Happy Thanksgiving to all Rotarians and your families!
As we gather with family and friends this Thanksgiving, let us take a moment to give thanks for Rotary and the incredible impact we make together.
Through our shared commitment to Service Above Self, Rotary saves lives and brings hope around the world, throughout our nation, within our communities, and even close to home.
Thank you to Claire Maclean for hosting our club this week at The Foundry Tri-Cities.
The Foundry Tri-Cities, a youth wellness centre operated by SHARE Family & Community Services provides a unique "one-stop" model - youth can walk in without an appointment and access a range of services including mental health counselling, medical care, substance use supports, peer support, employment services, and family resources.
By bringing these services together under one roof, young people receive timely support and a personalized care plan without having to navigate multiple agencies on their own.
A key strength of Foundry is its collaboration with Fraser Health, governments, local schools, community organizations, and non-profits.
This partnership approach allows professionals to work together to address complex issues including anxiety, depression, homelessness, substance use, and youth vulnerability, helping ensure that no young person falls through the cracks.
The Foundry Centre continues SHARE’s long-standing mission to support people through moments of vulnerability.
Co-designed with youth through a dedicated advisory committee, the centre prioritizes inclusivity and connection. The centre reflects priorities of today’s generation, especially for LGBTQ+ youth, newcomers, and those experiencing social isolation.
Thank you to Claire, CEO of SHARE, for your exceptional leadership and unwavering commitment in supporting vulnerable individuals and families, while being instrumental in ensuring access to critical safety resources within our community.
Our club is proud and delighted to present Claire and the entire SHARE team with a cheque in recognition of their outstanding work. This cheque is a portion of the proceeds of our Rotary 50/50 draw.
Also from the proceeds of our Rotary 50/50 draw, Frank presented a cheque to the Food Link Society and to KidSport Tri-Cities for all the great work these groups do and the positive impacts they make to our communities and beyond.
Great turnout for our RIIPS - Remove Invasive Plant Species event last Sunday at Rocky Point Park - we filled over 50 bags! Thank you to all the volunteers, the city staff, and to Bill and Devon for organizing.
A reminder to all club members to help keep our Rotary Little Book House at Old Orchard Park well stocked.
If you have gently used books to share, please consider dropping a few off during your next visit.
By keeping the shelves full, we help encourage reading, learning, and community connection for visitors of all ages.
Thank you for helping make this small but meaningful Rotary project a success!
