Welcome to the Rotary Club of Hamilton AM Charitable Corporation
At the August 7, 2024, Hamilton AM club meeting, a brief Annual General Meeting was held for the purposes of approving the new club Charitable Corporation.At a previous meeting, PDG Anne Bermingham made an excellent presentation of this major change in club operations.
Due to Ontario legislative changes, the club was required to dissolve its old "Trust" program used to host fundraising events and to provide minor and major community grants.
The new corporation has now been approved including a slate of board members.
Going forward, all club fundraising efforts will be carried out in the name of the charitable corporation and Charitable Tax Receipts will now be issued in that fashion. At the meeting, these changes were ratified.
The Charitable Corporation board members include club Treasurer, Simon Boucher, Secretary Tim McClemont, Past President MacNeal Lashley and Directors Marita Zaffiro, Clare Freeman, and John Baxter.
