A big thank
you to everyone who made this year’s
Roses for Rotary
campaign the most successful to date! Our club sold
1,381 dozen roses which were all packaged and delivered
on Wednesday, April 1st. Rotarians, family
members, friends of rotary, and local organizations were
out in full force to assemble the roses into beautiful
bouquets for delivery to businesses and homes throughout
Chatham-Kent: from Highgate to Tilbury, Blenheim to
Wallaceburg. Funds raised from the campaign will be
going towards Rotary Club of Chatham Sunrise’s
‘Babies
and Books Belong Together’ program which ensures that
all babies born in Chatham-Kent will receive a book and
literacy information in their package from the Health
Unit. Money will also go towards other Rotary supported
projects such as youth and student exchange programs,
sports and leadership sponsorships, the Rotary Trail
along the riverbank on Grand Ave., and the MRI
Campaign. The Rotary Club of Chatham Sunrise is devoted
to community minded programs bettering the health,
environment and youth education of Chatham-Kent.
Again a big
thank you to everyone who participated in our campaign:
Rotarians, volunteers, delivery drivers, and buyers
alike! We would also like to thank the following for
