As part of RI President Riseley's tree challenge, each club around the world was tasked with planting one tree per member this year. We are pleased to be partnering with the local Scouts Canada troops to plant trees at the old Truro dump. A big Thank You! to Audrie-Jo for arranging this activity! Details are: Date: Saturday, May 5 Time: 9:00-11:00am Park and walk in past the gate and leaf pile. Make sure to wear boots as it can be soggy! The Department of Natural Resources are donating the trees and they have set aside 2,000 trees for us so we’ll have plenty to do! For those with bad backs we can always pair up with little beavers so they do all the bending. I look forward to seeing lots of Rotarians there! Alana |

Chair - Jim Goit PM meeting Dr. Ewing was awarded a Peacekeeping Award. She will share her story!
May 14, 2018 5:00 p.m.
Dr. Ewing is a proud Newfoundlander by birth and a Family Physician by trade. In life her time is spent pursuing humanitarian causes. The cause which you will hear about is Peace. After a trip to the western front tracing the steps of The Royal Newfoundland Regiment, Dr. Ewing returned with a devastating appreciation of the sacrifices there offered. The Veterans Memorial Park in Bass River was designed and created by Dr. Ewing as a living memorial. The Park is made up of three gardens: the Garden of Sorrows, a stylized recreation of a WWI trench; the Garden of Remembrance which now houses 800 names of Veterans and serving members of conflict; and the Garden of Hope, a colourful, vibrant and peaceful international garden. The park houses the Forgotten Heroes Monument for the animals of war, the only one of its kind in Canada. Dr. Ewing's assertion is that we are not made for war despite the history of the world reading as a war chronicle. This we can and must overcome. For her efforts, Dr. Ewing has received a Veterans Affairs Commendation; the outstanding service award from the Retired United Nations Veterans Association; the YMCA Peace Medal and most recently, the Shirley Farlinger Award for Peace Writing from The Canadian Voice of Women. |

Join us as we show our Pride in the parade next Saturday, July 14. We will once again be joining the Dal AC crew on their float (i.e. hay trailer and tractor!) as we party through the streets of Truro. The parade starts at 2:00pm and runs for about an hour, starting at the Colchester Legion Stadium parking lot, and ending at Civic Square. If you plan to participate on the float or walking beside it, please register now so we know numbers. You will have to choose to walk or ride, it is too dangerous to get on and off while the parade is in motion. Those people walking may hand out candy; it is not to be thrown from the float. You must be on the float and ready to go by 1:00pm on Saturday. For more information on the parade, please see their Facebook event, https://www.facebook.com/events/1614809175299616. I've got my rainbow tutu fluffed up and ready to go. Hope to see you there! |

Calling all swimmers...... We are organizing a 5th "Swim for Polio" at Shortt's Lake on Sunday, August 19th at 9:30 am. It is hard to believe, but in the 4 years that we have been doing the Swim for Polio, we have contributed over $15,000 to the cause. Specifically, in 2016, we raised $1400. When matched 2-1 by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation this becomes $4200! 2015 we raised $3000. When matched with Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation this amounted to $9000! 2014 we raised $825 became $2475. All this equals $15,675. This year, swimmers can join the group on Sunday, August 19th 2018 at 9:30 am so they can do their swim. On Aug 19th, Richard Bowness will take swimmers across the lake and accompany them back. (Meet at Bowness' a little before 9:30 am). You can be on the boat as a spotter if you are not swimming.
