Rotary is great way to get to know people – but sometimes you can learn a little too much about them as we found out with tonight’s life talk from our newest member Mike Dickerson.
Whilst we were expecting to hear few war stories arising from Mike’s current business, caring for peoples feet, we were instead treated to an entertaining resume of his life – his early career extorting chocolates from his sisters boyfriends as the price for leaving them alone – his early training at the Staffordshire agricultural college where they appeared to have grown some very strange plants – and his later career selling vibrators (the concrete variety) to the Germans.
A member of the International team in the coming year we are sure to see some novel fund raising ideas from Mike. The team’s fundraising in the new Rotary year kicks off with a BBQ to be held at Wolverhampton Cricket Club on Sunday the 10th July in support of Village Water, helping to bring clean drinking water and sanitation to Africa. Tickets are just £12.50 and everyone is welcome – if you’d like tickets then contact a Club member or email us.
