On Thursday March 1, President Vince assisted by Hans Pilz, presented a cheque for $2,500 to support programs at the Jewish Senior Centre.

The Jewish Seniors Drop In Centre is committed to engaging its members and keeping them involved in life. Not only do we provide a variety of presentations at the centre, we arrange out trips to locations such as Elk Island Park to hear a lecture at the only dark sky location around Edmonton. We also arranged a trip to Luminaria at the Devonian Gardens, a trip to a murder mystery, an opera evening and many others. To get participants to an event we have to hire a bus and a bus is not cheap.
In fact transportation is the largest expense we have at the club.
So, when we were kindly given a donation of $2,500.00 by Edmonton Strathcona Rotary we were so pleased as we knew that Rotarians "got it": keeping seniors connected is important. Not only does it enrich lives but it also helps lessen feelings of loneliness and helplessness.
Thank you to our friends at Rotary
Hans Pilz, Board Member
