We’re a welcoming club, so let’s make our welcome felt to Rotarians where English isn’t their first language. You can write it however you like, however *you* feel is appropriate. In case you didn’t know, my first language isn’t English, it’s Rootish…
***********************************
Dear Rootish speaking visitor,
Welcome to our Rotary club web site. Although English may not be your first language you’ll still be welcome to visit our club if your’re visiting Canterbury. I myself am a fluent Rootish speaker and [other member(s)] speak Rootish as a second language. I’m certain that if you visit we’ll make you feel welcome.Our club meets every Wednesday morning, except for the 5th Wednesday of a month, for a buffet breakfast at Canterbury Cathedral’s Lodge, from 07:00am to 08:15. The 5th Wednesday is an evening meal which you’ll also be welcome to join us at.
To visit, please email secretary@rotarycanterburysunrise.org. If you’d rather write in Rootish, add this phrase “Visit enquiry where English is not a first language, please pass to Rotarian Steve Root for translation” to beginning of the email and the secretary will pass it onto me.
You might also be interested to know that you can stay in the
Cathedral Lodge hotel. Being situated in the grounds of Canterbury Cathedral it is right in the heart of the historic city. Visit http://canterburycathedrallodge.org/ or email
stay@canterbury-cathedral.org for further details.
Your in Rotary
Steve Root
