Club Meetings

Generally, Clubs meet twice a month, one being a speaker meeting and one a business meeting. Each Club works for service projects locally, raises money for local, and national, charities - and researches matters of local, national and international concern (e.g. child prostitution) to inform and influence Government and other bodies.
