Rotary Clubs of Newmarket and Richmond Hill joined together to hear Valarie Wafer, Rotary International Director 2020-22, Chair Rotary International Global Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Task Force, Rotary International Vice President 2021-2022. A charismatic and inspiring speaker, she spoke about many topics of interest. She congratulated our clubs in particular, and Rotary clubs in general for making the adjustments to harness technology to remain relevant in throughout the Covid pandemic. She discussed the progress that Rotary continues to make to become more Diverse, Equal and Inclusive. She related how one of the most under appreciated benefits that Rotary provides its members is providing a means to learn and develop leadership skills. Thank you so much Valarie!

An Inspiration For Everyone
Please help us help a sister in need!
The Rotary Club of Richmond Hill is collecting purses for the "Fill a Purse for a Sister Campaign". Can you please help us?
Often women in distress arrive at a shelter with nothing. A purse brings comfort, hope and dignity to women and youth in crisis with the gift of purses filled with personal necessities. It is a very small cost which can bring a smile in difficult times.
Let's get started!
Choose a beloved gently used purse, or purchase a new one. With love and thoughtfulness, fill the purse with items such as feminine hygiene products, tissues, shampoo, conditioner, face mask (not disposable), hand sanitizer, toothbrush, floss, hair brush, gloves, hat, scarf, lip balm, coffee shop gift card, notepad, pen, a whistle or flashlight.
Where do I drop off the purses? Rotary is collecting at two locations in Richmond Hill:

Last week we had our Richmond Hill Rotary Bottle and Food Drive. About $1000 of money raised by returning refundable bottles and cans (still picking up some more bottles tomorrow). 900 pounds of food was gathered for the Richmond Hill Community Food Bank. What a great result! Thank you to all of you who donated.
Below is a photo of the Food Bank's Lee Reynolds accepting food from Rotarians: Club President Raj Rajasri, Veda Harricharran, Peter Szoke and Jason Cherniak.
The event featured a lot of great Rotarians in action. Below we have CP, Gordon, Krysta, David and Samantha.
