COMMUNITY BENEFITS

The Rotary Satellite Club of Paris (sponsored by the Rotary Club of Brantford-Sunrise) hosted The Inaugural Priceless Art Auction at the Wincey Mills in Paris on January 27. Over $7,000 worth of art was auctioned off – and rather than bidding money, participants bid their time. The event raised over $1,600 and generated 245 service hours toward initiatives that will benefit the community of Brant County.
 
 

WALK-IN FREEZER HELPS WITH EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES

Thanks to a District 7090 project grant from the Rotary Foundation, the Rotary Club of Brantford-Sunrise was pleased to contribute $5,000 toward a new walk-in freezer for the Raw Carrot Soup Enterprise.
 
Operating out of Paris Presbyterian Church, the Raw Carrot is a social, non-profit organization, whose mission is to provide meaningful employment to individuals on social assistance who can and want to work.
