INTERNATIONAL UNDERSTANDING?

Inner Wheel has over 102,000 members in 98 countries/geographical regions. Members work tirelessly for those in need, both at home and overseas to offer practical and financial help in times of natural and man-made disasters. During the last year, hundreds of thousands of pounds were raised by our members for overseas projects, and by way of practical help we also despatch goods to war-torn areas, and knit and sew blankets and clothes for those in need. At Christmas, toys are despatched to orphanages and areas of hostilities.
The International Inner Wheel President for 2007/08 is Kamala Ramakrishnan , a member from India, and her theme for the year is

PERSONAL SERVICE?
In Great Britain and Ireland, practical help is offered to the sick, the young and the elderly, and disadvantaged, lonely, and handicapped people. Outings are organised to help the local community, and funds are raised by holding events and other activities.


And all the time we have a lot of FUN!

At a local level, the Inner Wheel Club of Folkestone has been working away quietly in the backgound, notching up 75 years of service to the people of Folkestone. We have links with Clubs in France and contacts in Sweden and Italy.

Our Club President, Kate, has chosen to support The Pilgrim's Hospice during her year in office.

Inner Wheel offers everyone who joins an instant circle of friends - we meet at Paul's Restaurant on the first Wednesday of the month at 6.45pm.

Do come and join us - you can be very sure of a warm, friendly welcome.
