RCNS Recognizing Our Norfolk Community Leaders as Paul Harris Fellows
At the club's recent “Zoom” changeover meeting, the club recognized three local community leaders for their long-standing and noteworthy contributions to our community - new PH Fellows include Dr. Keith Kerr, Diane Luke, and our own Gail Catherwood. More details can be found at the club's webpage. Congratulations to all.
 
ReStarting Fundraising in a Pandemic
Over the years; the Rotary Club of Norfolk Sunrise has benefitted from quite a few very different types of fundraising schemes but most recently, has found great community value in a licensed, weekly draw game called ‘Catch the Ace’.  In collaboration with Norfolk County and the Port Dover Royal Canadian Legion, and prior to the pandemic shutdown, it had successfully completed three licenses and had caused many tens of thousands of dollars to flow back to the players, the community, and community support organizations. The pandemic brought that progress to a halt in March.  So it is that the club is eagerly looking forward to its scheduled restart of License#4, on 28 August. Wish Gail Catherwood and her CTA team luck as it continues to turn people's leisure activity into funding for great community support causes.
