On February 18th VTN Chairman Fran Webb was invited for a meal by the Rotary Club and had the opportunity to give a talk about Vale Talking News.

Worldwide Rotary oversee many projects to support local communities and it is thanks to Evesham Rotary who, back in 1980, were instrumental in the formation of a Talking Newspaper here in Evesham.

Fran said "Being invited along to meet the members was a wonderful opportunity to bring them up to date with how VTN works today. How valuable our Volunteers are and how we record and distribute our recordings to our listeners today. Technology has moved on since 1980 and it's our policy to embrace such changes. Today's recordings also now include more articles along with local news."

At the end of the evening Rotary Club President Joyce Davey presented VTN with a cheque for £300 from the Christmas Tree of Light Appeal.
