    #Ribfest2023: A Bittersweet Farewell: Reflections on the Grand Finale. By Pres. Nevine.

    story thumbnail
    As the sun went down on the last day of our yearly Ribfest, lots of feelings rushed through me. The four days were a big mix of fun – we laughed, hung out, and had yummy ribs. Now, as we got ready for the big finish, I felt both a bit sad to say bye and super proud of what our super – hero team did.
     
    When the day slowed down, a note from a volunteer really touched me. It was for me, but it showed how well we worked together as team Scarborough. The note talked about how we stick together and help each other. It was a lovely reminder that even though I got the note, it was meant for all of us who made this event happen.
     
    So, my awesome Rotarian friends, as we get ready to clean up and relax, I’m thinking about the amazing team that made this Ribfest awesome. Each of us did special things and we made a cool group of friends with the same goal.
    As the curtains close on this year’s Ribfest, I’m thankful for what we did together. The end of this fun time is just the start of the stories we’ll make next year. Let’s celebrate what we did today, take a break to enjoy it, and soon, get ready for another year of doing good things.

    #RibfestUnleashed: Triumphs, Turmoil, and Rotary Magic! By President Nevine

    story thumbnail
    Anticipation buzzed in the air as I ventured toward the Ribfest grounds at daybreak. The inaugural day of RibFest had finally arrived, and my heart brimmed with excitement. My mission: to capture the essence of this remarkable event by immortalizing a snapshot of the esteemed Board members. Little did I suspect that the day held a trove of surprises in its wings.
     
    Upon my approach, a whirlwind of activity met my eyes. Instead of the united pose I envisioned, the Board members stood scattered, each engrossed in wrestling with unforeseen challenges that had cropped up overnight. Power outages, tent collapses. Financial hiccups – it appeared they were grapping with the entire spectrum of unexpected hurdles.
     
    Rather than succumbing to disheartenment, I embraced the moment, shadowing the Board members in their whirlwind. Her, amidst the commotion, was a golden opportunity to forge closer connections and witness their unwavering commitment and industrious =ness as they confronted these obstacles head-on.
     
    While I observed their dedicated efforts, I also indulged in sampling diverse food booths and mingling with the ribbers. The culinary delights from Manhattan Kitchen’s chicken creations to J&B’s enchanting ASmazing sugar cane elixir dazzled my taste buds. And then, there was the impactful 5N2 Kitchen, championed by The Rotary Club of Scarborough, leaving an indelible mark on the community fabric.
     
    Pondering the day’s whirlwind of events, I found myself urging other to join the embrace of the Rotary family. As the sun dipped below the horizon. Eagerly anticipated tomorrow, ready to rejoin this cherished family and fetch further exquisite memories into our shared tapestry.

    Our 70th Anniversary Zoom Celebration 

    70th Anniversary Celebration of Past Rotary wonderful moments.

    Congratulations go out to the members in the 70th anniversary committee.
    Led by Audrey (the great organizer), the 70th Anniversary Committee were responsible for a very successful day. Smiling faces all around. Quite a large number of past presidents and/or stand-ins showed up via zoom. Each of the past-presidents spoke for a few minutes about what made their time as president of The Rotary Club of Scarborough memorable to them. It truly shows what Rotary is all about, Service above Self.

    It was wonderful to listen to folks reminisce about their time as the president, and hearing about some of the projects that had taken place over the many years.

    Gerard (club photographer) and Gary (club historian) did some great work in setting up “The Rotary Club of Scarborough’s 70th Anniversay Bluffer”. Distribution to all members was key to the success of this day. We were able to see some of the Rotarians that got us to where we are today. This is so important in the continuity of the club, especially for newer members.

    Thank you to Mark Chipman (District Governor) for his appearance and Gerd Wengler for their support in attending this occasion.

    The proceedings were recorded for posterity purposes, so if you would like to view it again, just contact Gerard or John.

    New Rink at Simcoe PS

    The Pandemic has forced many individuals in our community to think outside the box. With the restrictions imposed on all of us of distancing and staying within our personal groups, the Parent Council of the Elizabeth Simcoe School decided they had had enough of their children not being able to exercise and have some activities, so they built the iconic Canadian backyard rink.
     
    The project was conceived and run by the Parent Council volunteers.
    Our CVS committee was approached, and it was decided to approve a $500 contribution as our part in reducing some COVID stress in our area.
     
    In these cold days of January and February this rink will be put to good use.
    Yours in Rotary – well done.

    The Rotary Club of Scarborough closed its very first “Tree of Remembrance” project with a ribbon Blessing by the Church of Holy Trinity Guildwood on January 10th.
     
    This year, for the first time in Canada, we established “The Rotary Tree of Remembrance” project.  An idea initiated by one of our newer members, from Ireland, which is where the idea originated.  The Tree of Remembrance allowed people the opportunity to remember loved ones and front-line workers, while also raising funds that the Rotary Club of Scarborough will use to support our many and varied local community projects.

    Media Release -June 2020 – Part Three:
     
    The Rotary Club of Scarborough and the Rotary Club of Scarborough Charitable Foundation continue to be busy doing our part in this Covid-19 Pandemic.  This is Part Three.
     
    Scarborough’s YouthLink Emergency Shelter and Transition Home has, like many of us, had to cancel several of their fundraising programs, leaving them in need of funds to support their unplanned COVID-19 expenses.  The Rotary Club of Scarborough Charitable Foundation has provided $1500.00 to assist them in this unprecedented time.

    Rotary Club of Sarborough and COVID-19

    The Rotary Club of Scarborough has been very, very, busy during this Covid-19 Pandemic.  Over the next few days we will be posting many of our projects.  This is Part Two.
     
    Vulnerable Families Project – TDSB and TCDSB:
    Through local Rotarian members and their local school board connections, it was brought to our attention that many families (known by principals in their respective schools) have no money for food and are struggling to pay rent.  With the support of Superintendents within the TCDSB and the TDSB, our Club purchased $4000 worth of $50 Food / Gift Cards which were delivered to Principals for distribution.   
    This project was a special request from the TDSB.  Here is one letter we recently received.
     
    “I am writing to you to thank you for your most generous donation of food gift cards to ten families from our school. As I am sure you are aware, our school services students and families from a variety of backgrounds, cultures and economic realities. We are situated in a designated area of economic need and we also welcome families who have made the journey to Canada to escape war and persecution in other countries.
     
    Your donation will ensure ten of our families will enjoy the peace of mind that comes from having a solid base of food items they can draw from when things get challenging. It will also ensure that in the midst of this global crisis, they understand their needs are important and that there are individuals and larger organizations who are actively trying to help them. I therefore thank you on behalf of myself, the families who have been touched by your generosity, our School Board and the wider community which they serve.”

    Roota is a non-profit organization founded in Canada by Nevine Yassa and friends.   Their mission is to raise the social, educational, economical and health standards of marginalized groups in Egypt.  Their present focus is on the Zabaleen of the Mokattam Mountain in Cairo.
     
    They are volunteers working with an Egyptian NGO called APE (Association of the Protection of Environment) who know the needy on site, disperse the looms as they deem fit, and use Roota monies for schools.  APE is looking at the increase in population and hence, are in dire need of new schools for tutoring, and pre-school.
