Val Pretty - Manningtree Rotary, Frankenberg Partnership, U3A and so much more
In this brilliant chat with Valerie Pretty, Treasurer of the Manningtree Rotary, we learn about all the fun had & social good done by the Rotarians in our community. We chat about local projects such as new seating on Cox's Hill (part funded by Lawford Parish Council Grant), the refresh of the shelter on the Walls, the Rotary's role in tackling Polio elimination and lots lots more.
Val is a force of nature, involved in so much so we took the opportunity to talk about some of the other local groups Val is actively involved with including
- Manningtree & District/Frankenberg Partnership Association
- University of the Third Age
- Stour Valley Flower Club
Note: Rotary Club is one of many local community groups that receive modest grant funding via Lawford Parish Council.
