Where do we go from here |
| Although the Club may, by Rotary standards, be low in numbers it makes up for that in commitment and enthusiam. The Club is a very active one and recognised for its friendliness and support for the local community. Strangely, most of the Club members live in nearby Newtonhill but there is a hope that more new members can be found from the actual town of Portlethen |
