Community<br />
Rotary is at the heart of local communities and our <strong>Club</strong> has been involved in<br />
many events and with many local groups over the years. Our Senior Citizens<br />
are one such group where the <strong>Club</strong>’s Community Service committee arranged<br />
annual events. In the early days, we held twice-yearly outings for residents of<br />
Aultwharrie Nursing Home.<br />
These outings evolved into a summer Mystery Tour in members’ cars<br />
followed by a High Tea, complete with entertainment and a ‘wee refreshment’ at<br />
a local hostelry – while in November, we held a Winter Concert. Sadly, the final<br />
Mystery Tour took place in August 2006.<br />
However the Winter Concert is as popular as ever. Initially held in the<br />
Victoria Halls in Dunblane, we moved venue in 2010 to the Queen Victoria School.<br />
This added an extra dimension to the event as the pupils at the school were<br />
delighted to welcome the guests and greet them on arrival with pipers and pupils<br />
in full dress uniform.<br />
