RCNS $s in Action - the Gathering Food Centre

Posted by Jim Simpson on Jan 19, 2019

RCNS recently contributed to the production of emergency meals destined for those in need. This photo shows preparation work which is now being done at a volunteer church in Simcoe but will be done at Riversyde 83 in due course. The meals are delivered to emergency shelter locations as coordinated by HN Social Housing.

Good progress is being made with the redevelopment of the Riversyde 83 facility and an end-year occupancy/opening is still anticipated.

Powerful message by Chief Stacey Laforme, Credit First Nation, at RI Convention

You'll be inspired by this powerful message, as "we walk this earth together."

Chief R. Stacey Laforme was one of the most liked speakers at the 2018 Rotary International Convention in Toronto, and has a very common sense and moving message for everyone who lives on Mother Earth.

Thanks very much to Mike Cobb (left), representing the Rotary Club of Simcoe and presenting a cheque to John Wallace, to support the Operation Eyesight project in Nepal which is led by the Rotary Club of Norfolk Sunrise. The Simcoe and Norfolk Sunrise Clubs work closely together in several ways, to the benefit of the members in both clubs and the people and communities supported locally and internationally. Thank you Simcoe Rotary members!

Chef Tracy Winkworth

Posted on Jan 15, 2019

Very uplifting "classification talk" by Tracy this morning. Interesting to learn that it took Tracy a while to find her passion as a chef, but she certainly hasn't looked back since. That passion certainly has driven Tracy to excellence, demonstrated in spades through The Bellworth House restaurant, her catering, and now her Liaison College venture.

But Tracy's apparently not a bit competitive ...

Breakfast With Santa a Hit !

Posted on Dec 01, 2018

A whole lot of happy kids, parents, families, and Rotarians at the Jr. Farmers Building Saturday morning for Breakfast With Santa and his Elves. We served breakfast to over 240 people as well as over 20 volunteers. A great way to usher in the Christmas season and the Christmas Panorama. Thanks, Santa and Elves, for coming to Simcoe to delight our young families. Congratulations to Bettyann Carty and her team for putting together this great event.

Breakfast With Santa is a community service provided by the Rotary Club of Norfolk Sunrise in cooperation with the Christmas Panorama.

Scotland curler returns

Posted on Nov 27, 2018

Jim used his Sgt-at-Arms opportunity to give a brief overview of his experience as a part of the 2018 Canada to Scotland Rotary Curling Tour. He noted the rewards, value and unique aspects of the tour and thanked his Rotary hosts as well as those in the club who had supported his great experience. Happy Bucks offered for each one. Shown here is Jim with the 'Bob Mackintosh TransAtlantic Rotary Curling Quaich' won by the 2108 Canadian team for the first time in 8 years.
