D5 IW Buxton President Mary

D5 IW Buxton President Mary

I am a widow with one daughter. She and her husband live with me. I joined Inner Wheel in 1978 as a member of the New Mills Club, the club where my mother had been a member. During my time as a member of New Mills, I was President, Treasurer, Overseas Service Organiser and Club Correspondent. I moved from Disley to Buxton in 1985 but stayed as a member of New Mills until, sadly, the club folded due to lack of members. I then joined Buxton Inner Wheel where I have served as Overseas Service Organiser, Treasurer and now President for the second time.

My chosen charity is a local charity, Helen Atkin Riding for the Disabled in Buxton.
