Fall is here.  The leaves have been brilliant and are dropping.  Our neighbours across the River are or have voted and COVID is still with us.  And Rotary remains strong and relevant due to your commitment to be a person of action and to do good in the world.

 

Despite COVID-19 we had a very successful fundraising event to raise significant funds in our battle with Polio.  Approximately 50 cyclists were out on a cold and blustery World Polio Day last Saturday on both sides of the Niagara River from the Rainbow Bridge to Queenston Heights and Lewiston.  A big shout out to the cyclists and donors in this ride to celebrate the life of Dr. Ron Mergl, a staunch supporter of Rotary and his fight to end Polio.  Kudos to the Lewiston-Niagara-on-the-Lake and the NOTL Clubs for their support and to Greg Stevens and Lisa Vitello from the Niagara River Greenway for their logistical support.  The Welland and Fonthill Clubs baked cookies and scones and NOTL provided coffee and hot cider.  Lewiston-NOTL provided refreshments on their side.
