Literacy – in its many forms – needs an extra boost in summer. And here's why.
Rotary Club of North Muskoka members were all a-buzz as Rotarian Cheryl, who is also an avid beekeeper, offered insight into the life of a honey bee and advocated for Ontario honey.
Think about a time when you were included. How did that make you feel? Now, think about a time when you were excluded. How did that make you feel?
When our community needs a helping hand, Rotary Club of North Muskoka members like Jim S. step up.
Rotarians Jim S. and Lynne saw a need in their neighbourhood on Earth Day and sprang into action. Because that's what Rotarians do:
"Lynne and I spent a few hours on Earth Day cleaning up a half-kilometre section of Gryffin Lodge Road, nearest the exit from Highway 11," said Jim. "This area has become a weekly dumping ground and, even though it had been cleaned up by another resident two weeks ago, we collected three large contactor size garbage bags that included numerous containers from Macdonald’s, Tim Hortons, Starbucks, and Wendy’s."
He said they also collected 36 beer cans and 17 one-litre oil containers, some still half full.
"Other items included a cell phone, ball cap, eye glasses, and a shirt," added Jim.
Supporting the environment, in ways both small and large, is one of Rotary International's areas of focus.
"Creating a distinct area of focus to support the environment will give Rotary members even more ways to bring about positive change in the world and increase our impact," according to Rotary International.

Rotary Club of North Mukoka member Amber take moment on Earth Day, April 22, during her daily exercise to collect some litter around her neighbourhood. And that makes sense for her, not only because she, like other members, is dedicated to environment as a citizen, but also because supporting the environment, in ways both small and large, is one of Rotary International's areas of focus.
"Creating a distinct area of focus to support the environment will give Rotary members even more ways to bring about positive change in the world and increase our impact," according to Rotary International.

What's a breakfast club without muffins? Rotary Club of North Muskoka members put their pastry skills to the test with a virtual muffin-making workshop hosted by Rotarian, and former Soul Sistas Restaurant and Cafe owner, Lorraine for a fun meeting activity in March. But how did they turn out?
Rotary Club of North Muskoka members welcomed Rotarian Steve Medley, governor-elect for Rotary District 7010, in April.
