After a two-week collection period, we were more than pleasantly surprised by the number of products that we were able to gather, repack, and send out for local community distribution. From 11 collection points in 5 communities, we gathered up no less than an estimated $7,000 - $8,000 worth of product for passage onto 7 different distribution points.
What a great day we had! Mindful of the pandemic limitations, we felt safe in our work and very satisfied with the success of our outcome. We even had Governor Frank Adamson drive down from Fonthill to be with us and to help with our aim to 'Act' in the community. Well done to all.
On October 3, 2020, a bright Saturday morning, about 30 masked Rotarians gathered outside in the Simcoe Salvation Army parking lot to complete their third annual Rotary Day of Action; a community event where our three local Rotary Clubs (Area #1, Norfolk Sunrise, Simcoe and Delhi) come together in support of a pre-selected, local community need.
