Happy New Year everyone. Thanks so much for your support. May 2021 bring you health and happiness.

This is a mask I bought through the Rotary Club of Stirling. Meant to model it during our Christmas Meeting, got too excited during the delayed multiple sign in. Available in lots of 12. Let me know next year at our first meeting if you are interested.

Finally someone dropped off full ones! lol

It's the time of year that the Rotary Club of Brighton offers the Coats for Kids programme. There seems to be fewer asks this year from the schools. If there are any students who are being home-schooled, that are in need of outdoor winter clothing this year, please contact us via Messenger, or contact Emily directly at 613-885-5879.

Our bottle drive is tomorrow at King Edward Park. Anyone at the Point can drop their empties at 135 Bayshore and I will gladly bring them uptown. Thanks for everyone’s support!

Youth exchange is such a great experience for both the students and the host families. https://on.rotary.org/3jrD36l

If any of you wish to donate your empty beer, wine and liquor containers, the Brighton Rotary Club will be operating a fundraising event Saturday, November 21st. Our trailer will be parked in the Brighton Community Centre parking lot, close to the tennis courts and Curling Club. Our members will welcome your donations between 10am and 2pm. Once again, we will be using our partnership with the Rotary Club Of Wellington to return the empties for recycling. A double win for Rota...ry. Alternatively, if you need items collected, then please let me know by return e-mail or call me me at 613-475-5256 and arrangements will be made for pick up. As always, on behalf of the Brighton Rotary Club, thank you for your generosity. Chris Reed 107 Mills Road

Brighton Rotarians took some time after our Friday morning meeting to take a silly walk through the Rotary pavilion in King Edward Park for the District 7070 Rotary AIDS walk that will take place virtually on July 29, 2020.

Get the Word Out! It’s a new Rotary year, and Rotaract members around the globe are now officially equal participants in our Rotary International family as Ro...taractor becomes a Rotary membership category! Definitely worth celebrating with fancy hair and awesome shoes in honour of Rotaract #Rotaract #Rotary #PeopleOfAction

Coming soon...a stay at home Ribfest fundraiser! Save the date (August 8.) for pick up or delivery (small charge for delivery) featuring smoked ribs or chicken or vegetarian stir fry with side salad and choice of potato or rice. Details to follow.

Just one of the many projects The Rotary Club of Brighton supports.
