Club Information
Posted by Cameron Kozlowski
www.rotarykw.ca Our club is a very diverse group of people who share a common interest and passion for community service and fellowship. We have approximately 80 members in our club, which celebrated it's 25th anniversary in March 2006. We all work hard together to make sure our community is a great place to live, work and raise our families. All of this is done in an atmosphere of friendship, fun and common commitment to serve others.
As a service club, we work hard to raise money to give back to worthwhile charitable causes in our community. We receive applications and donate funds based on the merits of the applications. We have made small and large contributions that impact the community, including large capital gifts to Catholic Family Counselling Centre, Family and Children's Services of Waterloo Region and YMCA Waterloo. The club also has a long standing commitment to the KidsAbility Centre, formerly the Rotary Centre, and makes a significant annual contribution to its operations.
The club will on average raise approximately$100,000 per year. Our major fundraiser is the Vacation Fantasy Lottery, in which we sell tickets for a chance to win vacations all over the world. We also run a charity golf tournament at a local course. We are busy during Oktoberfest, hosting the kick-off luncheon and operating the Crown and Anchor wheel in Concordia's main tent. These fundraisers are held annually, and we also occasionally do other select events based on interest from the membership. Community service activities include volunteering, mentoring, youth leadership and development.
The Club is an active with Rotary International participating in Rotary Foundation Giving, RYLA, International Projects and Camp Enterprise.
