Earth Day Committee Update

 
This year's Earth Day Committee Includes Khassan Saka (Chair), Leona MacIntyre, Rick Caron, Vitra Chodha and Anna Galka. If you are interested in joining this committee, please contact Khassan.
 
The group is tasked with creating a project for Earth Day and will need the support of our membership. Please reserve both April 9 from 10 – noon and April 24 from 11:30 to 12:30 for potential activities – a park clean-up on April 9 and a tree planting on April 24.  More details will follow.

Quilts of Valour

 
The Tilbury Rotary club is requesting our support for the Quilts of Valour organization. 
 
 Quilts of Valour – Canada’s mission “is to ensure that all Canadian military members, past and present who are ill or injured as a result of their service and sacrifice to our country, are recognized and honoured with a Quilt of Valour”.
 
To date, 18,351 quilts have been delivered. At present, there are approximately 185,000 Veterans, many of whom are eligible to receive a Quilt of Valour.  Each quilt costs approximately $250 and is completely made and quilted by volunteer quilters.
 
They would like to challenge other Rotary Clubs to support this organization and to show how much we cherish the Canadian Armed Forces. They are hoping to raise $100,000 across Ontario. That would allow a minimum of 400 quilts to be created and given to deserving members. Rotary members who are quilters are also invited to join them in this endeavour.
 
 
If you would like to support this initiative:
Cheques should be made payable to Quilts of Valour - Canada Society
Registered Charitable (BN) Number: 802946699RC0001
 
Mail to:  Jennifer White, Regional Representative, 3494 Talbot Trail, Wheatley, Ontario, N0P 2P0 or to the Treasurer of QOVC
 

 

Donate to the Rotary Disaster
Response Fund 

 
 
As one of the world’s largest humanitarian organizations, Rotary has made peace the cornerstone of our global mission. We are deeply concerned about the Ukraine crisis and need your help.

Rotary is made up of people of action, especially in difficult times. In response to the deepening refugee crisis, The Rotary Foundation Trustees have decided to prioritize contributions made to the Disaster Response Fund until 30 April 2022 to support disaster response grants for districts affected by these events. These expedited disaster response grants can be used to supply water, food, medicine, shelter, and clothing.

Half a million people have fled Ukraine and are in dire need of emergency aid. The United Nations estimates that the number of refugees could grow to as many as 5 million people displaced. Rotary clubs in Europe and around the world have stepped up their relief work, some working on the ground to help displaced families.

With your donation to our  Disaster Response Fund, we can support communities and help rebuild lives during this tragic time.

Donate to Shelter Box

 
In recent days, homes in Ukraine have been damaged or destroyed. Innocent civilians are being killed, families and lives are being torn apart. The UN is reporting hundreds of thousands of people on the move inside the country or trying to leave. They are predicting as many as 12 million people may need humanitarian assistance inside Ukraine.
 
Additionally, the UN predicts that as many as 4 million refugees may be seen as a result of this crisis. More than 874,000 people are reported to have already fled Ukraine to neighbouring countries [as of Tuesday 1 March 2022].
 
ShelterBox is responding to the Ukraine crisis. A team is on their way. We will be sending aid and are working to understand who is doing what so we can avoid duplication and get as many people as possible the support they need.
 
We are liaising with Rotary and Rotaract leadership and members in the region to coordinate information and better understand the situation. We have connected with District 2231 in Poland and with the wider regional coordination framework under RI Director Katarina Kotsalis.
 
We need your help.
 
Your District's support today will provide lifesaving aid for families affected by the Ukraine crisis. Any additional money raised will help ShelterBox provide emergency shelter to families affected by disasters around the world.
 
As official Project Partners in international disaster relief, Rotary and ShelterBox work together to ensure no one is left without shelter after disaster. Donating to ShelterBox is the best way Rotarians can take immediate action to help families affected by disasters around the world. 
 
Donations can be made online through the button below or by mailing a cheque to ShelterBox Canada, 159 Jane Street, Office 2, Toronto, ON,
