Speakers

Each year we enjoy donating enough contents to complete 10 gift bags for Chalmers Community Services Centre's Christmas Gift Bag Campaign.  This year is no different!

With a goal of collecting 800 gift bags filled with basic items for people in need, the charitable organization received an unprecedented response, taking in 831 gift bags in 2017 — almost 200 more than were received in 2016.

We'll use this meeting to sort all of the donated goods and assemble the gift bags, so that they can be delivered to Chalmers.

Our Mission:
Pollination Guelph is a group of individuals dedicated to the conservation and development of pollinator habitat for current and future generations. We promote awareness and understanding of the role of pollinators in achieving local and global environmental sustainability goals and showcase pollinator projects that are a model for citizens and communities throughout Canada and internationally.  We are a charitable, federally incorporated non-profit organization. A volunteer Board of Directors guides our activities and manages the organization.  We have no paid staff and rely on the work of volunteers to achieve our goals.

Our Vision:  
Guelph is a world model for the promotion and protection of pollinators and their habitat – leading the way in environmental sustainability.  

We always look forward to these Classification Talks, where members have an opportunity to hear from another member about their life, their vocation and how they came to be Rotarians.  This week Linda Craig provides us with this valuable insight into her life.

As we prepare to mark the holiday season, we'll use this meeting to celebrate Christmas with our "Rotary Family". 

We'll be withdrawing the next 2 meetings and will be back at Springfield for regular weekly meetings as of January 10, 2019.

In Rotary our priorities are FAMILY, WORK and then ROTARY.  We'll take this week off to take care of our primary priority, and enjoy our families during this holiday period between Christmas and New Year's.
