PHF Presentations

On Monday 7 January, five Rotarians received Paul Harris Fellowship recognition.

During the past 100 years, the Foundation has spent $3 billion on life-changing, sustainable projects. AG Norm Brown presented the pins. We salute Rob Marshall, Heino Lilles, Isabel Reinertson, Winston Lee-Hai and Kari Wilkinson.

GLP Thank You

Dear Friends in Rotary,

As the year comes to a close and the holiday season is upon us, we take this time to send warm wishes to our Canadian Rotary partners.

We at the Guatemala Literacy Project are thankful for your support and generous contributions to Global Grant #1872636. Canadian Rotary clubs are truly making a difference by providing rural Guatemalan children with a quality education and brighter future removed from a life of poverty.

Thank you, Canadian Rotarians, for your support in 2018; to we wish you all a happy holiday season and a joyful and healthy New Year.

Sincerely,

Joe Berninger
