WHAT WE HAVE BEEN UP TO:
Our Taste and Tour of Dundas 2023 was a roaring success with over 300 riders in the big rides, a 20 km family ride, walking tours, and Shed Brewery, Red Door Pizza, and Burnt Tongue food and beverage, plus a number of Dundas Vendors, in the Dundas Driving Park. We did not anticipate the size of the crowds, and ran out of food, but certainly will add for the 2024 event. We were able to raise $10,000 each for our Routes Youth Centre and for St. Joseph's Villa Dundas Hospice. Our thank you to all who supported us. You made it happen.
Our Lobster & Rib Fest May 28 2022 was a roaring success
... we had only 4 lobster left at the end of the day!
We have published brief descriptions of some 100 significant projects locally and internationally in our 74 years of Rotary in Dundas (ranging from a few thousand dollars to hundreds of thousands, have been able to support a number of local endevours, and will finish June 30 in the black financially, We have increased our membership by 25% this Rotary year, and are raring to go into our 75th year.
We managed to meet in person from September through December 14, 2021, cancelled meetings during January, started back on ZOOM weekly beginning February 1st, and were back in person by March 1st, 2022. Although we have sometimes been unable to meet, we are still supporting initiatives at home and abroad.
In June 201, we wrote: in the past few months, as we close the Rotary year 2020-21, the Club has continued to meet, on-line only, every second week. We have found little ways to serve:
- We have helped to sponsor a “Walking Guidebook of Dundas - a nice compliment to the Rotary Heritage Walking Tours we launch in June.
- To assist frontline medical workers in their attempts to vaccinate persons with precarious living accommodations, we have provided a quantity of bus tickets and Tim Horton’s gift cards to help to attract vulnerable persons to come for their COVID shots.
- honouring Rotary’s international concern for garbage at our Great Lakes, we have so far conducted two cleanups: one of Cootes Drive along the Des Jardine’s canal, and one along the old rail trail south of University Plaza.
- The Club sponsored meals for a number of shut-ins for Valentine’s Day.
- Progress in our project with a Rotary Club in Kenya to provide toilet and water facilities for several schools in rural Kenya, has advanced to the stage where building contracts are being finalized.
- We are in the process of granting study/research awards for our annual McMaster Global Health endeavour.
