Rotary Works with Veterans

The Rotary Club of Alliston is proud of our local veterans and to help recognize their contributions the club has recently donated to two memorials in the greater Alliston area. Our Club donated $500 to help build the Peacekeepers Memorial Wall outside Base Borden in Angus. The wall list the peacekeepers who gave their lives to protect us during Canada's participation in the last five wars.Peacekeeper Wall

Rotarians Carole Jones and Patricia Middlebrook are shown here with with Mr. Fern Taillefer who is chairman of the United Nations Peacekeepers Committee.

 

The club also donated $1500 towards the new Alliston Cenotaph.  This donation will help purchase a stone bench that will allow people to sit and appreciate the new memorial on Albert St. The clubs donation was also supplemented by $75 collected at the Alliston Community Christian School at their recent Remembrance Day Service.
