A DAY AT THE RACES

On Sunday July 30th, the Rotary Club of Niagara Falls, ON launched a brand new Rotary event to raise funds for the new YWCA shelter home for families.  The local chapter of the YWCA (a nonprofit organization) provides shelter, food and assistance to women and families in poverty throughout the Niagara Region.
 
The event was hosted by the Fort Erie Race Track, where about 200 people attended to support the event and enjoyed an amazing buffet lunch at the Prince of Wales Dining Room, while betting on horses and enjoying a beautiful view of the track.
 
The one-day event managed to raise $6,000.00 for the new YWCA shelter home for families.
