Our Respite Care Summer Program Team, pausing for brief photo op. with two our our longstanding club members who put their all in keeping this program running. August is usually a bitter sweet month for us at the Bowmanville Rotary Club as among other things it usually marks the end of our Summer Respite Care Program. This year was no different has we celebrated the students who rose to the occasion to lend a hand and nurture smiles from the families in our community that signed up for our 25th annual respite care summer program. Moms and Dads and their children with exceptional needs were treated to a summer of well deserved rest ( mom & dad) and fun filled activities (kids). Our team of caregivers swooped in like the super hero they are and brought joy to the lives of these families. Check out this article that tries to summarize the experiences of our caregivers this past summer .....

Just another Tuesday morning supporting our community…. or was it? At our July 11th weekly Rotary meeting, Club President Chris Zelasko and Director of Education Chris Christodoulou presented bursary cheques to 7 (6 in attendance) exemplary students within our community. As each student was introduced and shared their appreciation speeches, one couldn’t help but hold back tears hearing their many and diverse experiences coupled with a positive outlook for their future and the future of the community, they call home. The event culminated with the entire audience giving these young talented individuals a standing ovation as we wish them all the best in their journey ahead. Join us in congratulating Adrian (Skyler), Simon, Miranda, Teagan, Khristina and Gemma. Kaylee was out on summer vacation but will join us later this summer for her celebratory speech. Until next time cheers!

Here's an opportunity to come out and meet some great people with a common interest, while having fun. Each year, our Rotary Club of Bowmanville provides volunteer service at the Canadian Tire Motorsports Park. In exchange for our services, a donation is made to our club to help support our various community programs. These golf cart chauffeurs are loads of fun and 100% of the tips you share with them this year, as they shuttle you across the park to your favorite corner, all go to our local Hospice. This weekend was our second of three long weekends planned this year, please join us later this summer for our third and final of the season. Help us help our community.

After two years of forced hiatus the Rotary Club of Bowmanville was thrilled to once again invite the families of Clarington and surrounding area to enjoy our famous Ribs and Brews Festival. And what an amazing success you made it! Can you believe we raised $101,000 that we will use to support our community and international projects. A big "Thank You" to our incredibly generous sponsors, the talented musicians, the fabulous Ribbers, the wonderful Craft Brewers, the many food and non-food vendors, Durham Regional Police Service and the Security team, and all the terrific volunteers without whom we could never have pulled this off. And a special "Thank You" to all of you who graced us with your presence, had a great time, and made this event the success it was! Want to see a few photos? Click here for our photo album.

Nine amazing individuals! Clarington community is blessed with the good works of many. Recently our Rotary Club of Bowmanville had the opportunity to thank and honour nine of our people for their amazing contributions to others. On the evening of May 25th 2022, at the Admiral’s Walk Club House in Newcastle, the Rotary Club of Bowmanville honoured 7 community individuals for their dedication to service of others. These individuals exemplified our motto of Rotary in providing Service above Self within our own Clarington Community. Receiving such a recognition is the highest honour our Rotary club can bestow upon an individual. The following individuals were named as PAUL HARRIS FELLOWS during a presentation evening highlighting their individual contributions and good deeds to the community. Congratulations and appreciation to: Jill Richardson Donna Metcalf Lucy Rekker Richard Rekker Rod McArthur Stefanie McEwan Steve Kay A similar ceremony also occurred on May 28th at Wilmot Creek Community Wheelhouse, where residents Lorraine Bird and Phil Bird were recognized for their contribution to the community.

The Rotary Club of Bowmanville's Thursday March 25th evening meeting was truly a special one. The Club took the opportunity to present eleven Paul Harris Fellowships and two Paul Harris Fellowship Certificates of Appreciation to deserving Everyday Heroes of the Pandemic. Paul Harris was the founder in 1905 of what became Rotary International, a global service organization of more than 32,000 local clubs and over 1.2 million community minded individuals. The motto of Rotary International is "Service Above Self". The presentation of a Paul Harris Fellowship is Rotary's way of recognizing an individual's outstanding contribution to their community while a Paul Harris Fellowship Certificate of Appreciation recognizes the community contribution of an outstanding organization. The recipients of Paul Harris Fellowships (PHF) were: - Jim Boate, a cycling and hiking enthusiast, was recognized for several community activities but especially for pestering the municipality into clearing the snow from the Bowmanville Valley Trails so they can be enjoyed during the winter.
- Ben Earle, Executive Director of Feed the Need in Durham, received recognition for his leadership of his amazing team as they work to keep food available for those in need in Durham.
- Joe Solway, a Bowmanville Rotarian, was recognized as the driving force behind the Concert to Feed the Need in Durham that raised $20,120 last December for the food bank.
- Marj Huxter, a cashier at the Bowmanville Metro, received recognition for her welcoming smile and outgoing personality over 36 years that has been especially welcoming during this difficult time.
- Steve and Cherie Mintz were recognized for putting smiles on children's faces this past Christmas. They organized a socially distanced visit with Santa on their front lawn and ended up raising $1,400 which they then distributed to several families in need.
- Mark Canning received his PHF for taking the lead in organizing the construction and maintenance of two outdoor rinks in local parks, one in Courtice and one in Bowmanville, for kid's outdoor recreation.
- Koren Kassirer was recognized for her many many community activities both prior to and during the pandemic. Koren was a founder of Picasso's Picnic which became the Kids Outdoor Art Festival.
- Martha McGee was recognized for her cheerful presence and welcoming smile while managing the Algoma Orchards store during the pandemic. She is a good friend, good neighbour, and someone you can count on if you need help.
- Eleanor (Eli) Brooks, a Bowmanville Rotarian, helped with the organization of the Concert to Feed the Need in Durham and was, and still is, the driving force behind Bowmanville Rotary's Grocery shopping and delivery program.
- John Albi, owner of the Newcastle Rona, was recognized for his Newcastle Proud poster campaign, his Christmas lights on Toronto Street, and his gifts of flowers and poinsettias to local long term facilities.
- Michelle Stroud, retiring CEO of Glen Hill Strathaven Long Term Care Facility, received her PHF for her aggressive, proactive management approach to the pandemic which resulted in a minimum of COVID-19 cases in the facility.
Two very deserving organizations received Paul Harris Fellowship Certificates of Appreciation. They were: - Lakeridge Health and especially Lakeridge Health Bowmanville received a PHF Certificate of Appreciation in recognition of the courage, hard work, and dedication of EVERYONE who works at the hospital. Their willingness to tirelessly step forward on our behalf during this battle against COVID-19 has earned them our everlasting gratitude. Accepting on behalf of Lakeridge Health was Dr. Harvey Williams and Registered Nurse Jennifer Keeler both of whom work in the Emergency Department at LHB.
- Bowmanville Older Adult Association received a PHF Certificate of Appreciation for rising to the challenge to create online programming after the pandemic shut their doors in March of 2020. Within two weeks online programming was available, staff were recalled, and daily care calls were being made to shut-in members. The response of the BOAA team was nothing short of amazing. The Certificate of Appreciation was accepted by Executive Director Angie Darlinson and her team.
The Rotary Club of Bowmanville wishes to express its heartfelt thanks and well deserved congratulations to all Paul Harris Fellowship and Paul Harris Fellowship Certificate of Appreciation recipients. It is people like you who make our community the the wonderful place to live that it is. THANK YOU!!! Koren Kassirer PHF Recipient Eleanor (Eli) Brooks PHF Recipient Marj Huxter PHF Recipient John Albi PHF Recipient

The numbers are finally in for this year's concert to Feed the Need in Durham that was streamed live before Christmas. It took awhile to tabulate the money that came in from all the different sources. The concert, of course, raises funds for the agency "Feed the Need in Durham", which distributes food to 62 members across the region -- places like food banks, shelters and other programs. We're thrilled to announce that our third annual concert netted $20,120! That's up from $14,000 last year. For every dollar raised, Feed the Need can distribute 7 dollars worth of food ... so that means that with the funds raised by the concert, Feed the Need can distribute over $140,000 worth of food to our neighbours who need it ... and this year the need has never been greater. A big "Thank you" to a whole lotta folks who made this happen ... the concert committee who put the virtual show together ... all the sponsors who stepped up ... the Rotary Clubs who got together to help fund the show - six of them from Durham and one from Toronto, with Bowmanville Rotary taking the lead ... the hosts - Ellis and Archer from KX96 and Chris Koppin from CKDO ... and of course, the performers themselves - musicians and dancers from across the Durham Region who donated their time and talent at a time when so many of them are having trouble finding paying gigs because of Covid-19. Musicians are among the most generous people anywhere. And finally, to all of you out there who made donations before, during, and after the concert. Thank you, thank you, thank you! And if you missed the concert, it's posted on the concert Facebook page. The easiest way is to click here or you can simply Google "Concert to Feed the Need in Durham Facebook".

One of the unfortunate consequences of the corona virus pandemic was the cancellation of our Summer Respite Care Program for children with special needs. However, the talented New Members Committee came up with an innovative idea to help the children celebrate Halloween. Pumpkins were delivered to the homes of those who indicated their interest in participating and the children and their families created some simply amazing Jack-O'-Lanterns. Prizes were presented to the top three based upon "Likes" on our Facebook page but we are sure you will agree that every one was was a spooky winner! Please follow this link to see all the AMAZING Jack-O"-Lanterns.

Our front line health care and support teams at Lakeridge Health Bowmanvile are working under increasingly stressful conditions created by the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. To top it off, the volunteer run snack bar has been closed due to the pandemic making it difficult to grab a quick bite on the fly. As a gesture of support and appreciation for their heroic efforts, the Rotary Club of Bowmanville has arranged for "treats" to be delivered to Lakeridge Health Bowmanville. The treats are in the form of snack foods, prepared by Lisa's Cake Lollies and Treats, that can be taken during a break in their hectic day. We wish to extend our heart-felt appreciating and gratitude to everyone at Lakeridge Health Bowmanville for all you are doing to keep us healthy and safe during these difficult times. This initiative was spearheaded by Rotarian Phil Benner with the generous assistance of Lakeridge Health Bowmanville Volunteer Coordinator Vicki Adams and Lisa's Cake Lollies and Treats.

The 9th Annual Meeting of the Rotary Club of Bowmanville's Septua- Octa- Nonagenarian Society (SONS for short) was hosted by Fred and Debbie Mandryk at the Bowmanville Family Restaurant on Friday January 3, 2020. Following an introductory welcome to the assembled #genarians and their spouses by Fred, the first order of business was to update the name of the Society to include those Rotarians who have entered their nineties. Fred then welcomed new members John Burns, Pauline Calvert, Denis Beaulieu, and Renee Bos and presented them with membership certificates. A delightful time of conversation and fellowship transpired over lunch. The membership extends it thanks to Fred and Debbie for hosting.

No one ever wants to end up in the Emergency Department, especially if it is a child and it is during the Christmas Holidays. So, how can a necessary scary visit be made a little less stressful? It started last year with a text message from the husband of one of the Emergency Department nurses (Jodi C.) at Lakeridge Health Bowmanville asking on behalf of his wife if Rotary could help by providing a few plush toys to comfort children who were unfortunate enough to find themselves in the ER during the holidays. Rotary members scrambled together about 120 plush toys that we were able to deliver just in time for the holidays. This year Bowmanville Rotarians were prepared and with a huge boost from one of our members (thank you Dave S.) and the help of the ER staff, we were able to deliver over 260 plush toys to last through the holidays and a bit beyond. It is our hope that this can become one of our annual traditions. We wish to extend our heart-felt thanks to everyone at Lakeridge Health Bowmanville for the care and compassion they deliver throughout the year and for this opportunity for Rotary to give back to our community. Merry Christmas and All the Very Best for the New Year to one and all.

Despite some very uncooperative weather, the annual Rotary Children's Christmas Party, held at the Clarington Beech Centre on Sunday December 1st, was a wonderful heart-warming event. Organized by a team led by Rotarians Chris Zelasko and Rachel Boyd, the party featured a display and presentation by Soper Creek Wildlife Rescue, entertainment by magician Magic Al, amazing face painting by Janet Lange, pictures with Santa by Hunter's Sports Photography, a sumptuous turkey dinner with all the fixin's catered by Massey House Restaurant, and (of course) a visit from Santa Claus. Three of our Summer Respite Care Givers were able to attend and serve as Santa's elves for the distribution of gifts to the children. To view more photos of this wonderful party, please follow the link to visit the Photo Album.

The First Annual Pumpkin Parade featured over 200 JacK-O-Lanterns lining the walkway and veranda of the Clarington Museum's Waverley Place. Organized by Bowmanville High School student James Chocorlan with Rotary's financial support, the event brought out a throng of adults and children to view the amazing array of Jack-O-Lantern ideas from the very comical to the down right scary. The event was also designed to support the local Salvation Army Food Bank by requesting a donation of non-perishable food items from the attendees. The local Boy Scouts also participated by selling snacks as a fundraiser for their troop. All in all this was indeed a tremendous success for a first time event and we at Rotary wish to congratulate James, his family, and his friends for the amazing effort they put into making it happen. We also would like to see this event continue and will assist in any way we can. Thank you to everyone who participated by bring their Jack-O-Lantern, donating to the Salvation Army Food Bank, or simply attended the event. Our thanks as well to Clarington Museum and Archives for hosting the event and to the Municipality for arranging for the composting of the pumpkins.  Jack-O-Lanterns line the Walkway at Waverley Place Really Spooky!!!

The Bowmanville Rotary Club's Youth Service Committee presented a $500 cheque to PFLAG beside the Rainbow crosswalk at John M. James Public School on Mearns Ave. Our club was one of the original sponsors of the crosswalk which was a grassroots initiative of PFLAG and others in the community that was installed last spring. The funding is earmarked for the organization's Camp Rainbow Phoenix, a residential-style summer leadership program for youth ages 13 to 17. PFLAG supports LGBTQ people and their families.

Bowmanville Rotarian Bob Stevens, who has left the Club after almost 69 years to spend more time with his wife, Jean, was honoured during the Four-Club meeting held at the Oshawa Golf and Curling Club on September 24, 2019. Bob joined the Rotary Club of Bowmanville on December 8, 1950 and has had perfect or near perfect attendance at the weekly meetings every year since. Bowmanville Rotary President Jason Van Stiphout introduced Jean and Bob and announced that Bob had been inducted back to the Club as an Honourary Member. He's not getting away that easily! Jason was also pleased to be able to present Bob with a Paul Harris Fellowship +8 which recognizes Bob's generous contribution of over $9,000 US to The Rotary Foundation.

Bob Stevens was/is a consummate Rotarian! When he was younger he rarely missed a meeting and when he did, he always tried to ensure he attended a make-up. Bob joined the Rotary Club of Bowmanville on December 8, 1950 and, with a heavy heart, he suddenly resigned just shy of 69 years during our August 20, 2019 meeting in order to spend more time with his lovely and loving wife Jean who isn't well. Bob status within the Club was immediately changed to that of "Honourary" Rotarian. Both Bob's grandfather and father were members of the Bowmanville Rotary Club so he came by the ideal of service above self honestly. Bob served as Bowmanville Rotary's president during the 1966-1967 Rotary year. He received his first Paul Harris Fellowship in June 1987 and as of March 2019 is a PHF+6. He was also one of the "Original Seven" who took out personal loans to purchase and save the old Cream of Barley Mill which is now Bowmanville's Visual Arts Centre. As he presented what turned our to be his farewell speech, Bob presented a cheque in the amount of $10,000 to the Club. His wish is that $5,000 be donated to The Rotary Foundation and the remaining $5,000 be put to good work by the Club. Club members are truely going to miss Bob's sunny disposition and ever present smile at our meetings. We wish both Bob and Jean all the very best. After almost 69 Years, Bob Stevens announces his resignation from the Rotary Club of Bowmanville

The Summer Respite Care Program is one of the Rotary Club of Bowmanville’s signature programs. The Bowmanville Rotary Club has had a long history of support for children with special needs and their families. Recognizing that families with special needs children deserve some respite, especially during the summer months when children are not in school, the Bowmanville Rotary Club has for 22 years offered a Summer Respite Care Program that provides both home care and experiences for children with special needs. The program began in 1998 with three families enrolled and has grown to include over thirty-one families with thirty-five children ranging in age from 3 to 25+. The program involves one of the Club’s student respite care givers spending quality time with the special needs child and providing social, educational and recreational activities appropriate for the child. Not only does the Summer Respite Care Program provide respite for the families and quality care for the children, it also provides meaningful career-related summer jobs for the five college and university students we hire. This year the Summer Respite Care Program ran for ten weeks from June 17, 2019 to August 23, 2019. The very successful Program was funded in part by a grant from the Canada Summer Jobs Program administered through Service Canada and by the Rotary Club of Bowmanville. A family could request preferred hours to meet their particular needs during the summer. The level of support available depended upon the funding available; however, the Rotary Club tried to provide between four to eight hours of respite care per week per child at a nominal cost of two dollars per hour of care. This year's amazing Respite Care Givers and the Rotary support team are pictured below.

The Bowmanville Rotary Club was pleased to be able to help three sisters realize their objective of getting a Rainbow Crosswalk in Bowmanville in support of the LGBTQ community. The three, Jordan McCormack, Alison Ridding, and Emily Allison, originally approached the Municipality of Clarington and received unanimous approval to cost share the creation of the crosswalk. The cost was estimated at about $8,000 which meant that the trio would have to raise $4,000 to see their dream realized. The Bowmanville Rotary Club's New Member Committee, chaired by Joe Solway, started the ball rolling with a donation of $1,000. Following that, Steve Kay, Director of Fundraising and Special Events, offered the three sisters the use of the Club's crowd sourcing site, www.funditclarington.com to assist with their fundraising efforts. The community's response was nothing short of amazing and the remaining $3,000 was raised in less than a week. For more information about this unique project, please see the story published in the Clarington This Week or visit the Rainbow Crosswalk Facebook page. Well done everyone!!! .jpg) (L to R) Steve Kay, Joe Solway, President John Burns, Jordan McCormack, Alison Ridding, Emily Alison, and Mayor Adrian Foster

Vince Fletcher was a long time member of the Rotary Club of Bowmanville and along with his wife, Mary, they were great supporters of Rotary. Both Mary and Vince were Paul Harris Fellows. Following Vince's passing, Mary continued to support the Bowmanville Rotary Club's Children's Christmas Party with an annual donation of $2,500. Mary Fletcher passed away in April 2018 and is truly missed by those who knew her. The Rotary Club of Bowmanville was surprised and delighted to learn that Mary's will provided for a substantial donation to the Club. During our September 18, 2018 meeting former Club member Don Hutton, a long time friend of Mary's, attended to announce that Mary was leaving the sum of $296,000 to the Club. The Club will take some time to consider how to appropriately disburse the funds. The Finance Committee will entertain suggestions from Club members and all members will be involved in making the decisions. It is anticipated that distribution of the funds will take place over several years as worthwhile projects are identified. .jpg) (L to R) President John Burns, Don Hutton, Rotarian Tim Funchion

Soccer is an increasingly popular sport in Clarington and the municipality provides several soccer fields for this purpose throughout the community. The Darlington Soccer Club works hard to keep the fields in pristine condition to enhance player safety and improve game pace and quality. To accomplish this, the Soccer Club owns and maintains a tractor, field rollers, and other equipment used to seed, fertilize, water, and roll the fields. In July the Darlington Soccer Club approached the Rotary Club of Bowmanville, which hosts its Ribs & Brews event at the Clarington Fields, with a request to donate funds to purchase a shed in which to house their equipment. The Soccer Club also offered to engage in a joint branding opportunity. The Rotary Club of Bowmanville was pleased to support the Darlington Soccer Club with a grant of $4400.00 to purchase the much needed shed and offered to pay for a joint branding banner to be affixed to the shed.

District Governor Valarie Wafer supports a challenge to Rotarians in District 7070 to increase the number of registered consents for Organ and Tissue Donation in the Province of Ontario and in particular in our District.
Just a few facts
- one donor has the potential to save eight lives through organ donation and enhance the lives of seventy five others through the donation of tissue.
- currently in Ontario there are more than fifteen hundred people on the waiting list for a life-saving organ transplant.
- research shows that many Ontarians think that they are registered but are not. The result is less than 25% are registered organ and tissue donors.
Our goal is to inspire members to check their status, and either confirm registration or register for the first time. We hope that they will encourage family and friends to join in the clubs’ initiative. All you need is your health card and two minutes of your time. This is the ultimate opportunity for “Service Above Self” with no financial impact on the donor or their family! For more complete information visit our site page or go to our campaign page to register.
Hilda Finnigan, Past President of the Rotary Club of Oshawa Parkwood and a volunteer with the Trillium Gift of Life Network will facilitate clubs in participating in this project. With the assistance of TGLN staff she will report the results of our efforts every three months.
