GIVING THE "GIFT OF LIFE"
Members of the Rotary Club of Stoney Creek have pledged to donate at least 20 pints of blood this year (one pint per member). By registering with the Canadian Blood Services "Partners for Life" program, it will be easy to track the number of blood donations and to know if the club is on track to meet and exceed their goal. "Donating blood is fast, easy, and can literally save lives. It really does fit our motto of "Service Above Self" said Community Services Chair Tina Blatchford.

NEW MEMBER - OLD MEMBER
Jackie Drawbell, a charter member and past president of the Rotary Club of Stoney Creek, rejoined our Rotary family. Due to work and family commitments, Jackie sadly had to part ways with our club many years ago. With her recent retirement from the workforce, Jackie was looking for a way to both give back to the community she loves and enjoy the company of other like-minded people. "Coming back to Rotary was the best way to stay active, make a difference, and have a great time doing it", said Jackie. Her classification is "Benefits and Retirement Consultant". Welcome back Jackie!
