World Polio Day is October 24

World Polio Day, held every year on October 24, is an opportunity for Rotary members to rally the world around the fight to eradicate the disease forever. Since 1988, we have seen a worldwide reduction in polio cases of 99.9%. For more than three years, we've seen wild polio cases in only two countries, Afghanistan and Pakistan.

This year the Rotary Club of St. Catharines South will be joining the other Rotary Clubs of St. Catharines (Downtown an Lakeshore) in a flag raising ceremony taking place at the St. Catharines City Hall on Friday October 21st, 2022. Please join us in being part of this very important ceremony. 
 
More information will be posted here.

Please help us reach our target of $11000

 
The tragic news of widespread  flooding and death in  Pakistan  through out the news is heart wrenching.  It always seems to be the struggling, poorer countries that are being hit- time and time again- with disaster after disaster.
 
 It is an incredible journey for this project- from recognizing malnutrition  and treating babies , then to prenatal moms and now flood relief. An amazing story.
Please help us reach our target of $11000 2022-08-28 04:00:00Z 0

Thank you all for being a part of this effort. In a few years when there is fruit we will be here to help to create a market and post harvest products from the breadfruit. Below are just some breadfruit products made on different islands. Now we pray that all these trees survive.

Water, the source of life, carries death and disease in much of the developing world. One in six people in the world have no access to safe drinking water. With help from Rotary sponsored water and sanitation projects, like the Haiti Water for Life Program, Rotarians have helped thousands of communities globally.

Providing Clean Water is one of Rotary International's Six Areas of Focus.

Did You Know?
 
One of the first large-scale global grant projects under the Rotary Foundation's Future Vision pilot is providing clean water to thousands in Sierra Leone.

Conversation: invitation to Rotary Club Niagara Falls Sunrise event

 

Dear fellow Rotarians,

The Rotary Club of Niagara Falls, Sunrise has a tradition of involving newer members in organizing a special event that is a social opportunity among Rotarians and a fund raising opportunity.  We realize that each club has its own events that they hold or support, but on behalf of the “new members” we would like to invite you and your members to our event on March 9th, entitled A Premiere Murder.  It is a murder mystery dinner and dance.  

Here is how the evening unfolds:  cocktails at 6:00, dinner at 7:00, (murder shortly thereafter), and dance at 9:00.  During the cocktails the scene will be set and throughout the dinner the audience will help solve the murder.  Once the culprit has been caught and taken away, you are free to enjoy the evening of fellowship and dancing.

We have created a Hollywood theme and are asking attendees to dress for the red carpet (cocktail attire).  We are also asking attendees to come as their favorite Hollywood personality or character from a movie.  Are there any Marilynn Monroe look-a-likes in your club?  How about someone as debonair as Clark Gable?

This should be a fun evening.  It is being held at the Grand Ballroom of the Stonemill Inn (Johnny Rocco’s, 271 Merritt Street, St. Catharines).  It is an evening of interactive dinner theatre.  Tickets are $75/person.  A four course dinner is being served.  Cash bar.  Call Brian Kon for tickets 905-704-9806 or by email at brian.kon@HotelDieuShaverFoundation.com <mailto:brian.kon@HotelDieuShaverFoundation.com> .

A poster has been attached.

The Paul Harris Fellowship is named for Paul Harris who founded Rotary with three business associates in Chicago in 1905.

The Fellowship was established in his honour in 1957 to express appreciation for a contribution US$1,000 to the humanitarian and educational programs of The Rotary Foundation. Those programs include an array of projects that save and invigorate the lives of people around the world and enhance international friendship and understanding.
Foundation programs provide educational opportunities, food, potable water, health care, immunizations, and shelter for millions of persons. These activities are funded, implemented and managed by Rotarians and Rotary clubs around the globe.

Rotarians also designate a Paul Harris Fellow to recognize another person whose life demonstrates a shared purpose with the objectives and mission of the Rotary Foundation to build world understanding and peace.

As we move closer to a more peaceful world today, the following individuals become Paul Harris Fellows:

You Are The Missing Piece. Membership Chair Sheila Bristo speaks on Rotary Membership Month.

By participating in local and international service projects, club members can volunteer their time and talents where they're most needed.

The Avenues of Service are Rotary's philosophical cornerstone and the foundation on which club activity is based:

  • Club Service focuses on strengthening fellowship and ensuring the club's effective functioning.
  • Vocational Service encourages Rotarians to serve others through their vocations and to practice high ethical standards.
  • Community Service covers the projects and activities the club undertakes to improve life in its community.
  • International Service encompasses actions taken to expand Rotary's humanitarian reach around the globe and to promote world understanding and peace.
  • New Generations Service recognizes the positive change implemented by youth and young adults through leadership development activities, service projects, and exchange programs.

Jack Bailey, A True Friend in Rotary

Posted by Ian Forbes
It was appropriate that Ed Telenko spoke at our meeting on Monday of a great Rotarian who showed us the way to make someone welcome as a new member. He did not tell us the name of the quiet person of whom he spoke with such respect but most of us knew that person was Jack Bailey. It is with deep sadness that we learned of Jack's passing the very next day.
