Rotary Noel 50/50 2020The members of Rotary are dedicated to offering their time and talents to help improve the quality of life for people within the community and around the world. Our mission is to continue to support these and other community needs that depend on our ability to raise funds. This year all our major fundraisers have been canceled due to the Covid-19 Pandemic.. By purchasing your tickets for the Rotary Noel 50/50 Draw, you will be contributing greatly by helping us to keep supporting these initiatives. They need us more now than ever. https://rotarynoel50-50.rafflenexus.com/ The picture below is from last year's event. |
Peace Arch Hospital DonationWe are thrilled to recognize our friends today for their $12,000 gift towards PAH Foundation Lodge back in March. Their gift was designated towards four ceiling lifts inside the Lodge. These ceiling lifts — which meet virtually any lifting need including bariatric patients — provide a state-of-the-art, customized ceiling track system that can transport patients from a bed to a chair or bathroom, and even to another room or area in the facility. Most importantly, these ceiling lifts make it possible for caregivers to safely lift and transfer patients of all sizes with respect and dignity. Thank you, again, Peace Arch Rotary Club for your generous gift! . |
