Allison Hess, Education and Engagement Manager - Thousand Islands Playhouse, provided members an interesting overview of the extensive Thousand Islands Playhouse Education and Engagement programming.  With much enthusiasm, she outlined behind the scene activities related to Youth Camps, such as, the PA Day Camp and Summer Camp, along with the Playhouse's Young Company learning opportunities.  It is evident from the video testimonials that were shown during the presentation that the participants value the skills and knowledge that they take away with them at the end of each session.  In the photo above, Rotarian Tom Harrington (right) and Club President Alfred O'Rourke (left) extended the Club's thanks to Allison (middle) for her informative presentation.  The Guest Speaker book presented in recognition of Allison's presentation will be donated to the St. John Bosco Elementary School Library on her behalf.  
 
 
George Tierney (standing) was the guest speaker at the January 27, 2025 meeting.  He spoke about playing music and giving back to communities.  He lauded Brockville as being very unique and strong in the music field with more accomplished musicians per capita than anywhere else.  He particularly promoted the benefits of live music.  At any given time, there are 7 or 8 venues where one can hear live music, primarily free of charge.  He encouraged the audience to take the plunge and get out to witness this great talent base we have locally and show them your support.
 
 
The Rotary Club of Brockville received a presentation by Collen and Pipsi at QueenCare.  Their mission is to support women through pregnancy and post-partum.  Their team is small, determined, and has been made resilient by the experiences that can only come through the wild adventure of raising children.  It is the desire of QueenCare to educate, equip, and encourage other women in their own version of this shared experience.  Services offered to all at no cost.  This is a charitable organization working on behalf of mothers, and fills a gap in the health care system.  They provide: prenatal education; post partum support; birthing and self-care kits; peer support; a resource hub; lending library; maternity closet; and support for pregnancy and infant loss at any stage.
In the photo above, President Alfred O'Rourke presents the thanks of the Club to the QueenCare representatives.
 
 
Brockville Mayor Matt Wren continued the long-standing tradition of addressing the local Rotary Clubs.  This year Mayor Wren provided a very informative overview of the many positive community-building initiatives that are underway within Brockville and area.  His State of the City address prompted much discussion and it looks like it's going to be a good year ahead!  
Presenting the thanks of the Clubs are Andrew Kizell (left), President of the Rotary Club of the 1000 Islands, and Bruce Leslie, Secretary of the Rotary Club of Brockville (right).  The book presented to Mayor Wren (middle) will be provided to the School Library at St. John Bosco Elementary School in recognition of the Mayor's visit.
