This week we had a visit by John Williams from the Rotary Club of Edmonton Riverview to promote their recent club Fundraiser, a 500 piece puzzle with some very appropriate Edmonton river valley views. They are selling for thirty dollars each and would make a great gift for any and all.

The Rotary Interact Club Percy Page School went to Ronald MacDonald House on December 12, 2024 to provide, prepare, serve, and clean up for the Home For Dinner program for the evening.
They made a great supper featuring vegetarian and Italian sausage beef lasagnas, Ceasar salad and cookies for dessert. The RMH residents really appreciated the complimentary dinner prepared and served with many smiles.
The RMH Programs and Family Services Coordinator Jenna Black provided a very good tour of RMH, highlighting their well designed home away from home for sick kids and their families, the Magic Room, and told a few touching stories. Including the story of the young girl that was a big Taylor Swift fan, who they gave a great big Swiftie party for when she was given only a few weeks to live.
Thanks to Kyra Briske our Percy Page Rotary Interact Teacher, and Rotarian Carin Jansen van Vuuren for their help on the day, and keeping the girls focused on the tasks at hand. And the Rotary Club of Edmonton Strathcona for providing the groceries for the day. A great way to celebrate the Holiday Season and give back to the community. Making the World a Better Place.

Our club enjoyed a delicious meal and some wonderful entertainment at our Christmas Dinner which was held at Manila Grill this year.
We were also thanked by Amanda Adkins, Development Director from Kids Kottage for our donations of clothing, toys and cash. She told us that Kids Kottage provides a frontline shelter caring for children in crisis due to being homeless, in poverty or suffering trauma. The children can range in age from babies to ten years of age. Kids Kottage takes them in and tries to get them and their families the help they need.

Rosslyn Scout Leaders Amy and Russel with Amanda Adkins from Kids Kottage
We were glad to hear that the Rosslyn Scouts, upon hearing about our club’s donation to Kids Kottage, also decided to make a donation of clothing, toys and money. Their Commissioner Russell Bridgeman told us that Kids Kottage is located right in their neighbourhood and their members from Cubs all the way up to Rovers were happy to help as part of their community service initiative.
They directly dropped off several bags of new clothing. One of their Troop Scouters Chris Colby with his son (Cub) and daughter (Beaver) helped. Chris's wife Jessica Minion, our Beaver Colony contact Scouter, who works at Pet Smart, arranged the donation of 120 stuffed animals and Amy Caddell, their Troop Contact Scouter made additional $100 donation to Kids Kottage from their bottle drive.

The Rotary Interact Club of Elder Dr. Francis Whiskeyjack High School, the brand-new Southeast Edmonton high school sponsored and advised by the Rotary Club of Edmonton Strathcona, went to Ronald McDonald House for the Home For Dinner Program on December 6th.
They provided the groceries, prepared the excellent vegetarian and beef chilis , and served the dinner for the 80 to 100 residents at RMH. They had a great tour of RMH and appreciated that it is the home away from home for many families who travel to Edmonton from all over Western Canada for the excellent pediatric medical services.
The Rotary Interact Club members did a great job, and plan to visit RMH in the spring for another Home For Dinner evening. Thanks to our Rotary Interact teachers Pearl Wielki and Jorg Bauer, and our Rotary drivers for the day Vince and Ann Campbell and Ken Germain.
This new Rotary Interact Club has over 25 active members and has our Rotary Club Interact Advisors Chelsea Leach and Eric Germain to help them on their journey of making their school, community, and the world a better place, while having fun and developing friendships.
