As we have over the development period of the Church Out Serving 'Food Hub' facility at Riversyde 83, our Club added to our offerings with a donation towards needed building improvements. We feel more than welcomed in our new meeting place and are proud that we can be a supporter of such a wonderful community support group.
On Tuesday morning, 21 March 2023, Chair of Club Services, Gail Bouw welcomed Karen Matthews as our Guest Speaker. At Riversyde 83, she spoke to us about the Simcoe & District Chamber of Commerce as she sees it from her new vantage point as the recently appointed (4 days in the job!) Executive Director. Karen energized the room and entertained all of us as she spoke of her career adventures, her 'return to town' and her intentions, hopes and dreams for the Chamber.
On 24/25 June, we'll be paddling to fight cancer in Norfolk County and we want you to help out. You can just be aware of this initiative, you might make a donation to a great cause. or you could even assemble a team and challenge for the cause.
Dave Nicolle, Chair of our Community Service Cttee writes in that; "This evening I presented a cheque on behalf of RCNS to the Waterford Tricenturena Skating Club to support their April 1st Carnival which will feature about 175 skaters from age 2 in their Me & My Parent Canskate Program to their Adult Starskate figure skating group. The money will go towards costs for lighting, ice rental, costumes, decorations and props. Accepting the cheque is Maddie Bard, one of the Skating Club's Coaches".
Well ... how cool was that!?!
On week #38 out of a possible 40, on 17 February 2023 at the Port Dover Legion, our weekly RCNS Catch the Ace draw was held.

On the occasion of our evening 'New Members' information session, it seemed like a good time to pose a word picture of our Club given its relatively large, new membership numbers.
At our morning meeting on 31 Jan '23 at R83, we took the opportunity to formally 'pin' and welcome Annette Jacobs into our ranks as the newest regular member of the Rotary Club of Norfolk Sunrise.links our club and district websites;
regular club member personal contact information (phone numbers, addresses etc);
an up-to-date schedule of events and speakers; and
recent stories.
Following six, successfully-concluded licences of our ever-popular Catch the Ace (CTA) fundraiser, the Rotary Club of Norfolk Sunrise, with the support of the Port Dover Legion Branch 158, is now working towards restarting the contest with our seventh licence. It is being planned in a similar way as our preceding licences with the game intended to start in June 2023 - it will conclude once the Ace of Spade is finally drawn.
