Thank you to everyone who stopped by the Rotary Shred-A-Thon on Saturday with your boxes, bags, and piles of papers! Your donations mean local community projects will get the support they need and the impact from these projects will be felt by the community for many years to come.

If you missed it, don't worry, we'll do it again in October so start collecting your shredding and bring it out to the next event!

The Rotary Shred-A-Thon! is on THIS SATURDAY!

Got papers by dozens? By boxes? By heaps?
Old tax stuff that rattles and important‑ish sheets?
This Saturday, bring them, clear clutter, feel light,
At Rotary’s Shred‑A‑Thon done fast and done right.
Donate what you can spare, a little or a lot,
It all funds local projects in our community spot!

No pile is too big or even too small!
Please tell your friends, we'll take it all.
If you've got some shredding, get it off the shelf.
Rotary is here with service above self.

When Rotary helped launch the Global Polio Eradication Initiative (GPEI) in 1988, the disease paralyzed more than 1,000 people worldwide every day, most of them young children. Since then, Rotary and its partners have reduced the number of polio cases by 99%, and in 2025, there were just eight cases of polio in the entire world caused by the wild poliovirus.

The GPEI estimates that polio vaccines have saved an estimated 20 million children around the world from paralysis. World Immunization Week, 24-30 April, is an opportunity to celebrate this work. As Rotarians, we are proud to be part of a network that not only cares deeply but puts action to that caring, through projects like this both locally and internationally.

It's easy to join and be a part of standing up for others, serving your community, and making a difference. Let us know in the comments if you'd like to know more.

Club members are attending our annual District 5050 Assembly today, learning from other clubs and district leaders, sharing ideas, and getting inspired for the year to come.

We were all thrilled to hear that our district has recently surpassed 2000 members! If you're interested in being a part of community service projects, global impact initiatives, and service above self, maybe it's your time to join too!

Our club had the great pleasure of having our weekly lunch meeting at the Mission Sikh Temple today! We believe in being an active part of our community and an inclusive place to gather and learn about each other.

Thank you to the volunteers who hosted us with a delicious lunch, informative tour, and making us feel so welcome at the gurdwara. Although the temple is generous to provide lunch for anyone in need, our club made a donation of $320 to the temple to support the costs involved with our attendance.

Yesterday we had the absolute pleasure of officially welcoming two new members to our club, Judy and Lisa. Lisa is a respected realtor in Mission who volunteers extensively at the food bank and other organizations, and Judy is an energetic volunteer as well, giving her time to various creative and community-based programs. We're so glad to have both of them contribute to service above self in the Rotary Club of North Fraser.

Thank you also to Assistant Governor, Peter Tam, for officiating the induction ceremony and to our partners in Rotary, Al and Glen from a Port Moody club for sharing about the incredible international impact Rotary is having in Belize, Guatemala, and throughout the world!
