Snack duty at Joe Howe Elementary!
Each week, #Rotary volunteers spend ~$100 on grab-n-go snacks so kids at Joe Howe have something healthy to eat during the day.
Here's Rotarian Thomas on snack duty.
This is what $100 of Cheerios, cheese, crackers, applesauce & cranberries look like!!

โRotary is just old men, meetings & minutes.โ
Yeahโฆ?
Err, no...!
Yesterday, we tackled a 15KM adventure around Long Lake, Hfx.
This wasnโt just exercise, it was Rotary fellowship at its finest.
Because Rotary is more than meetings โ it's movement, momentum & meaningful connections.
Ask me.

I wonder who shoved into Trump's worm nest of a brain the moronic idea of making Canada a US state. He never has ideas of his own, somebody embedded it there, and it took root. What kind of sick bastard you have to be to make an enemy out of Canada?

Today is Rotary's 120th birthday!
Rotary as a service club was founded by Chicago lawyer, Paul Harris, in 1905. He and four friends would rotate their weekly meetings between their 5 offices - hence the name Rotary.
Their first project was a public toilet.
