Rotarians Help at Wellington Square Church - Several Rotarian's volunteered at Wellington Square's weekly community dinner.  The church serves hot meals to the community every Friday night.  It was great to be able to contribute in a such a meaningful way.
 
Rotarians Serve Christmas Dinner to Bonnie Place Residents - It's a long standing tradition for Rotarians to help with the annual Bonnie Place Christmas Dinner.  This year we helped organize and serve turkey dinner to over 150 residents.    Not only did the residents get a fantastic dinner but Larry Armatage played the keyboard and helped guide the signing of Christmas carols.  It was a fantastic night for both residents and Rotarians.
 
Long time member Jim Baker is awarded a Paul Harris - Congratulations to Jim Baker who was awarded a Paul Harris for his contributions to the Rotary Foundation.
 
District Governor Visits Burlington - On Wednesday October 30th, the four Rotary Clubs of Burlington were honoured to host the district governor Lesley Barmania for a four club meeting.  Also present was former Rotary International president Wilf Wilkinson.    It was great to see over 80 people from the four clubs of Burlington come together under one umbrella to listen to Lesley and Wilf give such motivating speeches.
