Ulster Unionist MLA Ross Hussey this week hosted the World President of Rotary International, Gary C.K. Huang, and officers from Rotary UK and Ireland at Parliament Buildings.
The West Tyrone MLA said:
“I was delighted to support local Rotarians when I was asked last year if I would organise a visit for the World President to Parliament Buildings, Stormont. Frank Arnold, a personal friend for many years, is the 2015 Conference Chairman so when he asked for my support I had no hesitation whatsoever.
“The Rotarians have provided charitable support to countless groups and individuals for many years. I personally have never been a member of the organisation, but I know many people who are and the commitment that they show to the charities they support is obvious.
“I wish the conference every success on their visit to Belfast and I have no doubt many friendships will be created.'
