HOW MUCH FUN CAN ONE CLUB HAVE IN A MONTH?
On August 1 the Proudly Bi-National Rotary Club of Lewiston/NOTL raised funds for Niagara Hospice as Club Secretary Tommy, supported by members from both sides of the Niagara River, served as a guest bartender at Wandering Gypsy Brewing Company.
Besides helping Hospice, this event was a major boost for economic development in Rural Niagara County.
Then on August 9 & 10, the Club set up their booth at the Lewiston Art Festival. Since 1968, the Rotary Club of Lewiston, NY & Niagara-on-the-Lake, ON has been grilling hot dogs to help feed the multitudes (estimated crowd size 30,000+), raising funds for food banks, student scholarships and for the sheer fun of it!
This year the crowds were bigger than ever, and the fun and camaraderie were outstanding.
Club members were greeted by Rotarians from all over our District, from District 7080, from Pittsburgh, PA, San Diego, CA, North Carolina, Arizona, Vancouver, BC, Australia, and Germany.
