Speakers

Our regular morning meeting will not be held - instead we'll meet in person at Sunrise Therapeutic Riding & Learning Centre (5:30pm to 7:00pm) for a wine and cheese social, in order to wish bon voyage to Linda Craig who is moving to Calgary in October to be closer to family.  She will still be a member but this may be our last opportunity to be with her, in person, for a while!  

We will not be having our regular Thursday morning meeting this week.  Instead we will join the Guelph-Trillium club on Wednesday October 19th in the morning at Guelph City Hall for the "End Polio Now" flag raising in support of World Polio Day (October 24th).

Kim is Executive Director of PIN.  The People and Information Network (PIN) is a non-profit organization providing programs and services in Guelph and Wellington. The focus of our work is to help people engage in their community in a way that is meaningful to them.

With the support of and in partnership with Rotary, Amarok Society (see www.amaroksociety.org), is accomplishing something extraordinary for world education and world peace: They go into what may be the worst slums on earth, in Bangladesh and Pakistan, to teach extremely poor girls and boys by teaching their mothers to become neighborhood teachers. By this means they are able to educate great numbers of children at very low cost - overcoming barriers to women’s and girls’ education. Dr. Tanyss Munro, co-founder with Gem Munro of Amarok Society, is pleased to have the opportunity to speak again to the Rotary Club of Guelph South, as an update on the progress they've seen since their last visit to our club in April 2016.

Griefwalk is a local non-profit organization that supports individuals facing life changing losses.

Griefwalk provides a safe space and haven where healing can be fostered, nurtured and encouraged.

This meeting will be organized by the Service Projects committee - representatives of organizations receiving donations will be invited to attend and speak about their organization and how the funds could be used.
