Rotarians were out and about distributing cheques to charities from our Corvette Lottery. Receiving cheques are RVH, YMCA, Gilda's Club and the Collingwood Music Festival.
Rotarians proudly distributed funds to deserving recipients of the Corvette lottery, bringing smiles and support to various organizations. Pictured are representatives from Habitat for Humanity, Clearview Community Theatre, Big Brothers Big Sisters, Theatre Collingwood, and First Robotic s Canada (Cybergnomes).
We were able to present three cheques from the proceeds of our annual Corvette Draw. Rotarian Peter Wilson presented a cheque to Simcoe Peer Support for Mental Health & Addictions. Rotarian Jay Anstey presented a cheque to Breaking Down Barriers, an Independent Living Centre. Lastly, Rotarians Elizabeth and Kevin de Groot, Steve Wallace, Rick Gao, and his partner Jennifer Huddleston presented a cheque to the Wasaga Society for the Arts at their first annual member celebration night.
It was a pleasure for Kevin de Groot to present the keys to this year's Corvette lottery winner, Mitchell G. from Barrie. We had another successful lottery and look forward to supporting local charities with the proceeds.
Gathering with the Friends of Nancy Island and families who were dedicating trees in memory of loved ones, Rotary was proud to be a partner in this project on a sunny afternoon at Beach 4. Marilyn Beacroft told how the Friends first put 30 benches along the beach for those who walk, like a rest, or need a spot to watch an awesome sunset. Today, with trees affected by Beatle Bugs and the Emerald Ash Borer, the focus has turned to planting indigenous species to provide shade and homes for birds.
The Wasaga Beach Club is part of the larger District 7010 Rotary family. The District Weekend allows Rotarians from around the District to come together to share, learn and grow their community and international supports and impact.
