In a joint venture East Kilbride Rotary Club and her daughter Club Kittoch Rotary held their annual dance at the Crutherland Hotel where 94 Rotarians and guests gathered for a fun evening. There is a lot graft and hard work with organising the dance but undaunted President Elect of East Kilbride Rotary Club Leslie Irvine began with arrangements in the latter part of 2016, booking the hotel, visiting local Rotary Clubs to drum up numbers and forward planning for an enjoyable night. After piping in the top table East Kilbride President Bruce Gunn welcomed the guests with Kittoch President Ray Lyon saying grace. Strathaven Rotary Club was represented by their President, Deputy Lord Lieutenant Margaret Morton. Following a delicious meal the talented Duncanrig High School Pupils ceilidh band provided superb entertainment with a number of foot tapping reels encouraging guests onto the floor for a bit of jigging. One of the highlights of the evening was the presentation of a Paul Harris Fellow to East Kilbride Rotarian Tom Wilson for his services to Rotary. The DJ kept the music going for the remainder of the evening with guests taking to the floor until it was time for the carriages bringing a wonderful evening to a close. The £785.00 raised from the table raffle will be donated to EK Hangout, a local club for young adults aged 18 to 25 with disabilities.
