NEW PRESIDENT MAKES THE NEWS

President Greg Lidstone of the Rotary Club of Lewiston, NY - Niagara-on-the-Lake, ON was featured in an article in Thorold News on July 18, 2020.  While the article cannot be reprinted without permission, some of what President Greg said to the newsletter reporter bears repeating, such as:
 
"Rotary is a chance to give back to the community, both locally and internationally. Rotary opens opportunities, and we are trying to bridge the gap and create better cultural understanding and dialogue between Canada and the U.S.  In a world that’s divided, Rotary is always striving to build a more positive climate."  Greg also commented that he wants to move the club in a direction to focus not so much on giving cheques/checks, but on giving time, in a basic grassroots way, such as feeding people and forming partnerships and community relationships.
