Rotary Year in Review
Posted by Mary Stark
It has been another busy year for our small club! We started the year with the Shoreline Clean Up, had a visit from our Sister Club in Japan, did a new club brochure and promotional video, had a Pasta for Polio fundraising dinner, visited Fraser Academy to see how they teach children with dyslexia, hosted the Group Study Exchange Team, had a fundraising concert with Holly Arntsen, and supported a school in Zihautenejo, Mexico. We did projects totally $29,522 - Agape - street youth, Sleep with the Whales, Voices of Nature, School Bursaries, Covenant House, Young Naturalists, sent a Rotaractor to Pets, Kits Shower program, CALS, Academy of Music, Megaphone Magazine, Learning Disabilities, and donated to Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis research. Next year will be much more challenging and projects will depend on our funding from Gaming. This year we donated $1632 to Polio eradication and over $3200 to the Annual Programs fund with Rotary International.
