The Presidents meeting from a couple of weeks ago is putting together a plan for the Winnipeg Rotary Clubs to support Westminster Housing project. We have donated $500 to the Westminster Housing Project to get some general maintenance work done. Bob Foster attended our meeting today and brought us up to date on the Westminster Housing Project. A lot of these homes have been in service for a long time and they need to be updated. The Winnipeg Rotary Clubs
are figuring out the best way that Rotary can help over the long term. We will need to plan to contribute to this cause for the next few years.
