A little volunteering can make a big difference.

 

Rotary club of Edmonton Mayfield had their casino this past September and needed extra workers.  Our club members stepped up but in the end, they only needed one shift filled.  Former Mayfield Rotarian - Marilyn Mucha did that shift and negotiated that some funds be shared with our club.  We just received word that they received their proceeds and have offered $ 1000 to YEG Passport Rotary club projects that are eligible per AGLC rules.   Partnership pays.  We hope to continue such collaborations with other clubs - true to the "passport" style of club that we are. 

 

Stay tuned for discussions on where we want to apply these funds. 

Balwin school is holding a Christmas lunch and the Rotary club of Edmonton North East has invited us to join in to help out.

 

Our partnership with the Sinkunia Community Development Organization has resulted not only in a wonderful impact on our community and growing collaboration with the Rotary club of Edmonton NorthEast but a strong connection with its Founder and CEO  Issa Kamara.  Issa holds a Master's degree is Social Work with specialization in social policy planning and administration from the University of Manitoba. Originally from Sierra Leone, he wants to join Rotary to contribute to social and community development in all corners of the world. He received the Rotary Integrity Award in 2021.   His sponsor is Shelley Sabo.
