Tonight, at our casual physically distanced meeting we had a wonderfully inspiring speaker Meredith Copp. Meredith has been travelling to Estawini (Swaziland) in South Africa, for several years with one thing in mind, making the lives of school children in Estawini the best they can be. Meredith‘s passion is the Estawini School Project. This community is an impoverished one, there are many needs. Each time she travels there, Meredith meets with locals, and government official...s to decide on a project. Over the years she has brought food for the students, funded and restored electricity to the school, built a pipeline to provide running water, and even built proper toilet facilities for both staff and students, There is always work to be done, and Meredith is always working toward her next goal. If you’d like to hear Meredith speak, or lend a hand with fundraising, we would be happy to connect you. Thank you for inspiring us Meredith. See more

Good day to everyone! It is a new world out there, and we, as a Rotary club, have had to put a great deal on hold. As the world begins to reopen, we have decided that we will begin production of our 11th edition of our Northside Business Directory. We are going to be reaching out to our current contracted customers and restart the process. We understand how difficult this time has been, and realize how important Shopping Local will be to rebuilding our economy and our communi...ty. We feel it is important for us to continue forward with our directory for those businesses that have invested in us, and their businesses for the last 10 years. Our photographers will be making contact with you, with recommendations keeping this a safe process. Please express any concerns in a considerate manner. We want to advertise you, and for our community to bounce back strong, and healthy. We want to honour our contracts with you, so your businesses will prosper once again. We want you to be safe, healthy, and successful. See more
