Attention Bingo players that live near downtown Midland and downtown Penetanguishene! We have 2 new vendor locations that may be closer to you:

Hock Stars on King Street in Midland and Hock Stars on Main Street in Penetanguishene are now selling our Bingo cards. Be sure to pay them a visit!

Did you know that all of our vendors sell our bingo cards on a volunteer basis only? They receive no compensation for their involvement in our program and do so to support our community and Midland Rotary's charitable endeavours.

So the next time you are purchasing your Bingo tickets, please make a point of thanking the vendor for the great work they do and for supporting our community.

Rotary Club of Midland meeting last night.

Through the Government of Ontario’s volunteer recognition program, we have the opportunity to recognize our members with certificates and a pin commemorating their years of volunteer service with the Rotary Club of Midland.

Rotary is built on service, friendship, and a commitment to making a difference in our community. The time and dedication our members give to Rotary are truly invaluable. Tonight is an opportunity to celebrate those who have generously given so many years of their lives to serving others.

It is my pleasure to recognize the following Rotarians for their outstanding years of service:
Jamie Tripp – 30 years
Terri Brophy – 30 years
Jamie Hunter – 40 years
Jim Anderson – 50 years
Ron Crane – 50 years
Shawn Nielson – 10 years

Each of these milestones represents years of commitment, countless hours of volunteer work, and a lasting contribution to our club and our community.

A special congratulations to Jim Anderson and Ron Crane, who have each reached an incredible milestone of 50 years of service. Fifty years of dedication to Rotary is a remarkable achievement and a wonderful example of what service above self truly means.

To all our recipients, thank you for your commitment, your friendship, and your continued dedication to Rotary. Our club is stronger because of members like you, and we are proud to recognize your contributions.

Congratulations to each of you, and thank you for your years of service to the Rotary Club of Midland!

Today, the Rotary Clubs of Midland and Penetanguishene joined together to walk and raise awareness of polio! 💜🚶‍♀️

Did you know?

🌎 2030 is now the goal for a polio-free world.

Rotary International took on the fight against polio in 1985. Since then, wild poliovirus cases have decreased by more than 99%.
Wild poliovirus remains endemic in only two countries: Afghanistan and Pakistan.
Polio eradication remains one of Rotary’s top global priorities.
Challenges such as vaccine-derived poliovirus outbreaks, the effects of COVID-19 on health services, and fragile health-care systems continue to make eradication difficult in countries around the world.
We have come so far, but the work is not finished.

We are SO close! Together, we can help make polio history. Every step, every contribution, and every effort counts.

💜 End Polio Now! 💜

Rotary Club of Midland meeting held last night!

🌍❤️ From Midland to Nairobi – A Journey That Continues to Inspire!

In November 2024, 11 dedicated individuals representing the Rotary Club of Midland, the Lions Club, and our generous sponsors travelled to Nairobi, Kenya, on a special mission — to make a lasting difference in the lives of the boys at Life4Kids.

Together, we helped build a library, a fully equipped computer lab, and the much-loved “Garden of Love” — which has now grown into something of a jungle! 🌿

At our Rotary meeting last night, we welcomed Jane, Executive Director of Life4Kids, and she shared wonderful updates on the boys and the home.

What began as a mission to make a difference in the lives of others became an experience that profoundly touched each of us.

The library, computers, and garden may be what we left behind, but the friendships, memories, and connections are what we brought home. ❤️

A beautiful reminder that when communities come together, even across continents, amazing things can happen!

For more information about Jane's visit and places to see her and talk to her, check out Life4Kids Canada
