The Rotary Four Way Test
Is it the truth? Is it fair to all concerned? Will it build goodwill and better friendships? Will it be beneficial to all concerned
Rotary Reflection
For food in a world where many walk in hunger
For peace in a world where many walk in fear
For friends in a world where many walk alone
And for the opportunity to serve others through Rotary,
May we be truly thankful!
The Loyal Toast
Ladies and Gentlemen, the Queen of Canada!

Happy/Sad Bucks
Heather Nogrady: Last Sunday, guests for lunch, 96-year-old, his daughter and son-in-law, I gave each a Rotary mask. One made a $100 donation. “I don’t hear enough about Rotary!”
Elizabeth Cohoe: So happy because Murray Cotton made an announcement as Director of Service Projects.
John Farrow: Happy for presence of Gord Hill and Ben Anderson. Learned “jazz hands” for clapping. (We used that for the rest of the meeting.)
Robert Reid: Daughter Caroline back from Sweden. Got tested two days before the end of her quarantine. Positive, but no symptoms. Did second test; waiting for results. Could continue to test positive for several weeks, an example of viral shedding.
Michelle Chatten-Fiedorec: two days holiday. Picked fantastic strawberries at Paulridge Berry Farm, Napanee.
Bill E: Happy $5. Grandson starting to ask what and why questions; What’s “minus”? What’s “zero”? What’s language?
Ottawa Metro Club Trivia Night July 11. Consider as a fundraiser for us.
COVID-19 Task Force. The Food Sharing/Isthmus project is now serving 650 families, of average size 4.2 people. Grants were received from The Community Foundation for Kingston and Area and The Lennox and Addington Community Foundation. The Whig Standard did a report Kingston-area school food programs to continue through summer months (July 2, 2020, Elliot Ferguson). Two more donations came in as a result. We will continue to promote it through the selling of masks. The number of people in need continues to grow. Check weekly announcements for packing and delivery. (Scribe’s note, July 10: one recipient donated $5 today, having carefully washed her hands and sanitized the bill!)
Masks are being better made (more room) and the bandanas are coming soon. Payment is through treasurer Rick by e-transfer. Thanks to John Farrow for allowing Kingston Dodge to be the distribution point for masks.
Queen’s School of Business is volunteering some of their students to work with Rotary on our communications with all four clubs. They will help to build a strategy for speaking with one voice of Rotary in Kingston.
Rick Fiedorec, Treasurer
E-transfer is now available; send payments for fines, dues, etc.; anything for which a charitable receipt is not needed. For Foundation donations, if you wish a charitable receipt, donate directly.
