ANCASTER YE STUDENTS HELP RAISE $2162
Each year the Ancaster Rotary Club has the International Student Exchange participants from the two Ancaster Rotary Clubs ride as our ‘float’ in the annual Ancaster Heritage Days Parade. Along with the convertible featuring our students, volunteers from the Ancaster Rotary Club and friends of Rotary walk the parade route collecting donations from the parade viewers. This year over $2162 were collected. The money is donated to the Heritage Days Committee to help fund the parade for the coming year (2016).
This is a great way to showcase one of Rotary’s most well-known programs while also raising charitable dollars for investment into our local community. Over the past ten years over $20,000 has been raised by this program.
