Inner Wheel Members
Personal service is a top priority and members find many ways to carry out projects in their local communities. They provide help in hospitals, hospices, care homes, schools, entertain the elderly and lonely and offer help to needy children and the disabled.
“Not chance of birth or place has made us friends
Being often times of different tongues and nations
But the endeavour for the self same ends
With the same hopes and fears and aspirations
(Longfellow)”
