On June 8, the Rotary Club of Halifax Harbour gathered on the side of a hill in Bedford, surrounded by the natural beauty of our community. Rotarians, friends, and family members, despite the damp weather, joined hands to plant 1000 trees. This event was not just about planting trees; it was a testament to our club's enduring commitment to the environment and the power of fellowship.
The Importance of Fellowship
Fellowship is at the heart of Rotary. It's the glue that binds us together, enabling us to achieve extraordinary things. The tree-planting event was a perfect example of this spirit in action. The morning was filled with laughter, camaraderie, and a shared sense of purpose. Working side by side, we strengthened our bonds and reinforced our dedication to making a difference in our community and beyond.
