The Rotary Club of Grimsby has been a vital, local service club for 45 years.  One of its most well-known recognitions is the Paul Harris Fellow.  The honour is bestowed on Rotarians and non-Rotarians who exemplify Rotary’s motto – Service Above Self.  

Each year, the Rotary Club of Grimsby has recognized at least one Rotarian and one community members who meet the high professional and personal standards set by Rotary’s founder Paul Harris.  The Rotary Club of Grimsby traditionally honors the recipients at a gala dinner, and they receive a special certificate, a gold pin, and a gold medallion on a blue-and-gold ribbon.  See Paul Harris Fellow history video.

 

This year, the Rotary Club of Grimsby pivoted to an on-line virtual recognition event honouring three community members and one Rotarian.  Over one hundred individuals, locally and from around the country, attended the event via Zoom.

 

Our regularly scheduled 3rd Thursday meeting for March was a little different this year.  Instead of attending a local club Zoom meeting, Club members were asked to register for and participate in the District 7090 Conference which was being held virtually.  Over 4 days, interesting and inspiring speakers shared their perspectives of how Rotary is changing and evolving and offered a variety of suggestions for local clubs.  There was also a lot of merriment and virtual socializing!  

 

Liz asked several of the members who attended any or all of the days for their thoughts about the conference.  It is interesting how the perspectives are different based on how our  different Rotarians view "their Rotary".  One key message through out the conference and what your fellow Rotarians recollect is the need to change and the possibilities that abound.

 

 

 

The Rotary Club of Grimsby in concert with its sister Rotary Clubs paused the recruitment of volunteers for the West Niagara Great Lakes Watershed Cleanup for Saturday, April 24^th, 2021  Rotary continues to be committed to our environment, however choosing an alternate date is not possible at this time.

 

Over 15 partner organizations, all four governments within the West Niagara area and numerous service clubs and community groups have joined in our efforts.  We thank them and appreciate their continued support and partnership.

 

The Club  had educational information about the importance of our watershed and what everyone of us can do, every day, to help keep our watersheds clean. 

 

Take care and stay safe.
