Swim for Polio 

Rotary International is closing in on the goal of eliminating Polio world wide, however the task is not yet complete.

On August 19th 2018, the Rotary Club of Truro will hold its 5th annual swim across Shortts Lake.  Members and friends will gather pledges to support those who swim.  Donations go to the Rotary Foundation and, after being matched by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, are used in continuing the battle to eliminate this dreaded disease. 

We also need swimmers.  All welcome!  Contact Laurie (Laurie.Sandeson@novascotia.ca) or Lydia (lsorflaten@hotmail.com) for details.

Special Note to Rotarians before making a donation:  Be sure to hit the "Sign In/Register" button at the top of the donation page and login to "My Rotary" (do NOT use Facebook or Google to login) before making a contribution.  This ensures that your donation will count toward your Paul Harris recognition.  IPad users should use "Desktop View" for best viewing.

Non-Rotarians may just hit the "Contribute Now" button and proceed with a donation through PayPal or with a credit card. 

Please support our swimmers by making a donation now!  Click the "Donate Now" button below to go to the donation page.

As a result of a visit to Ulaanbaatar, the capital of Mongolia by our travelling Rotarian Dr. Kevin Quinlan, the Rotary Club of Truro has supported a project that a Rotary club there has started.
 
The project is to set up schools in the Ger (traditional tents) community for young children who have to stay home to tend the fires in the tents while their families are away.

Jim Retson from the Rotary Club of Kenora joined us for our June 18th meeting. He shared with us that his club has about 70 members, 35% - 40% of which are women. He went on to share that his club's last three presidents were also female.
 
The Rotary Club of Kenora contributes $10,000 annually to Shelterbox https://www.shelterboxcanada.org/ as well as $10,000 annually towards building new schools in Guatemala.

It is always interesting to have visiting Rotarians. It gives us the opportunity to hear first hand what other clubs are doing. Thanks for joining us Jim!
New Rotarian joins our Club
Posted by Anna Rutherford on Jun 18, 2018

We are pleased to welcome Al Cooze as the Club's newest Rotarian. Al was recruited by Ken MacLean, who had a hunch in church one Sunday, turned around and saw Al and simply asked, "would you like to join Rotary", to which Al simply replied, "yes".

Al recently moved to Truro from NFLD, with his wife. He enjoys travel, golf, and music. We've been told he'll play any brass instrument he can get his hands on! We are hoping Al will play some Christmas Carols on the piano at our Christmas Party. 

Al has already helped with service work.  He has been active with other service groups such as Kinsman and the Alzheimer's Society. Before he retired, he was the General Manager for Zellars.

Al is excited to be a part of our Club and get involved in the community and we are excited to have him.
