The Rotary International Club Significant Achievement Award is given to recognize a particular club’s service project or activity that has had an exceptional impact. Rotary International stipulates that only one club per district, per year, is eligible to receive this award.This year on Monday October 2, 2017 District Governor Don Sword attended the grand opening of what was the culmination of one of the most significant projects ever undertaken by a club in our district when the Inspire Learning Centre opened in Summerside, Prince Edward Island. Rotary International President Ian Riseley was also in attendance along with many other special guests to celebrate the remarkable achievement of the Rotary Club of Summerside.
The ribbon was cut that day by DG Don and RI Pres Ian with the assistance of Rotary Club of Summerside Rotarians Derek Key, President Gordon Coffin and Assistant Governor Heather Matheson.
At the District Conference in St. John's DG Don was very pleased to present the Rotary International Significant Achievement Award for D7820 for 2017-18 to the Rotary Club of Summerside.
