celebrating 95 years serving Cork

The Rotary Club of Cork is celebrating 95 years of voluntary work done by Rotarians. Their first formal meeting was held on the MV Innisfallen in 1926 and the first President was JJ Horgan, after whom Horgan’s Quay is named. Their current President is Willie O’Brien owner of Spar on MacCurtain Street. Have you seen Debenhams windows lately? Then take a walk by, see a unique display of the Club’s history showing some of their activities through the years, a really interesting story about the people of Cork City and what they do for each other. It’s also a big “thank you” to the people of Cork who have given hundreds of thousands to support those less well off than themselves over the years, the Rotary Remembrance Tree is a prime example. Rotary is always on the go in Cork, Ireland and around the Globe and always looking for new members. If you are looking to volunteer, feel you can give a little back to the community then please contact secretary@corkrotary.ie
