In partnership with the Hanover School Division, the RCMP, and our sponsors, we heard from students firsthand on the impact of this program, as well as from keynote Addictions Counsellor and TEDx Winnipeg speaker Aleethia Mackay on how we can support our youth to say NO to drugs.Thank you to all of you who were able to attend the event, and for your ongoing support of this critical program.

Rob was highly active in sports as a child, playing hockey in the winters and baseball in the summers. He fondly recalls...... |

South Eastman Rotary heard from Executive Director of Red Rock Bible Camp Chris Marchand at their first meeting of 2019. Chris' experience in the social justice system as a young offender took him down a dangerous path.

 Steinbach Chamber of Commerce President Kent Ledingham attended a recent Rotary meeting to explain the Chamber's history and role in our community.
The mission of the local Chamber of Commerce is to unite and represent Steinbach and area businesses in the belief that the resulting economic growth and stability provides an enhanced quality of life for residents here. That's according to Kent Ledingham, who took time out of his busy schedule to talk to Rotarians recently.
Ledingham informed South Eastman Rotary members about the different committees of the chamber and how they work together to provide the business community with a way to connect with each other and the community, educate employees and employers and advocate for a business community locally, provincially and federally.
Another highlight of the luncheon was the answer to the question ''Why does someone join the chamber?'' Ledingham explains it's different for everyone but key reasons include member to member programs, networking opportunities and community involvement and support.
Thank You Kent! Rotarians look forward to working more with the Chamber in the near future and years to come.
