This week at Rotary, Amarok Society co-founder, Gem Munro, is addressing the Rotary Club of Spruce Grove about the society's unique and highly effective model for teaching mothers to teach children in the world's poorest neighborhoods.  The Rotary Club of Spruce Grove and other District 5370 clubs have been partners in supporting several Amarok schools over the past number of years. Join us to find out more about what's happening and how you can help.  If you can't attend in person this week, we are broadcasting Gem's talk live on the web using Zoom.  You can join us remotely using this link:  https://zoom.us/j/320936935.  A recording of the talk will be available afterward, too.

November is Foundation Month in the Rotary calendar.  Did you know that the Rotary Foundation is a separate entity from Rotary International?  Do you know how the Foundation supports the work our club is doing in Spruce Grove and the world?  Are you aware of all the ways you can support our Foundation?

 

This week at Rotary, Past District Governor and current District 5370 Foundation Chair, Tim Schilds, is speaking to our club to answer all these questions and more!  To explore for yourself, check out www.rotary.org/give
