First ever female Jordans Rotarian
After 28 successful years supporting the community, the Rotary Club of Jordans and District has recruited its first woman Rotarian.
The move is part of a pioneering new membership structure which has been specially designed to boost recruitment among younger people.
As well as the traditional Rotary membership structure, Jordans is now offering a special 'couples' membership which enables a couple to join on a single membership while sharing the Rotary responsibilities of attending meetings and helping with fundraising. The new scheme is intended to help recruit younger men and women whose family or professional responsibilities frequently make it impossible for them to commit enough time to Rotary.
And the scheme has already attracted the club's first female Rotarian. Grainne Ruhan, from Gerrards Cross, is joining Jordans on a couples membership with her husband Gabriel Ruhan.
The couple with their three daughters aged nine, 10 and 12, moved back to the UK from America three years ago. They will take it turns to attend Jordans' weekly meeting which takes place over a sandwich supper at the Bellhouse every Monday evening.
The special scheme was developed by Jordans' Membership Chairman Leo Lacy who had to clear the idea with Rotary International in Great Britain & Ireland (RIBI) before launching it officially in South Bucks.
