The Rotary Club of Wolverhampton
Precious memories of loved ones and absent friends… For sixteen years The Rotary Club of Wolverhampton has been organising the Tree of Remembrance in Wolverhampton City centre and has raised over £100,000 for the benefit of a whole range of local charities. This year we have again gratefully accepted the invitation from the Wulfrun Centre, and our Remembrance area will again be positioned near the Dudley Street entrance. Names and messages may be viewed from Saturday 16th, November.
Mel Eves joins the choir
Last year we commemorated the 100th Anniversary of the end of The Great War by inviting local people to send in family stories, handed down over the generations. We had stories of love and loss, of heroes and white feathers and of sacrifice at home in the local munitions factories. It became clear that Wolverhampton contributed in no small way to the War effort, both home and away. This year we have decided to feature a storyboard of memories connected to local sports personalities who have left an indelible mark on West Midland life. If you have any memories of family or friends, along with a photograph, we would be delighted to add them to the storyboard.
