UKRAINIAN CHRISTMAS PROJECT FAIRFOR YOUR INFORMATION Oromocto Rotary Club has taken on a project with the Rotary e-Club of Ukraine to rebuild a school that was bombed in the Ukraine. As we support Oromocto Rotary Club in that endeavour, it will be helpful to learn more about Rotary efforts in the Ukraine. On December 16, the e-club is holding a Ukrainian Christmas Project Fair. Our Rotary International Leadership Team will join the Ukraine Rotary District 2232 Coordination Committee as they introduce us to the Rotary team and the priorities they have established for supporting and rebuilding Ukraine. There will be a plenary session followed by three breakout sessions: Equipment & Supplies: Help for People; and Recovery, Rehabilitation. Find a Partner for Your Project is a separate session that follows. This will be an early morning session for us starting at 5:45 am in the morning and ending at 9:00 am AT (will confirm times closer to the event). It would be helpful to have at least 2 of us in each breakout session. If you are interested in attending, please follow their link to register; fill out their profile form and share your picture and information with the team. Please contact me to let me know so we can coordinate which breakout room each of us will be in. Let me know if you would be interested in getting together with some Rotarians and Toastmasters on Zoom to discuss other ways we may support Oromocto Rotary in their project in the Ukraine.

A Toast to Paul HarrisWe wish to make a Toast to Paul Harris and his colleagues and the organization they founded, Rotary International. Rotary International brings together more than 35000 Rotary Clubs that create a global network of 1.2 million neighbors, friends, leaders, and problem-solvers who see a world where people unite and take action to create lasting change – across the globe, in our communities, and in ourselves. We can point to examples such as Polio Plus where Rotary members have contributed more than $2.1 billion and countless volunteer hours to protect nearly 3 billion children in 122 countries from this paralyzing disease. Rotary’s advocacy efforts have played a role in decisions by governments to contribute more than $10 billion to the effort. To conclude this toast, I offer a quote from Paul Harris shortly after RI’s founding: Whatever Rotary may mean to us, to the world it will be known by the results it achieves. Words that have proven to be so prophetic today! Please join me in a toast to Rotary International: TO ROTARY INTERNATIONAL! ____________________________________________________________________________ |

End Polio Now Tulip CampaignOur Rotary District 7810 is again offering boxes of 25 tulip bulbs for sale to raise funds to support Rotary International in its goal to End Polio Now. Boxes of tulip bulbs are available to purchase for $25 each. Of this, $14 goes to fund the End Polio Now campaign. Members may place orders immediately by emailing Terry MacDonald at: tmacd200@gmail.com. We are setting the deadline for orders from our club for Friday, July 17. The district will accept orders up to July 31, but they are limited in that they only have 1500 boxes for the entire district, so we want to get our order in early to ensure delivery. Rotarians may order boxes to sell if they wish. The district has promotional material to help you with this. Or you may wish to purchase boxes for your personal use or donation. The district goal is to sell 1,500 boxes of End Polio Now Tulip bulbs, resulting in a profit of $21,000 ($14 per box). All orders must be paid in full by July 31. Payment is to be made to our club. The club will place one order with the district on July 17 and pay for this order by July 31. The tulip bulbs will be delivered to the club in late September. Should you have any questions please email me at: brianallandingle@gmail.com, or call me at: 506-471-1575. We will be reminding all members of this at our weekly meetings from now to July 16. Thank you very much for supporting Rotary International in its efforts to End Polio Now. __________________________________________________________________________ |

Community rallies....to support families of Nashwaaksis Memorial The global pandemic might have closed New Brunswick schools, but the community around Fredericton's Nashwaaksis Elementary has stepped up to make sure the students who counted on meals provided at the school don't go hungry. Before schools were closed March 13th, students in need were able to grab a bowl of cereal, some fresh fruit or a slice of toastwhen they got to class. And, once a week, the Fredericton North Rotary Club offered a hot breakfast. The Fredericton Community Kitchen provided lunch to those who needed it. When the school closed, principal Alex Yaychuk took a poll of families to see if they were still looking for help. "They said they'd like some help. So since the first week schools have been closed, we've been delivering food to those families,' he said. Every Friday, Yaychuk and his vice-principal and MLA Stephen Horseman collect bags of groceries from the Fredericton Community Kitchen and they make the deliveries to 19 homes in the community. Once other community partners heard about the efforts, they began making donations as well, he said. "It's really snowballed into a beautiful community outreach effort for families." Hundreds of dollars have been donated, he said. The Fredericton North Rotary Club has also been pitching in, running a weekly food drive from a member's garage. Instant Imprints, a business on Brookside Drive, donated $500 for grocery gift cards, and similar donation came in from the Atlantic Superstore on the city's north side, he said. Some employees from the City of Fredericton 911 dispatch centre collected money and then filled gift bags with pens, pencils, crayons, books, and craft supplies. And members of the Douglas Baptist Church have donated food and school supplies, said Yakchuk. "Every week, these families, who most days struggle to put food on the table for their children, are now being supplied with all kinds of healthy foods, snacks, fruits, and bread. There's canned goods, and boxed goods. We've had egg donations, cheese donations. Just about everything you'd put on your grocery list," he said. "It's been one of the few bright spots over the course of the last few months."
