Rotary Tulips (July 31)
 
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.
Rotarian Looking For Help
Rotarian Jochen Mues of the Rotary Club of Mönchengladbach Gero in Germany is looking for some help. Their daughter, Johanna, has just graduated from high school and is about to spend one semester (September-December) at Saint Mary’s University. Unfortunately, there is a waiting list for accommodations at the university.
 
Jochen is looking for a possible host family in the Halifax area. Jochen and his wife have offered to accommodate a student with them as a type of exchange.
 
Please reach out to Thomas Paul if you, or someone you know, may be able to help.
