There are so many reasons to love Rotary right now!
For Rotarians, we know it inherently — for those of you that aren’t (yet) Rotarians, let us share with you some of the reasons why:
1. We’re “this close” to eradicating polio . . . and each of us wants to be part of it when we do.
2. We are connected to people — around the world — who take action and make wonderful things happen.
3. Rotary Foundation turns 100-years-strong next year with more than $3 billion spent on programs and projects around the world in that time.
4. Membership is evolving and becoming more flexible as lives change and time becomes a precious commodity.
5. Science says Rotarians (aka those who volunteer) are healthier and happier (Gallup-Healthways Well-Being Index).
6. Our work to support peace and end conflict is making the world a better place — one person at a time.
7. Locally, in Caledon, we support our community organizations including (but not limited to) Caledon Parent-Child Centre, Caledon Meals on Wheels, Scouts and Girl Guides, Family Transition Place, Bethell Hospice, the Vera Davis Centre, White Birch Adult Day Program, Caledon Community Kitchen . . .
And we could go on and on . . .
