Southampton Rotary Club is excited to announce we have partnered with Three Sheets Brewing to produce a limited edition special brew known as 1938 Lager.
 
Jeff Carver, the driving force behind Three Sheets Brewing said: “I have been a longtime admirer of the good work of the Southampton Rotary Club and in recognition I am delighted to offer a special edition brew to commemorate the club’s 85th Anniversary.”
 
Dave Bertrand Club President advised:
“The club was thrilled to have been selected by Three Sheets to brew a special beer in our honour.”
He went to say “Club members ran a competition to pick a suitable name and by a unanimous vote “1938” was selected to mark the year the Rotary Club of Southampton was established”.
 
Extract from the Brewmaster’s notes about the lager:
“A light, crisp, and very drinkable beer, this beverage represents something that brings people together to celebrate ties of friendship and service that unite us all.”
 
Where can you purchase 1938 Lager?
The beer is now exclusively available from the Three Sheets Brewery Tap Room, 1246 Goderich Street, Port Elgin.

Auction GC HUSTON
 
20th Annual Dinner Auction – Exceeds Expectations                             November 2nd, 2023.
 
Southampton Rotary held its 20th Annual Dinner Auction in support of Rotary Causes and the GC Huston Playground Project at the Walker House last weekend. The capacity crowd enjoyed a sumptuous 3 course dinner, and were entertained by the guest auctioneer, Bill Walker, former MPP and now President and CEO of the Organisation of Canadian Nuclear Industries.
 
GC Huston School Principal, Hugh Morrison gave a compelling address to illustrate the power of play and advised the new playground initiative transcends mere playground equipment; it's about crafting an inclusive space where children can play, learn, grow, and create cherished memories.
 
Dave Bertrand, President said “Businesses, citizens and friends once again demonstrated their unwavering support for Southampton Rotary causes on October 28th with a lively, sell-out dinner auction. The end result of all the very generous bids and donations was very positive indeed, and the Fund-A-Need portion of the night, by master auctioneer, Bill Walker, netted over $40,000 toward Southampton Rotary’s $85 000 goal to pay for a new state-of-the-art accessible play structure on the G.C. Huston school yard. Without such a generous, supportive community, ambitious goals like this would not be reachable. On behalf of our club and the community, thank you, to the friends of Southampton Rotary..!
 
Tony Sheard, the Auction Co-Chair said “We extend special thanks to National Bank Independent Network for being our Presenting Sponsor, Kelly and Sons for being our Table Sponsor and The Saugeen Team at Century 21, In Studio Reality for hosting the Bubbles Reception and all the businesses who donated items for the auction or took ads in our program. Without their support we would not be able to stage such a fun event., so we encourage everyone to support our community by continuing to SHOP LOCAL..!”
 
He further acknowledged “The net proceeds for the evening exceeded $65,000 and wished to thank all our Rotary members, partners, and friends who worked tirelessly to make this event such a success.”
 
Mark your calendars for next year’s event, which will return to the Walker House on Saturday, October 26th, 2024.

Rededication of Southampton Rotary Peace Pole: Embracing Peace in Ojibwa and Japanese
September 21, 2023
Earlier today at Perkins Park Southampton, we came together for a momentous occasion to rededicate the Southampton Rotary Peace Pole. This powerful symbol of unity united community leaders, representatives, and residents for a day of reflection and peace.
The ceremony featured addresses from notable figures, including Club President Dave Bertrand and Deputy Mayor Diane Huber, Lori Kewaquom from Saugeen First Nation illuminated the translation process of the Peace Pole's message into Ojibwa. - "Bekaadesewin".
This year the club is hosting Rei Kaneda, a Japanese Rotary Youth Exchange Student, and the club added a Peace message in Japanese and Rei took the opportunity to bring greetings from her home country.
Past President, Jenny Amy gave a short address on the meaning of peace to conclude the ceremony and formally invited all present to reflect and rededicate the pole by saying the words 'May Peace Prevail on Earth'.
Peace Poles Originated in post-WWII Japan, and our Pole now stands as a beacon of Rotary's commitment to peacebuilding. Inscribed with 'May Peace Prevail on Earth' in eight languages, it embodies the collective hope for peace worldwide.

Playground Project – GC Public School, Southampton – Everyone Can Play!
 
At a landmark signing ceremony this morning at GC Huston Public School, President Dave Bertrand and School Principal Hugh Morrison signed a Memorandum of Understanding to embark on an ambitious project to build an inclusive school playground that will benefit all students, regardless of their abilities.
 
The estimated cost of this project is approximately $115,000, and the school already has funds in reserve of around $30,000, which they will pledge to help make this playground a reality. With Rotary’s participation, we have an opportunity to bridge the remaining $85,000 shortfall together. 
 
The target is to raise all the funds by Spring of 2024 to enable the School Board to tender and install the play equipment, ready for the new school year in the Fall of 2024.

The Rotary Club of Southampton and Southampton Arts are delighted to confirm the installation of a mural in the “Gateway to the Arts” alley between the Town Hall and the Art School in Southampton, Ontario, Canada.
This whimsical mural of the High Street was originally commissioned by the Rotary Club of Southampton in 2022 for use as a tracking board for “Toonies for Tom”, a Rotary fundraiser for a CT Scanner for the Saugeen Memorial Hospital Foundation, raising $20,002 for the campaign.
The painting was created by local artists and friends of Southampton Arts and the project was led by Darlene McConnachie and Jo Ann Sturgeon.
After the “Toonies for Tom” campaign, the artists asked if the mural could go on permanent display and Rotary suggested changing the title to reflect a “Shop Local” theme.
The mural was installed by Town staff on August 2, 2023 and a photo op with the artists, Sara Porter of the BIA and Art School Manager Michelle Casolino was held on August 15, 2023.
 
Toonies For Tom, June 12th, 11 am – 3 pm
Start collecting Toonies NOW and bring them to downtown Southampton for our fun family event to help us collect enough Toonies to go from the Flag to the Hospital and bring a CT Scanner to our Town. Come out and enjoy the Toonie Toss, live music, popcorn, children’s colouring competition, emergency vehicle displays, and more...!
The event is in planning....more details will be available in May.

Rotary Winterama 2022 - Winter Olympic Challenge..!

RESULTS

March 31, 2022 - Winterama pays back over $12,000 at award ceremonies at local schools around the area.
 
Local Elementary School Students Get Active With the Rotary Winterama Olympics Challenge organised by Southampton Rotary Club and Tara Rotary Club.
Local elementary school students earned important fundraising dollars for their schools, and embraced winter activities this past February through the 20th Annual Rotary Winterama campaign. Students brought in a collective total of over $12,000 directly to their schools, to help fund breakfast programs and important school projects.
 
Local corporations, businesses, and individual supporters generously stepped up as well, and donated over $12,000 to the campaign, allowing the participating Rotary Clubs to defray the costs of Winterama, and broaden their services to support youth programs in our area. This year’s Winterama offered a Winter Olympics Challenge to students, where students accumulated kilometres doing fun winter activities during the period of the 2022 Winter Olympics. High-achieving students in local schools earned bronze, silver, and gold medals if they met certain kilometre benchmarks. Top classes in each school were also awarded a recess activity bucket, hand-delivered by Bearama, to help them keep active at recesses.
 
Participating students in local schools logged a total of over 21, 000 kilometres during the campaign… more than halfway around the world! See some of the smiling faces below, skating with Winterama mascot “Bearama", and later wearing their medals. A total of 233 students skated, skied, sledded, hiked, and snowshoed their way to their Rotary Olympic Challenge medals, and many more accumulated kilometres trying their best.
The top four pledge-earning students in Winterama also won prizes for their hard work fundraising for their schools. In first place was Charlie Schaab, EPESCS, who raised $1200. Second place prizes winners were Serenity and Andre Saunders, G.C. Huston, who each raised $795. Third place went to Sam Stephenson, EPESCS, who raised $720 for his school.
Amabel Sauble deserves a special mention, despite being the smallest school population-wise (162). They accumulated a total of 6603 kms, or 41 kms per student!!!
 
A big THANK YOU to all 2022 Winterama participants, sponsors and supporters!!
Looking forward to a bigger and better event next year.

Winterama is a FUN AND FUNDRAISING PROJECT promoted by the Rotary Clubs of Southampton, & Tara held in February each year for the benefit of local schools and Youth Programs in our area.
 

This year we are asking that schools participate in the Rotary Winterama Olympic Challenge during the Winter Olympics in February 2022. Individual participants and students solicit cash pledges in support of their involvement in ice-skating, snowshoeing, cross country skiing, curling, and /or other winter activities at their schools. 

ROTARY WINTERAMA raises funds for youth in GREY-BRUCE. All funds stay local and new this year,  100% of the pledge money raised will go to the participating schools or youth groups for their specific projects and programs including breakfast programs.

Nearly $550,000 has been raised and distributed back to local schools and the community in the past 19 years.

To support an individual student, contact that student for their personal Winterama fundraising page link or you can donate directly. CLICK HERE

Rotary Exchange Student Kaedra Traynor Leaves For Germany
 
On August 4th, SDSS Grade 11 student, Kaedra Traynor, flew off to Aachen, Germany, where she will attend high school for the next 11 months. She will live with 3 host families during her stay, become immersed in the language and culture, and come back a different person. Kaedra is sponsored by the Southampton Rotary Club but was chosen among other applicants, by members of all three Rotary clubs in Saugeen Shores. She has become familiar with all three local Rotary clubs and spoke to them about her selection, the application process, and her feelings about becoming a Canadian youth ambassador to Germany. Kaedra participated in several training sessions over this past year, to prepare her for this role. All Canadian exchange students for 50+ years have donned the red blazer that Kaedra is wearing in the photo. She will miss her mom, Lee, and little brother, Koden, but is looking forward to the challenge of becoming a German teen for a year. 
 
SDSS, our community, and our local Rotary clubs wish Kaedra well on this life-shaping adventure. 
 
We also look forward to welcoming our inbound exchange student, Rei Kaneda from Japan, on August 21st. Rei will be hosted by the Southampton Rotary Club and will attend SDSS. 
Bucket Brigade Raises $5890 for Southampton's Canada Day Firework Display
 
The Rotary Club of Southampton extends its gratitude to the generous community members and visitors who made the annual Canada Day Firework Display a resounding success. Through their contributions, the Southampton Rotarians and their friends were able to raise a remarkable $5890 to help fund the cost of the fireworks.
 
At key entrances to the beach, a team of 16 dedicated volunteers donned their fluorescent jackets and collecting tins and ventured into the vast crowds, seeking donations on behalf of the Saugeen Shores Chamber of Commerce. Their tireless efforts paid off as they were met with an outpouring of generosity from residents and visitors alike. As a token of appreciation, Canada pins, temporary tattoos and small paper flags were handed out to the excited children who eagerly embraced the spirit of Canada Day.
 
The Southampton Rotary Club is delighted to present a cheque for $5890 to the event organiser, Christine Mitchell, Executive Director of the Saugeen Shores Chamber of Commerce,
 
Christine Mitchell said “This significant contribution will go a long way in ensuring that the Canada Day Celebrations remains a cherished tradition in Southampton.”
 
Bruce Waechter, a prominent member of the Rotary Club, expressed the organization's sincere thanks to the community for their incredible support. He remarked, "We are immensely grateful to the kind-hearted individuals who dipped into their pockets and donated towards the Fireworks. Their generosity embodies the true spirit of community and exemplifies the Rotary motto of 'Service Above Self.'
 
 
This year, the Rotary Club of Southampton also introduced an innovative way to facilitate donations. Through a partnership with Home and Community Services, the club utilized TipTap devices, enabling credit and debit card contributions. This added convenience allowed even more people to support the Fireworks.

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)

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.

“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
