With over 1.2 million members, in 200 countries and geographic areas, you never know who might show up at a meeting. Today, we had the great pleasure of meeting Pippo Bernnardo of Club Rotary di Palazzolo A. " Valle della,'Anapo " in Sicily, and his daughter Lorenza  (who now lives in Toronto). President Clarke presented Pippo with an RTE banner, and in exchange, he presented us with his original piece of art inspired by the landscape of Sicily. Making friends around the world is just one of the many joys of being a Rotarian.

 

 

On behalf of RTE, Jackie presented the JPCI Panthera Tech 6867 robotics team with a cheque for $2,500. These funds will help pay for the costs of a student project to mentor a northern Ontario indigenous robotics team in the FIRST Lego League.  The funds will also be used to support the JPCI student’s participation in the District Championship event which they qualified for at the previous event at Durham College.  

 

 

We are very proud to support the JPCI CITY students at  John Polanyi Collegiate Institute. These incredible students spend 9 demanding days helping build a school in the Bella Vista community of Ecuador where the WE & MEtoWE foundation have heavily invested in. 

 

Rotary Toronto Eglinton annually awards thousands of dollars to students in support of higher education.
