Weekly Meeting - February 26, 2025 at 6:30 pm
(Rotary's 120th Anniversary and Visiting Fay Campbell at The General Hospital)
Rotary turns 120 years old!
February is a time to recognize and celebrate Rotary’s commitment to Peace and Conflict Resolution – one of our seven areas of focus. This month reminds us that peace is not just the absence of conflict but the presence of understanding, dialogue, and proactive efforts to foster harmony in our communities and beyond.
February is also special because it includes the anniversary of the first meeting of Rotary held on February 23, 1905 in Chicago. Rotary is 120 years old this month and its anniversary is now known around the world as “World Understanding and Peace Day.”
We thoroughly enjoyed celebrating Rotary's anniversary and deepening our connections with one another. We are pleased to share that Fay Campbell is making excellent progress, is in good spirits, and is looking forward to returning home very soon.
Rotary Ottawa South is excited to be a major sponsor of an inspiring new concert series in support of the Multifaith House Initiative! This initiative is dedicated to providing safe and supportive housing for those in need, and we believe that music has the power to bring people together for a greater cause.
Proceeds from these concerts will support Multifaith Housing Initiative's newest development at Lebreton Flats - 133 units of safe, affordable and permanent housing where 30 units will be set aside to house Indigenous families.
Join us for an evening of exceptional live music while contributing to a meaningful cause on Friday, March 14, 2025 at 7:20 pm.
(Rotary Ottawa South has been asked to help with cleanup following the concert. If you can help out, please let Kateri know.)
