Sowing Seeds of Service: Rotary & the Carp Fair
For over 150 years, the Carp Fair has been more than just a celebration of agriculture; it’s a community tradition that connects people across generations. Similarly, the Rotary Club of Kanata is committed to bringing people together through service, fostering unity and purpose both locally and globally. What connects them is a shared mission: creating spaces where people can come together, celebrate community, and make a lasting impact. Kathleen Vermeer, a long-time resident of Carp and dedicated community member, embodies this sense of community. Her story is rooted in service, dedication, and an unwavering belief in the power of community. As a proud member of the Rotary Club of Kanata, she has expanded her service, and works tirelessly to amplify impact, particularly with local youth, in Kanata, Carp, and beyond. Thank you Kathleen for taking the time for a quick ROK Q&A! |
