![]() We would like to express our heartfelt gratitude for our members and their family's hard work and dedication during the river cleanup event. Our Earth Day activities included our 1) Great Lakes Watershed cleanup including Rotary's Brewer Park Playground and 2) developing a sustainability information brochure. During the river cleanup, members gathered to remove trash and debris along the Rideau river's edge and bank; along with cleaning Rotary's Brewer Park playground and surroundings helping to restore its beauty. Our team of fifteen members collected approximately ten bags of trash. It was inspiring to see the teamwork, enthusiasm and commitment by our Rotary family. We had fun! We look forward to working together towards future sustainable initiatives. Caroline DeWitt & Sucha Mann, Co-Chairs RCWO Environment Committee | ||

Rotary Club of Orleans
Many thanks go out to our volunteers at the Bushtukah warehouse on August 15th who loaded 1,910 dictionaries into the vehicles of 10 participating clubs from District 7040 and 7810. Left, in the warehouse, to be delivered were our club's 480 plus 64 surplus dictionaries and 116 Sackville, NB dictionaries. Our 11 teams of volunteers will deliver them to RCWO's 11 schools by curbside drop off due to Covid-19 again this Fall.
Meet last year's volunteers in this short video (or paste this url in your browser https://youtu.be/KZULLycOLHY) Here are some of this year's volunteers. Video to come that will tell the full story by end of November.
See what a difference one dictionary can make for life! RCWO's 60 second entry to the DGs challenge to tell the story of a club project. http://youtube/uCwcZQKQ6nE
