Rotary volunteers were at the Circle City Cruizers Car Show on July 20th cooking up a storm in Pete's famous Hotdog wagon. Oh those delicious hot dogs and fried onions can't be beat.  Many more helpers were behind the scene. A great day was had by all.
Our new executive for 2024-25 was inducted at our first meeting of the New Year.

As our Rotary year comes to a close we celebrated the passing of the gavel from the current President, Rosemary Davis, to the incoming president Bruce Thomasson who takes over leadership of the club starting July 1st.  We celebrated the successes of the past year and look forward to the coming year with its opportunities to make our community and world a better place through service.
(L-R) Melanie Ball, Jacob Watson, Justin MacLeod, Gryffin Langis
We were thrilled to have as guests at our June 18th meeting representatives from the GDCI research trip to Peru which took place during March break this year. 
Science teacher at GDCI Melanie Ball facilitated the research trip  and Jacob, Justin, and Gryffin represented the 12 participants. Their days were  split between research work and getting to know the culture and language of the area. It was expressed the trip was one of the best experiences they have had.
Minor Soccer Shelter and Shed Project
Goderich Rotary is excited to partner with Goderich Minor Soccer in their goal to add an activity shelter and storage shed to the Maitland Sports Field. The new features will support not only the very popular soccer league but also facilitate usage for outdoor fitness classes, youth summer camp programming, special events, the community at large and more.
Your generous gift will make a difference that helps us together reach that goal.
Thank you!
