The Skills Society provides support services to children and adults with developmental disabilities, survivors of acquired brain injury, and their families. Your donations will go towards holiday stockings for people supported by their Outreach Program.
Donations will go towards stocking stuffers such as:
Chocolates or other holiday treats (candy canes, mints, etc.);
Clothing (socks and underwear or winter gear such as mitts and toques);
Christmas or holiday related items (Christmas tree decorations, etc.)
How to donate: PLEASE NOTE THAT WE HAVE CHANGED THIS PROCESS - We would prefer monetary donations so that we can bulk purchase stocking stuffers. If you would like to make a monetary donation, please keep en eye out for an email that wil be coming very shortly as to how to do this. Please DO NOT etransfer Paige.
If you would prefer to make a cash donation, or have items to donate to the stockings, please email Kristin or Paige to arrange a drop-off.
When is it needed by? It would be appreciated if we can have all the donations by Saturday December 4th.
Thank you.

Two New Committees
I wanted to announce that I will be forming two new committees.
1. A Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Committee - Everyone who engages with Rotary — no matter who they are, where they are in the world, or how long they have been connected with Rotary — should feel valued, respected, and welcomed. These ideals reflect what current and prospective members want and expect from their Rotary experience: respect, ethical leadership, inclusion, and the opportunity to work together to create more just, open, and welcoming communities for all people.
Diversity has long been one of Rotary's core values and continues to serve as a foundation for how we interact with each other and our communities. But we know there is more for us to learn and do in order to ensure that our organizational culture reflects and exemplifies DEI in all ways.
2. A Land Acknowledgement Committee – to create our Club’s Land Acknowledgment
If you have any interest in being part of these new committees, please let me know at ksysak@shaw.ca
