Rotary Monthly Themes

 

 Peacebuilding and Conflict Prevention Month

Today, over 70 million people are displaced as a result of conflict, violence, persecution, and human rights violations. Half of them are children.
We refuse to accept conflict as a way of life. Rotary projects provide training that fosters understanding and provides communities with the skills to resolve conflicts.

Supporting Huron Newcomers
Posted on Nov 25, 2024
Santa's Rotary Elf, President Bruce Thomasson, was out delivering Christmas cheer to local organizations supporting Newcomers to Huron County.
We extend a warm community welcome to our Newcomers as they become part of our Huron County community.
 
The Huron Area Newcomer Fund was formed to support immigrants and refugees living in Huron County where there is a demonstrated need due to unforeseen and/or extraordinary costs which are beyond the capacity of supportive agencies or individuals to provide.
Please give it you consideration during this giving season. Donate here
 
The Huron Newcomer Support Association is a volunteer group that works to welcome and help newcomers from outside Canada who are settling in Huron County without other support. The association helps link newcomers to agencies and programs that can provide the services they need to ensure a successful transition to life in the county.

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!
