The Truro Gyro Club came into being on December 8,1960 with 25 charter members and sponsered by the Dartmouth and Windsor clubs.Over the years the membership has fallen and risen as can be expected with current membership at 28. Throughout the years the club has evolved while retaining the true fraternity of friendship through monthly meetings and social events. The fund raiser is the corn booth at the fair in august and is usually where we all catch up on events of the summer as there are no events after the june lobster social and installation of officers.      Over the years monies raised through the corn booth and garage sales have gone to support various charities.In the early 1980s it was decided to concentrate the  donations on the Pediatric ward of the Truro Hospital and so over the years the hospital has benefited in many various ways.       Early meetings had five main focus points:Entertainment committee,Project committee,Membership committee,Sick and Visiting,and Archivist  The main intrest has always been entertainment involving Fun, Food and Friendship and all activities are based on these.The premier event has been the car rally held every october and has out shone the lobster social in June.           The Truro Gyro Club has had numerous members climb up the ladder to be officers in District and International levels of the Gyro Faternity.         The Gyrettes have always been an intragal part of the club and when the Gyros had an idea the Gyrettes made sure that it was properly organised by guiding from the background.In the early 2000's the Gyrettes became active participants at all events and bring a clear voice to the meetings.Their incusion has added to the club and all events have now got a refreshing family orientation to them.         updated jan13/11
