Please join us for a truly meaningful and inspiring meeting as we welcome Dave Black, who will be sharing reflections from his recent visit to Ukraine.

Dave’s firsthand experience offers a powerful glimpse into the realities on the ground, the resilience of the people, and the impact of humanitarian efforts during this challenging time. His story promises to be both moving and thought-provoking, reminding us of the strength of the human spirit and the importance of global compassion and service.

This is a unique opportunity to hear directly from someone who has witnessed these moments up close and to engage in a conversation that connects our Rotary values to the world beyond our community.

We hope you’ll join us for this special presentation and be part of an evening of learning, reflection, and connection.

Come join us as we roll up our sleeves and dive in! Together we’ll be sorting food, stocking shelves, and putting together meal kits.  It’s hands-on teamwork that makes a real difference!

Be sure to fuel up with a bite beforehand, bring along a drink to keep you energized, and wear comfortable footwear since we’ll be on our feet and moving around.

We’re thrilled to welcome Makayla Harrison to our club.   Makayla is the Executive Director of Volunteer & Information Quinte (VIQ) the heart of volunteerism in Hastings & Prince Edward Counties. 

VIQ is a community powerhouse that connects people with meaningful volunteer opportunities and supports more than 275 local agencies through volunteer recruitment, referrals, training, and community programs. They also maintain one of the region’s most comprehensive community services databases and help match skills with passion to make a real difference right here at home.

Come and hear Makayla share insights on how VIQ strengthens our community, how individuals and groups can get involved, and the impact volunteers have every single day.

Whether you’re already volunteering, curious about how to get started, or just want to be inspired,  you won’t want to miss this!

As we approach Family Day, we want to take a moment to recognize the importance of slowing down and spending time with those who matter most.

This informal gathering gives us the chance to symbolically pass the torch, and begin the transition to our incoming leadership in a relaxed and welcoming way.

While the official changeover will take place on July 6th, this is a wonderful opportunity to connect, celebrate continuity, and look ahead to the year to come.

We hope you’ll join us for fellowship, gratitude, and a sneak peek at what’s ahead for our club.
