40 Lady Ada Blvd Moncton, NB, Canada

Just a quick shout-out to St. Louis Bar & Grill - Moncton & Dieppe for their ongoing support of our club. Even during these tough times, they find a way to give back to their community! If you're looking for a delicious meal this weekend, call them for your takeout / delivery order!! You won't regret it.

Rest in peace, Pam. You were an exemplary Rotarian and community builder. Our deepest sympathies go out to your family, friends and fellow Rotarians.

Many thanks to incoming District 7810 Governor Darren Hansen for meeting with us this morning for our first Zoom call of 2021! An excellent update with lots of enthusiasm! Looking forward to the New Year!

The Greater Moncton Sunrise Rotary Club is looking for a guest speaker for January who's familiar with cryptocurrency. We're looking for someone who's able to explain what it is, pros and cons, etc. If you have any suggestions, please let us know in the comments section or via FB Messenger. Thanks!

A number of our club members had a great time at the Greater Moncton Men's Progress Club - Club Progrès du Grand Moncton's Antler Breakfast this morning at St. Louis Bar & Grill - Moncton & Dieppe (Moncton). Thanks for a great event and an opportunity for us to meet in person after being apart for far too long due to the pandemic. Thanks for joining in on the fun: Darlene Robert, Sharon Ashfield, Paul Vautour, Brian Cormier, Josie Marks and Sampson Amoako!

Every year, Tim Horton’s is proud to lead off the Annual Royale Greater Moncton Santa Claus Parade with a food drive that receives over 5,000 pounds of non-peri...shable food items and cash donations for our local food bank. This year, we have been faced with the challenge of COVID-19 which has resulted in the cancellation of the Annual Parade. Despite this cancellation, we are keeping up our tradition of gathering donations. On Saturday, November 21st from 9am-3pm Tim Horton’s has received approval from the City of Moncton and the Parade Committee to setup our Christmas float in the Moncton Coliseum parking lot and execute our food drive. Our volunteers will be wearing gloves/masks and accepting food and cash donations. In addition, Canada Post has partnered with our team to collect letters to Santa Claus which are normally collected during the parade. In comparison to our traditional food drive, we realize that this years will be a challenge. We would appreciate if you shared this post to raise awareness for our fundraiser. We hope to see you and your families at our Christmas float this Saturday!

We've been a bit quiet on Facebook lately but rest assured that we continue to meet.

Hi everyone! We continue to meet weekly either via Zoom or in person. Today, we were pleased to welcome New Brunswick Senator Nancy J. Hartling as our guest speaker who discussed her role as a Senator and the work being done by the Senate. So interesting!

First time we got together again since March! It was good to see everyone in person rather than through Zoom!

Wonderful news!

We would like to send our heartfelt condolences to the family and friends of Richard (Ricky) Miles who passed away on Saturday from injuries sustained in an automobile accident. Our thoughts are especially with his dear friends Paul Pellerin and Charline Cormier-Pellerin who brought Ricky with them to several of our Rotary Trivia Nights. Ricky was a great sport at our Trivia Nights and was always smiling. RIP Ricky. (The attached photo is from our Trivia event held on Jan. 23, 2017. Ricky is on the left along with Jackie Landry and Paul Pellerin.) Link to obituary: http://www.cobbsfuneralhome.ca/obituaries/148080

We also entreat you to join a service organization and contribute towards the development of the vulnerable in various communities.
