IT'S THE SIMPLE THINGS

WOW! Who knew that pancakes and sausage patties would be such a hit?  On Saturday, December 2, 2017, The Rotary Club of Norfolk Sunrise (RCNS) played host to the Norfolk community.  Reportedly, this "pay it forward" to the Norfolk community event was an over the top success.

There were a total of 120 adults and 110 kids served over the 2-hour event.  A huge increase over last year's 80 guests. The Junior Farmer's building in Simcoe was the perfect venue with lots of space for the kids to play without restrictions. The Christmas blow-ups were fascinating to the kids and the colouring table was never empty....simple things in life are still so important.  Having Santa, Mrs. Claus and the Elves on location was pretty special too!
 
The club notes that its struggles during the past few years have been, "How to get the word out?"  Thanks to new RCNS member Sue Finnie, that problem was solved. SOCIAL MEDIA! The club sends a special note of appreciation to Sue! Conceivably, the new challenge might be, "How to get enough food to serve the masses?!"  What a great problem to have and - even better, they have a year to chat about that.
