For the upcoming Rotary trip to Belize Loretta Baxter has compiled some lists of items they would like to bring with them to give away at the clinic. These items can be brought to our Rotary meetings. The intention is to collect all items by the date of the Rotary Christmas party on December 12th.

Rotary 11/22 Last week Rotarians rang bells for the Salvation Army. Pictured below are Larry and Ko working hard to fill the bucket. Let it be known that Steve Donovan and I were assigned to an outdoor post on Friday and were about completely frozen by the end of our shift at Hobby Lobby.

For anyone wishing to golf in Scotland Don V. and Larry V. will be on hand after hour meeting this week to talk about this opportunity:
Dear Fellow Rotarian,

I hope this email finds you and your family safe and well.
The Rotary Club of St Andrews International Golf Tournament is planned to take place from Sunday 8^th June to Thursday 12^th June 2025
We are delighted to confirm that we have been given access to the Old Course by the St Andrews Links Trust.
As you are aware, the Main Competition is for Rotarians only. In the past and at the request of a Rotarian, the International Golf Committee has exercised their discretion and permitted a few non-Rotarians to play in the Main competition’s qualifying rounds on the strict understanding that they (the non-rotarian) are aware that they cannot win any rotary prizes or qualify to play in the final 2 rounds of Rotary Club of St Andrews International Golf Championship. However, depending on their qualifying scores, they could qualify to play in the St Andrews Quaich Competition.
In 2024, 13 Rotarians requested the Committee to consider allowing a family member or friend to attend.
The Committee have decided to withdraw this concession as from 2026 and restrict the number of discretionary players to 15 in 2025. They will not be permitted to play in the St Andrews Quaich Competition in 2025.
The above restriction does not apply to the Partners of Rotarians who will continue to be permitted to play in the Main competition’s qualifying rounds but not in St Andrews Quaich Competition.
I attach the 2025 Brochure. Please read this carefully as there are significant changes this year.
Registration: This will be online through Golf Genius using the link
www.golfgenius.com/ggid/rigc25/register

Registration Fees/Dinner & Green fees. We will email instructions on the procedure to be followed once you have registered.

I also attach from the St Andrews Links Trust the procedure to be followed for Hiring Buggies (Carts)/Trolleys/Club Hire and Caddies.
I would also encourage you to study the attachment from the St Andrews Links Trust regarding the availability of Golf Buggies (Carts) particularly on the Old Course

Yours in Rotary
Douglas
