Congratulations to all! You will receive your pin and certificate at a time that we can get together. There are two possible occasions coming up – the camp Sonshine clean-up on May 4, and the Foundation Walk in Kingston on May 11. Let me know which one you are attending.

Camp Cleanup
Like most of you I have been waiting for winter to go away.
When we last met, we talked about the possibility of doing a one-day project at Sonshine Cove. The camp for individuals with special needs is 120 km north of Ottawa in Quebec. We have been waiting for the snow to go (usually by early April, we still have several feet). We think that by Saturday May 4th we should be able to do our spring cleanup. This involves cleaning inside (windows, appliances etc.), outside cleaning and raking the grass, beach area -picking up things that have arrived over the winter. Depending on the skills of those attending there could be some minor repairs.
We would spend the day, or if you want to come Friday and spend the night that can be arranged. Let me know if you are interested and available as soon as possible. Further planning can be done when we know who is coming. (By Len Goddard)
May is
Rotary International's Youth Service Month! During this special month, Rotarians and young members of the Rotary family, including Interactors, Rotaractors, and RYLA and Rotary Youth Exchange participants, are encouraged to develop meaningful connections that last throughout the year. With our new Interact Club, what a wonderful way to start this month!
Want to get more involved in Youth Service Month but not sure how to start?
1. Plan a joint service project with Rotarians and young leaders in your community.
2. Fundraise to support initiatives that develop young leaders.
Back to the Future
As a video creator specializing in storytelling, I want to create a video about our club, for your use online and in-person. it may help raise funds too. Early in the new Rotary year I’ll share a basic storyboard (or plan of the video) for your review and input. With your assistance it’ll help us reach Club goals and raise awareness. Till next week...
