THE NUTCRACKER CHARACTERS ARE COMING TO TOWN…….

In this amazing time of worry and challenges for everyone due to our friend COVID 19, the Rotary Club of Guelph South wants to lighten up the loads and bring a holiday spirit and excitement to our town!  There are over 100 nutcracker characters just waiting for their appearance and time to find a wonderful new home to adorn your homes and make smiles on you and your loved ones’ faces this holiday season. This collection has been collected for over 30 years with love and gratitude for the joy they have brought to a family and friends during the holiday season and honestly throughout the entire year!  Rotary Club of Guelph South is bringing these lively characters to you in the hope you will not only enjoy them but also help Rotary raise funds to support our local and international charities!

J.O.E.(Jobs-Opportunities-Enterprise) is a registered charity based in Guelph, Ontario, focused on innovative, community-based employment and job-training for adults with developmental disabilities.

J.O.E. started with eight young adults and their families.  They all shared one goal – employment in the community.  In 2013, they pitched a tent in a parking lot and launched their first pop-up café in partnership with Planet Bean Coffee.

J.O.E. operates three Coffee Nooks in Guelph – at the Downtown Public Library, at Guelph Medical Place, and at Westminster Medical centre.  They also run pop-up cafés at special events in the Guelph community.  

The regular morning meeting is cancelled and replaced by this virtual evening get-together.

This week, Matt Anstett, a fellow Rotarian, will give us an update on the new "Rotary Passport Club".

The Nature Conservancy of Canada (NCC) is Canada's leading national land conservation organization.  As a private, non-profit organization, it partners with individuals, corporations, foundations, Indigenous communities and other non-profit organizations and governments at all levels to protect Canada’s most important natural treasures - the natural areas that sustain Canada’s plants and wildlife.  They secure properties (through donation, purchase, conservation agreement and the relinquishment of other legal interests in land) and manage them for the long term.

Since 1962, NCC and its partners have helped to protect 14 million hectares (35 million acres), coast to coast to coast.
