Updates on Club Activities
Rotary Club of the Year!
The Rotary Club of Edmonton Whyte Avenue is honored to have won the award for Rotary Club of the Year at the Vision 2020 Virtual District Conference. Congratulations to all of the club members and last year's executive team on this outstanding achievement! Read the district newsletter for more information about the award.
Terra Centre
This past Tuesday, the Rotary Club of Edmonton Whyte Avenue was joined by Karen Mottershead, Executive Director of the Terra Centre. Terra is a non-profit organization that provides supports and services that empower teen parents to succeed. Karen shared with us about the work that Terra does, such as partnering with Edmonton Public Schools at Braemar School for more than 20 years to support student parents completing their high school diploma. Through multiple on-site services, students can concentrate on both their studies and their new role as a parent.
Karen also shared how Terra is coping with COVID and how they are trying an online improv fundraiser called Laughs over Lunch. Sounds like a great way to support Terra and have some fun!

KIVA Microfinance Loans
One of Rotary International’s six area’s of focus is growing local economies by “strengthening local entrepreneurs and community leaders, particularly women, in impoverished communities.” The Rotary Club of Whyte Avenue is working on this area of focus by providing microloans through kiva.org.
