Meet & Remember Trustee Report 2022
The Exeter ‘Meet and Remember Club’ which was founded and supported by The Rotary Club of Exeter, aims to combine combating the onset of memory problems with community social activity and the awareness of the importance of local and personal verbal history in combating loneliness in the community. It meets weekly on a Wednesday at the Beacon Centre in Beacon Lane, Exeter at 11am and has a two hour morning session, followed by a lunch.
