We had an amazing time at our latest social this week, with some axe throwing, a few games of pool, and snacks at Slashers, Splashers, & Smashers in Mission. Every month, our club enjoys an outing to a local non-profit, business, or venue to learn more about our community and get to know each other better. Guests are always welcome!

October is Economic & Community Development month in Rotary so we decided to support a local new business and we had so much fun doing it! We highly recommend that everyone check it out and try the axe throwing, the smash room, or the paint room with your family and friends.

If you'd like to learn more about Rotary and join us for a lunch meeting, let us know in the comments!

Celebrating Service Above Self! 🌟

As a long‑time member of Rotary of North Fraser, she serves faithfully on our International Committee and has led multiple dental missions to Africa, bringing care, dignity, and hope to thousands. Please join us in celebrating Gloria’s remarkable commitment to making the world better, one act of service at a time.

Canada Day just hits different when you start it with pancakes.
Join the Rotary Clubs of Mission tomorrow at Heritage Park for a morning full of syrup, sunshine, and that “we all showed up for each other” feeling. Pancakes have this magical way of making everyone feel like a kid again - and honestly, we could all use a little of that joy.
Come celebrate, connect, and kick off the day with your community. 🇨🇦✨

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.

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!
