The St George’s Rotary Club has given $20,000 to charities across the island.

Ihab Azab, the club’s immediate past president, said the club was aware of the challenges faced by charities over the past year.

He said the club’s members had worked diligently to raise funds to benefit ten different charities including the Coalition for the Protection of Children, the Islamic Cultural Centre, the Salvation Army, Meals on Wheels, Scars, Pals, Family Centre, Cats Bermuda, the SPCA and Living for Today.

Mr Azab said: “Our team has worked extremely hard to raise these funds over the past year.

“It makes me extremely proud to say that, with only 17 members, our club has proven that it punches above its weight.

“It has been an honour to be president of the St George’s Rotary Club and I look forward to continue working with my fellow members moving forward.”
