Club News
At our January 16th meeting Co-president Lauri initiated a discussion about what our club’s future might look like.  Figuring out our future is a process of planning and developing strategies for future actions and developments.  It involves determining the best course of action, understanding future implications and assessing potential future outcomes. For example, it could pertain to personal growth or our club’s movement towards specific goals.
Lauri started by asking the questions
Question #1:  “What are you proud of and what are we good at?”.
Members provided some quality feedback which you can find... HERE.
 
Question #2:  "What are the Key External Factors or Developments Influencing RCOT?"
A list of possible external factors & developments are found... HERE.
Actions to be developed further with the members.

The Rotary Club of Oakville Trafalgar in conjunction with the Rotary Club of Oakville, made donations of $7500 to the Oakville & Milton Humane Society. This total donation of $15,000 successfully achieved the OMHS goal of raising over $45,000 to purchase a replacement van. This van will enable OMHS staff to transport rescued and injured animals as well as their staff.
This funding is separate from any revenue that the organization receives for enforcement purposes

In Rotary small ideas can make a big difference.
 
A Rotary Global Grant is a grant provided by The Rotary Foundation to support large international projects with sustainable, measurable outcomes in Rotary's ares of focus. These grants can fund a variety of activities, including humanitarian projects, vocational training teams, and scholarships for graduate-level studies. They are designed to address significant global challenges and advance Rotary's mission of world understanding and peace.
 
In 2016 eight (8) Rotary clubs from Milton, Oakville, and Burlington (MOB) got together to jointly support one Global Grant every year.  To date we have undertaken nine (9) projects with a total value of $1,216,000 US.
 
The Rotary Club of Oakville Trafalgar is proud to be an active member of this group.
 
See the video below for a snapshot of these projects.
