The Bipolar Rotary eClub would be delighted if you were able to join them on Thursday 10th August from 2-3 pm (London time) for an event to celebrate the chartering of the very first Rotary Bipolar eClub. Gordon McInally, President of Rotary International and Bipolar UK Ambassador will be speaking alongside Simon Kitchen, CEO of Bipolar UK and President of the new eClub. The event is open to everyone – please resister here if you would like to attend (non-Rotary members please write ‘blank’ under Club and District boxes) https://form.123formbuilder.com/form-6478860/bipolar-e-club-charter
The Rotary Bipolar eClub is exclusively for those affected by bipolar (living with the condition, a close family member or friend, or with a keen interest in the cause). The eClub will meet fortnightly online and will be open to anyone affected by bipolar anywhere in the world.
