VIC CAMP TOASTS THE ROTARY CLUB OF MIDHURST AND PETWORTH 

My toast is to the Rotary Club of Midhurst & Petworth in Sussex UK. I chose this Club to toast because in 1943 during World War 2 I was evacuated to this area of England from my home in London and in researching this toast it brought back many memories of my youth in war torn England. The Rotary Club of Midhurst & Petworth is in RI District 1145 which covers East and West Sussex.
