GETTING DOWN TO THE BUSINESS OF CARING

Leaves be Gone! Members of the Rotary Club of Waterdown got down to business in late October with a community leaf raking event organized by member Karen Matthews. Twelve members were divided into 4 groups of 3 as they divided and conquered to support various seniors and their leaf clean up.

 
The day was a wonderful and warm and resulted in many smiles as well as leaf bags at the curb! Pictured from left to right are leaf cleaners extra-ordinaire:  Rotarians Nan Bruce, Wendy Hickey and Bob Bruce.  
 
Operation Christmas Cheer! Sensing a need from the local seniors’ community, Rotary member Sue Collins took point to organize the Rotary Club of Waterdown’s first Operation Christmas Cheer project on November 7th.
 
A great turnout included more than 20 people who volunteered and wrote 350 cards for local seniors.  Cards were collected at various volunteer events over the course of October and early November, signed and then distributed to various local retirement and seniors’ homes.
