"Sometimes in life, a small event or item can take on a life of its own. Such is the situation with the humble Redbud and the Rotary Club of Norfolk Sunrise (RCNS) in this area. In the 1950s, my mother Marjorie Wallace went to Landon’s Nursery on Norfolk Street South Simcoe and purchased a redbud tree (officially known as the Eastern Redbud or Cercis Canadensis). It was planted in our front lawn where its beauty could be enjoyed whenever we came home. It had three enjoyable seasons. In the spring, its hundreds of pink blossoms would turn the sky into an ethereal paradise of colour, the summer gave welcomed but not overpowering shade, and the fall season produced thousands of golden heart shaped leaves to again impress the viewer."

The donation is being directed towards the purchase of a Smartboard learning display for the HNLC classroom in Simcoe.
The RCNS's Community Service Ctte has approved a donation in support of certain essential upgrades necessary at the Simcoe Curling Club (SCC). At the enclosed photo, we see Jim Peters presenting a cash contribution to SCC members Sarah Nichol and Murray Uren. These funds will go a long way towards the kitchen upgrades needed to meet local standards and are destined to purchase a 3 compartment sink and faucet as part of the SCC's larger overall kitchen renovation needs.
