The Guelph Rotaract Club invites all Guelph South members to join them at their February 27th meeting. Appetizers will be provided, you buy your own beverages! The Rotaractors need to advise the pub of the numbers that might be attending for that meeting, so please indicate if you will, or will not, be attending, so that we can let them know as soon as possible. Members have attended these in previous years and say they're a blast, so think about attending if you have never. These students do an amazing amount of good in the community, considering what are undoubtedly crushing university/study schedules. Let's support them as they've always supported us! |

Water Ambassadors Canada
Mar. 15, 2018
In 2002, retired teachers Barry Hart and Heather Alloway heard a presentation about the desperate need for clean water around the world. Within a year they found themselves in a poor village in Guatemala with a team of like-minded people, drilling a well. Their passion grew from that experience and they founded LWI Canada which is now known as Water Ambassadors Canada (WAC). Since then, hundreds of teams from across Canada have travelled to Central America, the Caribbean, Uganda, DR Congo, and Colombia to provide clean water solutions to those without. Water Ambassadors Canada is a faith based, non profit, registered Canadian charity. We take Canadian teams to drill and repair wells, set up water purification systems, distribute water filters, and teach health and hygiene. |

We, as a community, know the importance of charities and other non-profit organizations and what they give to the people within our Community. Within each charity or non-profit is a group of volunteers that is responsible for much of the charity's success. These are the tireless individuals that provide support, skills, talents, and abilities to give someone hope and strength and the courage to face another day. They do not ask for accolades; they give their time generously without any expectation of reward. The Rotary Club of Guelph South is pleased and excited to announce the 3rd Annual Volunteer Appreciation Brunch at Cutten Fields. This will be an event to recognize 100 of the tireless volunteers within 10 selected charities or non-profits throughout Guelph and Wellington County. In addition, we will be providing donations to the selected charities as a thank you for everything that they give to those in need. We look forward to honouring those volunteers at this time of appreciation! |

FOOD4KIDS for Guelph/Wellington/Dufferin
Apr. 26, 2018
In Guelph-Wellington it’s estimated (and acknowledged by our local school boards) that 1,500 to 1,800 children in our local schools experience food insecurity in their homes – marginal, moderate or severe. Food insecurity refers to inadequate or insecure access to food due to financial constraints. Food4Kids Waterloo-Wellington provides packages of healthy food for kids aged 14 years and under with limited or no access to food each weekend. Packages of healthy food are prepared by volunteers and delivered to schools each Friday to ensure children have nourishment over the weekend. The four Guelph Rotary clubs, together with The SEED, have formed a steering committee to bring Food4Kids to Guelph-Wellington-Dufferin. All four clubs have provided startup funding and The SEED is providing free space, purchasing power and logistics management. Note: The SEED is a community food project of the Guelph CHC, a collaborative initiative of community partners in Guelph & Wellington with the shared vision of strengthening the local emergency food system, using the power of food to build healthy communities and addressing the underlying issues of food insecurity and poverty. Tom Armitage (The SEED) is Distribution Co-ordinator, Garden Fresh Box Co-ordinator |

Best Version Media
May 03, 2018
Leah DeSpiegelaere (pronouced “Duh-Spee-Gler”) came to Guelph back in 2000 to complete her Bachelor of Commerce in Marketing. After graduation she spent 7 years in Arts Administration helping theatres and orchestras sell subscription series tickets then moved on to corporate retail working for Cadillac Fairview shopping centres for another 6. Through the career transitions with different companies, Leah always found great joy in the connections that she made with and for the individuals that she encountered. And that is what she loves the most about the neighbourhood magazines she is currently producing … having the ability to connect residents in neighbourhoods with each other and with the local businesses that surround them. In addition to the Guelph publications, Best Version Media magazines serve over 500 neighbourhoods in North America, 100 of which are in Canada. So, though Leah’s day-to-day work is extremely local, she does have the support of a larger organization behind her. When you get your hands on the publication I’m sure you will think “Yes Leah, it is a magazine. I have seen a magazine it feels like a magazine and I’m sure it works just like a magazine.” But today she will be sharing with us the many reasons why it is so different than what you have seen before. |

Youth Days of Action

Christine Oldfield is Executive Director of PIN (formerly Volunteer Centre of Guelph-Wellington) and will speak on the new special initiative they are launching called "Youth Days of Action". It involves taking bus loads of students (25-50) to a local nonprofit or charity, to learn about what they do and to participate in a group volunteer activity. Examples of group activities might be tree planting, sorting food at a food bank, yard work at Guelph/Wellington Women in Crisis etc. The target audience of this initiative are students who are at risk of not graduating because of failure to meet the community service hours requirement. The goal of the program is 3-fold:

Jun. 19, 2018 6:00 p.m. - 9:00 p.m.
July 1st marks the start of the new Rotary year, and every year many Rotary clubs hold get-togethers to celebrate the year just concluded while welcoming the new Rotary year. As well, July 31st marks the 17th anniversary of our Club's chartering. This year Celia & Peter Clark have offered to host the event at their home. It has been held there before, and a popular option was having each guest contribute $10.00 towards the event which covers the costs associated with the main course (steaks, chicken) to be barbecued and served, then each guest is invited if they wish to bring something "pot luck style" eg. a salad or dessert. Please mark this date in your calendar - it is always a fun event! Spouses and partners are always invited, it's an opportunity for relaxed fellowship. An extra special bonus for this year's event is that one of our members is getting married on July 7th! Karen Dowell and fiance Bob Curtis have already confirmed that they will be able to attend, and we'll use the event as well as an opportunity to celebrate their upcoming nuptials. So that we can plan the necessary shopping and other preparations, your indication as soon as possible as to whether you will or will not be able to attend is requested. Watch emails for further details as they become available.... |
