Please accept our heartfelt thanks and appreciation for your recent generous financial gift to Parkland Pregnancy Centre. The money received from your donation goes towards our Covid-19 Compassionate Response program, which will enable us to continue to provide much needed basic items like diapers, formula, milk and food to families.
We appreciate your willingness to partner with us as we help those with babies and small children weather this health crisis.  We look forward to a continued and positive relationship as we make a difference in our community.

Masks and Gloves
Rotarian Bill Steinburg would like to ask Rotarians who may have spare paper masks or rubber/latex/nitrile gloves (or would like to go on a treasure hunt for them!), St. Michael's Grove Manor could use them.  You can reach out to Bill Steinburg if you can help: gamma4@telus.net
#ServiceAboveSelfSG
We've launched our social media project to show gratitude to essential workers during the COVID-19 pandemic.  In conjunction, we've also expanded our social media presence.  You can now follow the club @SGRotaryClub on Twitter and Instagram in addition to finding us on Facebook.  Here's how you can participate:
  1. On your own Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter account (or all three!), share a gratitude message about an individual or a vocation that you want to recognize.  Make sure your post includes "@SGRotaryClub #ServiceAboveSelfSG" so that it shows up on our club's feed as well and gets associated with the hash tag.
  2. You can also go to the club's Facebook's page and type your message where it says "Write a post..".  Still be sure to include the hashtag #ServiceAboveSelfSG.
  3. If you're not inclined to use social media yourself, simply email President Brad your message and he'll post it as the club.  Let me know if you want it attributed to you or if you want it anonymous.
