Rita Jolliff
Welcome
Welcome to our page, we are Rita, Mo and Carol who are taking up the reins for a second year. Rita and Carol have both been District Chairmen in the past but last year was the first for Mo, who also doubles as our Treasurer. However, we found last year that sharing the large area of District 20 between us worked very well.
We are looking forward to another happy year filled with friendship and activity.
All our Clubs welcome visitors and hold a variety of activities between the monthly meetings. Do have a look at the map to find a club near you and please contact them via the email on the left.

Who we support
We are not selecting a District Charity this year but are encouraging all members to become involved in the ‘Orange the World’ campaign in November, which highlights the very serious problems that so many women and girls are experiencing throughout the world.
Support will also be given to President Pat's chosen charity, Papyrus www.papyrus-uk.org
The International charity remains as Mary's Meals
There is gender inequality in education around the world, but by providing daily meals in school, we remove one hugely significant barrier for girls, giving them opportunities that they otherwise may not have.
