Calling All Speakers
Do you have a great speaker who might want to speak with our club? Please send all speaker requests to speakers@rotaryhalifaxharbour.ca.
Looking for Action!
We are Rotarians, and we are People of Action! This year we have grouped the different committees of our club into one of four "Action Teams". But what does this mean? We are using the Action Teams to organize the many things we do into distinct groupings for better clarity. One of the reasons we are doing this is to help members focus on areas of interest. For example, if you are a person who craves hands-on, on-the-ground volunteering, the "We Transform Communities" Action Team is for you! Within this Action Team, there are tons of opportunities to serve our local and international communities.
 
Now it's time you join an Action Team!

What is the Rotary Foundation's Annual Fund?
The Annual Fund is the primary source of unrestricted support for the programs of The Rotary Foundation. From digging clean water wells for villages in Africa to teaching basic literary skills to children in Latin America, during any given moment in a day, thousands of Rotarians volunteer their time and expertise to ensure that all contributions given to the Annual Fund are spent wisely on quality Rotary projects.

Rotary Tulips **Updated**
 
We are once again selling Rotary tulip bulbs to raise funds for the End Polio Now Campaign. The tulips sold are ordered from Veseys and can only be obtained from this sale. Each box is $25 for 25 bulbs. And with each box purchased, we will send about $15 to End Polio Now in October after the bulbs have been distributed and paid the invoices. Please contact Stella Roy to place an order.
 
Remember, money from these sales go towards End Polio Now, and our club gets credit for the sales.
 
Deadline pushed August 15th!
Recycling for End Polio Now
Did you know your recycling can help end polio? Here's how:
  1. place refundable recyclables in a bag with the word "POLIO" on the side
  2. drop the bag at Tanner's Recycling (6393 Bayne St, Halifax) and tell them it's for polio
It's that easy! All the money raised is sent to the Rotary Foundation End Polio Now Fund!
