District 11 Chairman Mary Smith

Dear Visitor,
I am privileged to be District 11 Chairman this year and I am very much looking forward to visiting all 29 clubs in my year.
My Charity is Autism Wessex who do a lot of work with teenagers and adults. I have a granddaughter aged 25 with autism and realise how much help she still needs.
Ann Acaster is the association President for this year and her charity is Jessie’s Fund which helps children with severe disabilities to communicate through music.
I expect my year to be very busy but enjoyable lots of travelling and lots of fun.
My club is Parkstone and Poole who are very supportive and I am sure will help me though my busy year.
I joined Inner Wheel in 1996 in district 12 and my club was Uckfield where I took the position of President 4 times and treasurer once.
We moved to Poole in 2012 and I joined Parkstone and Poole a large club with 50 plus members and very busy. l became president in 2015 and joined District as JVC 2016, SVP in 2017  and now of course District Chairman.
