Rotary Club of Palgrave’s Weekly Rotary Minute

“Rotary,” it seems, is not a common household topic and many people have no idea what Rotary is all about.
For this reason, it is important that every member of any Rotary Club should be spreading the word about the good that Rotary does around the world and in our own communities. Rotarians should take every opportunity to let others know about the contributions made by Rotary worldwide through various humanitarian and educational program performed by local Clubs.
Rotary Clubs worldwide are always looking for new members and it is so very important that each and every Rotarian encourages those who he or she thinks would be the type of person to embrace the ideals of Rotary and its efforts to bring some peace and joy to those who struggle in today’s crazy world.
Our club, this past year, helped such efforts locally as the Caledon Parent-Child Center, Caledon Meals on Wheels, Meaghan’s Music Room, Bethell Hospice, Family Transition Place, The Exchange, Peace Ranch, local Scouts and Girl Guides, Bolton Sea Cadets and many others. Internationally we aided Sleeping Children Around the World (with help from Palgrave Public School), Asopica (a school in Venezuela), built bathrooms for schools in Honduras, and aided in building of schools in Knysna (South Africa).
