Last week...a great presentation from Dr. Suzanne Squires, a local Family Physician, about Domestic Violence.  Mental Health is all a part of the picture.  Very disturbing figures about domestic violence in the region.

 

 

 

 

 

 

I think we may all know this picture of our Amarok School in Bangladesh.   A reminder that the Rotary Club of Spruce Grove and community raised over $29 500.00 in our most recent Lobsterfest Cash Appeal for Amarok.   The International Committee is looking at a plan to support other clubs with the establishment of support for a school by having 3 Rotary Clubs partnering to support 1 school.  We are intending to provide small seeding funding to support these groups of clubs to get going.  We are currently discussing with the Rotary Clubs of Stony Plain and Parkland after Dark to partner with us.  If this proceeds then it will represent an example of the plan for other groups of clubs.  We have the potential to increase the number of Amarok Schools by 7 and also multiply the communities donations by that number as well.  That is our community money could be multiplied by about 7 if the plan is maximized.

 

Recently I received the following from Tanyss and Amarok.  Very interesting stories about the effect our school is making.
