Gorey Rotary is growing fast!
Membership of Gorey Rotary Club has increased to such a level that we are now applying to Rotary International for our own charter. Since the club was established last year, we have operated as a satellite of Wexford Rotary. Once chartered, Gorey will be a fully independent member club of Rotary International.
Club President and Elderberry Farm Produce owner Gráinne Kenneally Quirke said: “We expected to be under the wing of Wexford Rotary for another few years, so it is fantastic to reach the charter threshold within a year. But it’s not surprising I suppose, because Gorey has such a vibrant and supportive business community, and that is exactly what Rotary is all about.”
Club Treasurer and AIB Branch Manager Róisín Clancy explained: “We have members from all parts of the business world. We have some who have been in business for years, and others who have set up more recently. We have some who are Gorey-born, and others who have moved into the area. But what we all have in common is a desire to give something back and to support our thriving locality, while making mutually beneficial contacts at the same time.”
Upcoming Events:
- Gorey Young Citizen of the Year Award 2027: nominations are open now, with the awards in February
- International Women’s Day event for local women in business: March
- Open Night: April, a chance to attend a meeting, hear about the club and meet the members
We meet on the first Tuesday evening of every month in Saint Aidan’s Services. Anyone wishing to join can contact us at ‘GoreyRotary’ on Instagram, or email club secretary Patrick Kinsella, owner of Gorey IT Solutions, at [email protected]
