Southampton Rotary "Has A Word" With Local Grade Threes
 
In late November 2022, Grade 3 students from G.C. Huston, Northport, Ecole Port Elgin Saugeen Central, and St. Joseph’s all received their own personal dictionary, courtesy of the Rotary Club of Southampton.
 
In the presentations, the students learned the reasons for using a dictionary in today’s digital world, and how to use alphabetizing and sequencing skills to locate words. The students used their dictionaries to hunt for words to attain their meaning, exact spelling and the part of speech a word they belonged to.
 
French Immersion grade 3's at EPESCS and St. Joseph’s received a French-English dictionary, and they hunted for French words, English words, grammar questions and the gender of words.
 
The Southampton Rotary Club has been presenting Grade 3’s in our area with their own personal dictionary for over 10 years as part of Rotary’s focus on improving basic education and literacy. This year  240 dictionaries were presented. (190 English and 50 French)

Southampton Rotary donates $1000 to Ukraine
to provide medical aid for war victims.
Following a recent impassioned and harrowing talk by Dr Paul Moroz on the challenges of providing medical treatment for Ukrainian civilian and military war victims suffering from horrendous injuries sustained through bomb and missile attacks, Southampton Rotary Club members were moved to act.
 
During the meeting the club held a mock auction that raised $150 and the Club International Services Committee matched this with a further $850 from the club’s disaster relief fund to provide a donation of $1000 to the ‘Canadian Ukraine Foundation – Surgical Aid Program’.

Peace Pole...coming soon to Perkins Park..!

The idea came from the club's wish to commemorate the 75th Anniversary of the United Nations in 2020 and recognize Rotary’s focus on peacebuilding and conflict prevention. Unfortunately, the installation has been delayed due to the COVID-19 Pandemic. This single pole will be one of over 250,000 that are located in almost every country of the world.

The pole will be inscribed: ‘May Peace Prevail on Earth’ in the 6 languages

of the United Nations and Ojibwa.

We look forward to you joining us at the Dedication Ceremony on ‘International Day of Peace" Wednesday, September 21, 2022, @ 2:00 pm, Perkins Park, Southampton, Ontario, Canada.

SHRED-N-GO Join us at our Community Shredding Event
Saturday, April 23, 9 am - 1 pm - RESULTS ARE IN

 

Our SECOND community shredding event was a ripping success...! 

77 vehicles dropped by and we processed 320 boxes of confidential and personal documents for recycling, and BTW we raised around $3000 towards the maintenance of Rotary Perkins Park and other Rotary community initiatives.

See you next year...date to be confirmed.

Quote: From Dave Lennon the event chair. 

“We are delighted with the turnout on a wet and cold morning and we like to thank all our sponsors and patrons. 

This event was designed to be a community service activity to raise environmental awareness during Earth Week and specifically:

- to provide an opportunity to recycle confidential documents and papers

- to provide education on the risk of identity theft

……and hopefully, raise some funds towards the maintenance of Rotary Perkins Park and other Rotary Projects.”
