HAMILTON LIGHTS UP FOR POLIO

The Rotary Club of Hamilton was proud to work with the City of Hamilton to have the HAMILTON sign light up in the colours of POLIO for World Polio Day. The Rotary Club of Hamilton invited Rotarians from all Clubs to join them in front of the sign for a photo that would be used for a social media campaign encouraging people and Rotarians to support the End Polio Campaign. Special thanks to Club President Heather Moroz and Rotarian Christopher Cutler for organizing this event. The sign lighting was well received by our members and we welcomed Rotarians from the Rotary Clubs of Stoney Creek, and Hamilton AM.  The Rotary Exchange Student also attended the World Polio Day event.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

A NEW FORMAT FOR VOCATIONAL VISITS

 
The Rotary Club of Hamilton hosted its vocational visit this month at Hamilton Municipal Cemetery. The visit took place as an evening meeting and included a historical walking tour with Hamilton’s historian Robin McKee of the historic Hamilton Cemetery.
 
Rotarian Alex Moroz who is the Family Services Coordinator spoke about operations of the City’s 70 cemeteries and new trends in the death care industry. Alex also provided a tour of the Gate House and the cemetery’s records vault which hold burial records dating back over 100 years. It was an enjoyable, casual evening meeting with food and refreshments to follow the tours.
 
The vocational visits allow Rotarians and Guests to visit the workplace of a Rotarian. Rather than the traditional vocational talk at Rotary, Rotary goes to the workplace and tours the facility and gets to understand the Rotarian's vocation through a more in-depth look. The Rotary Club of Hamilton holds several vocational visits throughout the Rotary year.
