Happy International Women's Day !
Until 1989, the Constitution and Bylaws of Rotary International stated that Rotary club membership was for males only. Times have moved and laws have changed. We are proud that our club is one of the first clubs to accept female members and privileged to be chairing for our 77 year old club.

British Community Honours Award at House of Lords, 19 October 2018.
Congratulations to Dr. Peter Wong-Morrow who was given recognition for making an outstanding contribution to the welfare and integration of minority communities into mainstream British society. He was presented the prestigious British Community Honours Award at a ceremony at the House of Lords on 19 October 2018, joined by his family and friends.
Peter is a role model who works closely with the Chinese-British community, promoting integration and social cohesion through business and charity work. Since arriving in the UK from China at an early age of 9, Dr Wong-Morrow integrated well through sports. Despite his small stature, he was in the football team, Art and Chess Club, broke the Hertfordshire County High Jump record and learned to play rugby until he became Captain of the School rugby team.
Peter and his family support several charities including the NSPCC. Through his membership of the Rotary Club of Elstree and Borehamwood for 17 years, he helps raise funds for Rotary’s chosen charities. A remarkable man, Peter gives up his time to help cancer patients with counselling and advice.

Rotary Club of Elstree & Borehamwood brought greetings to Rotary Club of Westminster West on 18 July 2018. Newly elected President Juvenal J M Shiundu gave a warm welcome to guests while Past DG 1120 Dr. Himansu Basu presented Nayan Patel the prestigious Paul Harris Fellow.
Dr Basu passionately talked about their ‘Stop Mothers Dying’ initiative called ‘Collaborative Action in Lowering of Maternity Encountered Deaths’ (Calmed). It is alarming that according to them, “800 mothers and 5000 babies die at childbirth everyday – most are preventable!”
Supported by Rotary Foundation, “Calmed” brings hope to individuals and organisations working towards reduction of preventable maternal deaths and lowering of associated morbidities and new born deaths.
Congratulations again to Nayan and to Juvenal !
