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.

Have you met these 2 Rotarians? These 2 ladies have been very busy creating Hope in the World and Magic! At the June 6th meeting Rotarians Lezlie Murch and Rina Bergshoeff took the members and guests on a whirlwind tour through their Bolivia trip. These two have a special connection to this country. Lezlie was an exchange student in 1973 and Rina came to Canada in 2004 from Bolivia and still has family there today. There are 6 major projects through Global Grants that have made a huge impact on the lives of many people. Total of projects: $317,196 USD The presentation touched on each incredible story as they visited each project and so many positive outcomes to so many people. They concluded with thanks to each and every Rotarian for making this possible!

It was with distinct pleasure for President Rick Evans to give some history and well deserving acknowledgement to Ray Bukovec for his over 50 years of outstanding service to our club and for expanding Rotary's reach in Slovenia. Surrounded by his family, receiving a Paul Harris Fellow Award made for an emotional moment for him and all. Congratulations and thank you Ray.

Dear St. Catharines Rotary Club, My boys J and E are medically fragile children who see a lot of doctors at McMaster Children’s Hospital in Hamilton ON. Being a parent who doesn’t drive and living in St. Catharines, we can have a hard time making it to important appointments. Rotary was our saving grace. You have helped us by loading funds onto my Presto Card so we could use the Go Bus system to get to and from Hamilton. You also helped us during the time of the Go Bus strike when we had appointments and even a surgery booked to help us get taxis to and from McMaster. You have definitely helped alleviate some of the stress that comes with getting to and from Hamilton. If it wasn’t for Rotary this overstressed mom would have had a harder time getting to my children’s appointments. Thank you. Kelsey, Mom at Niagara Children’s Centre
