When life throws you lemons, set them gently aside and make perogies instead. Rotary Club of North Muskoka members, with help from volunteers and our fellow Rotarians with the Rotary Club of Huntsville Evening Satellite Club, were determined to continue our annual handmade Ukrainian perogie fundraiser, despite all the roadblocks 2020 has put in the world's path. So, with physical distancing, masks, participant limits and other additional safety measures in place, volunteers assembled more than 100 dozen of the potato-and-cheese-filled dough pockets for sale to a hungry and compassionate public! All the work happened in the Table Soup Kitchen Foundation's commercial kitchen. And a most important thank you to Rotarian Nick and his wife, Vivian, for their tireless and essential leadership in this labour-intensive but fun and fulfilling weekend of Rotary at Work!

Rotary Club of North Muskoka members welcomed Rotary District 7010 Governor Lynne Chant as our guest speaker on Nov. 5! Lynne's inspiring words reminded us that, while the world is quite different these days, a little creativity can go a long way, not only in how we host club meetings, but in how we aspire to serve our community. She was particularly impressed with how our club has embraced digital technology for meetings. We also often host hybrid meetings - some members meet in person with physical distancing and masks as others join in via video conferencing from home - to create a flexible environment that allows people to feel most comfortable as they continue to engage with their club members. And our district governor was also pleased to see that, while the COVID-19 crisis has led to public health and municipal direction to postpone the annual Huntsville Santa Claus Parade until 2021, club members had created a new community engagement initiative called Santa's Light Up the Night to help keep community connected through the festive winter season. And we continue to strive to serve our community in other ways - including a physically distanced perogie making weekend in October so we could offer the delightful potato-and-cheese-stuffed dough pockets as usual to community members and raise funds for club youth service projects - and are always open to new ideas. Have an idea, or do you see an unfulfilled need in the community? Send us an email to let us know!

The Rotary Club of North Muskoka regretfully announces that, due to restrictions related to the ongoing COVID-19 crisis, the Huntsville Santa Claus Parade has been postponed to 2021. The decision is based on direction from Simcoe Muskoka District Health Unit officials and the Town of Huntsville. However, to all the children and community members of Huntsville, and the businesses that have supported the parade in years past, we want to assure you that we are hard at work coming up with a safe alternative event for the 2020 holiday season. We are hopeful that Santa will still be able to make an appearance during this special event, too! Sincerely, The Rotary Club of North Muskoka |

The program celebrates Canadian authors, illustrators and stories, while inspiring kids, teens and adults in a lifelong love of reading. Funds helped support prizes to encourage reading at all ages this summer.
And did you know? Basic Education and Literacy is one of Rotary International's six areas of focus. Those areas of focus aim to build international relationships, improve lives, and create a better world to support our peace efforts! |

Rotary Club of North Muskoka joined thousands of Rotarians around the world June 20 and 21 for the first Rotary International Convention held virtually since Rotary International was founded in 1905. The ability to connect from the comfort of our homes during the COVID-19 crisis gave a moment to reflect on the purpose of Rotary as a "service above self" humanitarian service club. Virtual sessions focused not only on the international efforts of Rotary on COVID-19, but also the responsibility to be leaders in diversity and peace abroad and at home, in addition to the humanitarian work that was already underway before the crisis struck, including clean water and hygiene projects and medical technology funding initiatives. Mark Maloney, president for Rotary International, noted in a speech that positive change in the world will not come quickly or easily, but he encouraged clubs to take decades of building peace internationally and apply it to the communities where we live. He urged everyone to rise to this moment in history.

We've all been indoors – a lot – these days. So we turned our weekly online meeting on April 23 into an Earth Day recognition event! Club members, instead of attending a meeting, were asked to do something Earth-friendly, whether that meant collecting trash in their area if they felt it safe to do so, heading into the garden for some one-on-one time with nature, or tying their laces for a walk outside. Club members were also asked to snap and share photos of their activities. Rotarian Amber got down to business, safely collecting waste near her home. And it looks like she had an opinion on how much she was able to find. Thanks, Amber! |

 Hats off to Rotarian Rob A. (left), who accepted the Rotarian of the Year Award from President Cara in September. The decision came after a club vote. Was it Rob's legendary baked goods? His tireless sense of humour? Being one of the first to volunteer for every club project, activity or event? His work spearheading Rotary Foundation fundraisers, community book sales, social events and more? Or taking on a leadership role within the club as membership chair? We're guessing probably all of the above, and then some. Plus, he's a pretty nice guy. Oh, and he can play the piano. Congratulations, Rob A.!

This year, we were able to help provide a bit of festive cheer, including presents and dinner, to two anonymous area families that found themselves unexpectedly on hard times. How did we do it? Our club members generously offered freewill monetary donations from their own pockets or their businesses to help purchase a few items such as socks, pajamas, toys and more, while area businesses joined in with gift cards and additional items, too. Thanks to everyone who helped make this possible!
