Many people ask: just what does a Rotarian do? Simple. We work for the local community and raise funds for large scale international projects (eradicating polio across the world, helping to ensure safe water in developing countries, supporting environmental projects etc.).
Closer to home, we are running two large local community events in the month of September. Come and say hello.
Rally for Rehab sponsorship
On Sept. 8 we are proud to be a partner with Leaside Life in the Rally for Rehab event, which you can read more about in this issue. Leaside Rotary recognizes the power of this partnership to deliver adult rehabilitation and medical advances and help people in great need. We love supporting local events like the Rally for Rehab. See you there!
Leaside Rotary corn roast – come one, come all!
Another example is the annual Leaside Rotary corn roast on Sept. 15 at Trace Manes Park. This is the 28th time we have run this event. The corn roast is Leaside’s largest free family event with over 1,000 people attending last year’s event. It’s family friendly with large fun-filled inflatables, great food, a 50/50 draw, guessing jars and local prizes.
The money raised last year went to numerous charity initiatives including East York food bank, reading program for new Canadians in Thorncliffe, and a local holiday toy drive, to name just a few partners. Please come out and join us for a day of family fun at the Leaside Rotary corn roast.
If you’re interested in becoming a member of Leaside Rotary and having fun with an energetic group of adults focused on making a difference in the local community, contact us at . We’re always looking for new Rotarians or volunteers to help us do great things in Leaside at our many events.
