Thank you! Sooke Rotary Auction & Spring Fair
THANKS TO YOU our 20th Annual Auction & Spring Fair was a huge success.
Your generous donations, keen bidding and enthusiastic participation will make it possible for the Rotary Club of Sooke to fund many more projects in the year to come.
Many people ask what Rotary does in the local community and in the world. Some of our projects are well known and others have a lower profile but they all make a big difference.
COMMUNITY projects include grants to tireless local community non-profits, a
playground shelter at CASA, a gazebo at Ayre Manor, and the Rotary Pier. Rotary also provides discreet, exceptional assistance associated with family crisis or emergency.
YOUTH are sponsored to attend local, provincial, national and international leadership and career training events. Ongoing bursaries support promising graduates. Rotary also sponsors the annual Skate Jam, supports the Sooke Youth Council, and most recently the SEAPARC Youth Bus.
In the WORLD Rotarians support international projects like a girls' school in Malawi, worldwide immediate disaster relief through Shelterbox, water projects and the global effort to eradicate polio.
