We spent a lovely day at the exit door of Raemoir Garden Centre selling tickets for the annual Rotary Car Raffle - we met lots of lovely folks who willingly gave their support to this year's recipient charities Clan Cancer Support and Scotland's Charity Air Ambulance - SCAA - in the hope of winning a brand new car - a Suzuki Swift!
We, happily, parted with hundreds of tickets!
Thank-you everyone!

Last night, we were delighted to welcome Anne from Scotland's Charity Air Ambulance - SCAA who gave us a talk on the Charity's work and how it operates - always there when we need them. Thank-you Anne. Guests and folk from Banchory Legion Scotland also joined us for the evening.
This year's Rotary Car Raffle (first prize A CAR) benefits Clan Cancer Support and Scotland's Charity Air Ambulance - SCAA and so some Rotary members will be at Raemoir Garden Centre this Saturday at the exit and we'll be selling raffle tickets there.
If you see us please buy a ticket and support these super charities. 😎😍

A Wonderful Visit from Rotary Club of Banchory-Ternan

We were delighted to welcome members of the Banchory-Ternan Rotary Club to Raemoir Manor for an enjoyable afternoon of friendship, conversation, and community engagement.

It was a pleasure to spend time together, and we are thrilled that the Rotary Club will now be holding their meetings with us on a monthly basis. We greatly value opportunities to strengthen connections within our local community and look forward to developing this partnership in the months ahead.

Our guests also enjoyed a selection of delicious homemade cakes, expertly prepared by our talented chef, Lorna, which were very well received. 🎂☕

Thank you to everyone who joined us. We look forward to welcoming you back next month and continuing this wonderful relationship.
