These are just some of the things we do...
My name is Astrid and I have the privilege of being Abingdon Vesper's President for the second year in a row. Together with my husband Ben I have lived in the UK for more than 30 years, and we raised our two daughters here. I work as a translator and I am passionate about languages, travel and aquarobics. I also love Rotary, the work that this worldwide organisation does and the principles it stands for . I was lucky enough to be a Rotary Youth Exchange Student to the USA when I was young and thanks to Rotary I have made new friends in Abingdon, in the UK and all over the world! The Rotary Club of Abingdon Vesper is a small and friendly team of enthusiastic men and women of all ages, who live and work in and around Abingdon-on-Thames in Oxfordshire. We want to make a difference in our community, both locally, nationally, and internationally by taking action and giving back to our communities. As a team we organise fun activities to raise funds, and as a team we decide which worthy causes we want to support.
Despite the pandemic, we were able to do a lot last year:
The Rotary Club of Abingdon Vesper meets every 1st and 3rd Tuesday evening of the month. As soon as the COVID-19 restrictions are lifted, we will be having a meal at 7.30pm at the Hilton Garden Inn on the Tesco roundabout in Abingdon, followed by a meeting, often with a very inspirational speaker. Have a look at the information on this page about our Upcoming Speakers. We will offer hybrid meetings, so that people can join us virtually as well. Please contact me so that I can send you a Zoom link or book you in for the evening.
This year the club has become a member of End Plastic Soup and we will be supporting environmental initiatives in Abingdon and in our Rotary District 1090. We support our own Interact club at Europa UK School for 12-18 year olds and we will be organising fundraisers so that we can continue helping people at home and abroad. Watch this space!
