'Bring
Back the Smile to Nepal' - Report from Liskeard and Looe
In July 2018 Liskeard & Looe Inner Wheel were treated to a truly
inspirational talk given by Anna Gurung on 24th July on behalf of
her own charity 'Bring Back the Smile to Nepal'. Anna's and her husband
Sanu's dedication, motivation and enthusiasm has seen an entire village
re-built by local people through the aid of the charity Anna formed.
A 7.8MW, severe earthquake on 25th April 2015, devasted the region
of Gorkha, an area of Nepal where Anna and Sanu have family. Anna
then travelled to the region to offer help and chose the village of
Archanbas to receive funding. Nepal'sproud traditions meant that communities
would only accept funds if the monies could be used to buy the materials
needed to help everyone in the community re-build their homes. Anna
and Sanu were honoured to receive recognition from the Queen at a
Garden Party for all their good charitable work. Our Liskeard &
Looe Club continue to donate funds towards 'Bring Back the Smile to
Nepal' most especially because our Immediate Past President, Alison
Maiklem, is Anna's aunt. Our Club continues to donate funds, most
recently from our Summer 2019 BBQ, and also we send out much appreciated
tooth brushes and tooth paste, which is rather appropriate to 'Bring
Back a Smile'. We'd like to share with you some photographs recently
sent by Anna from Nepal of local people accepting their tooth brushes
and paste.

requests for assistance with refreshments and stalls on the day, will
be sent in due course.

DISTRICT
MEETING 18 SEPTEMBER 2019
At the meeting
at Trethorne on Wednesday 18 September the website was shown to all
members present.
One of the suggestions
that came forward was that there should be a calendar when Clubs could
invite other members to join them when they feel their meeting would
be interesting to other Clubs
e.g.. Helston/Lizard have a Dr talking to members on Woman's Health
in January and a Gin Festival in May
e.g. If you have a Coffee morning or walks and you would like to invite
other members please send details to webmaster@innerwheelsw.org

Association
President, Enid Law with Officers of District 129

Association
President, Enid Law, joined us at our Rally this year in Bude. There
was a Service of Dedication and Thanksgiving led by Rev. David Barnes
at the St Michael & All Angels, Budehaven followed by a luncheon
at the Falcon Hotel, Bude.
Association President, Enid Law, spoke about how we must remember
our moto "Together we can". Inner Wheel members have the
same values of friendship, and spirit. It is a worry that some Clubs
have closed as they cannot get officers, but we have to look at
doing things a different way. Job sharing within the Club. If someone
is willing to continue in an office then sometimes the 3 year rule
should be waivered. We must be tolerent to fellow members. Looking
to the future we are looking into the possibility of "i-clubs".
Clubs through the internet. This will be discussed at the Conference.
Remember Margaretta Golding in 1924 thought it would be a good idea
to start up a Ladies Club and see how successful it has become.
The Charity this year for the Association President is "Riding
for the Disabled" and she hopes Clubs will support this Charity
in their own way. |

District Chairman Beryl Gardener Inaugural Speech
Beryl said
that she was very much looking forward to being District Chairman
in the coming year, even though it is a role she has taken before.
She is looking forward to the District Rally in November which
will be held Bude, preceded by a church service. Plans are already
underway and although some travelling will be involved, Beryl
hopes as many members as possible will attend. Beryl firmly believes
that participation in District meetings is worthwhile for all
members and that this enables them to get more out of their membership
of Inner Wheel.
Beryl has been a member of Inner Wheel since the 1970s and has
greatly enjoyed serving on committees and the DEC. She urged members
to consider serving on the DEC, it is not difficult and nobody
expects you to be perfect.
Beryl feels that Inner Wheel has given her the opportunity to
tackle things that she never dreamed she could do.
Beryl thanked everyone for being part of Inner Wheel and encouraged
all to enjoy their participation.
Beryl announced
her charity for the year; Cornwall Air Ambulance. She apologised
in advance for her non-attendance at the next District Meeting
due to a pre-booked holiday. Vice Chairman Hilary Genes will chair
the meeting.
