Congratulations Lisa!!
Today, our club joined our weekly meeting with the meeting of the Rotaract Club of GTA Connect, https://www.facebook.com/rotaractgtaconnect/. They are a club of young (18+) students and professionals who aspire to many of the same goals as Rotarians do. Today, the guest speaker was Seydi Sy, https://www.upwork.com/o/profiles/users/~01d4a1ce368441bc0f/. He discussed his experience in becoming a Freelance web developer, and provided advice and guidance on how to launch a career in Freelance. The talk was interesting and practical. Thank you Seydi. And thank you to the Rotaract Club of GTA Connect!
The Rotary Club of Richmond Hill is very happy to announce a $1,500 donation to the front line workers at Mackenzie Health.
Covid-19 has hit our lives very hard over the last several months. We have felt social isolation, job loss, and in many cases sickness from Covid-19. But few have felt the impacts of the virus more acutely than our front line workers at Mackenzie Health. Working long hours, faced with the risk of contracting Covid-19, and potentially spreading it to their own family, they are under great risk and stress. The Rotary Club of Richmond Hill salutes the dedicated staff at Mackenzie Health! As a small thank you, we are donating $1,500 in gift cards to the staff.
Niki Gastis, Senior Manager, Leadership Gifts said, “Thank you so very much for supporting our staff in this unprecedented pandemic.” The donation was provided as sixty electronic gift cards that were awarded to staff through their weekly Feel Good Fridays draw.
The Rotary Club of Richmond Hill would like to sincerely thank all of you, who have supported our Beer Festivals, Galas, and other fund raising activities, for allowing us to provide this assistance to our front line workers at Mackenzie Health!
The Rotary Club of Richmond Hill is very happy to announce a $2,500 donation to the Richmond Hill Food Bank.
As our local community continues to cope with the after effects of Covid-19, with so very many workers who have been laid off or let go, the demand on food banks continue to grow. At the same time, many residents/organizations who have actively supported the Richmond Hill Food Bank, are themselves now struggling.
(Ms.) Lee Reynolds, General Manager, Richmond Hill Community Food Bank said, “We are most grateful for the donation made to our food bank. Funds will be used to purchase produce for the many families in the Richmond Hill and the Thornhill community.”
The Rotary Club of Richmond Hill would like to sincerely thank all of you, who have supported our Beer Festival, Galas, and other fund raising activities, for allowing us to provide this assistance to the Richmond Hill Food Bank.
