Members of the Rotary Club of St. Catharines, St. Catharines South, St. Catharine's Lakeshore and Interact Club from Collegiate High School gathered together to raise the flag and awareness of the End Polio Now campaign that is spearheaded by Rotary International. They were joined by councillor Mark Stevens who gave some opening remarks along with our President Jackie and Interact President Rahaf Rifa who gave some remarks on behalf of the interact club highlighting the clubs' efforts to raise funds and awareness to support the campaign.
Rick's answer when asked why?
Why? We've all known/knew people who needed blood or plasma... who knows... we may need it someday ourselves... Why it takes no talent, no learning curve and costs only your time... and only at your convenience! Why? You can donate together with other Rotarians. Why? It is Service Above Self... just do it!
The next one is in November!
Many of you may remember our vibrant breakfast program that ran last year. Well, the new school year is here, and we are starting up again as of October 7.
To that end, we need volunteers to make it work.
What is involved:
Two volunteers would show up at 7:45am at Lincoln Centennial and put together a simple breakfast and serve to children. Preparation would take from 7:45 to 8:30am, serving to children would happen from 8:30 am to 9am, and clean up would happen from 9am to 9:15am. We are open to getting non-Rotarians and Rotarians at other clubs involved to make this work. If interested contact office@rotarystcatharines.com for more information.
Foundation Chair Rick Evans had the pleasant task of presenting PHF awards to Rotarian Sharon Willock and Mike Britton at the August 8th, 2024, meeting.
An awarded PH means the recognition is given to an individual whose actions demonstrate our moto of "Service Above Self."
Congratulations Sharon and Mike!
Even the big dark clouds could not deter President Jackie from talking up the Club at the at Hernder Estates’ Community Partner Supper Event! We are always open to new members!
Thank you, Tommy Wegge, for also keeping the watch!
