Rotary is more than a service organization that's making a difference in your community.

WE SEE DIFFERENTLY, WE THINK DIFFERENTLY, WE LEAD DIFFERENTLY AND OUR ACTIONS MAKE A DIFFERENCE

Rotary Summerside - PEOPLE OF ACTION

COMMITTEE HIGHLIGHT!

Progress deserves to be noticed.

Summerside Rotary's STRIVE scholarship program has recognized students for improvement, effort and perseverance.

That matters, because a young person's growth can take many forms.

A little encouragement at the right time can help someone see new possibilities for themselves.

The Rotary Club of Summerside has provided over $25 000 in Scholarships over the last 3 years.

We're proud of Rotary's connection to local students and the people who support them. Take a moment this week to encourage someone who's working toward a goal.

Rotary isn't for everyone, but it is for people who like getting involved, meeting good people, finding a local network, and making their community stronger.

At Summerside Rotary, bring your curiosity, your ideas and the things you care about. Your job title is only one small part of who you are.

Whether you're new to the area, early in your career or ready to try something different, a conversation is a good place to start.

Message us to ask about visiting a meeting.

Thank you to Randy Goodman for joining the Rotary Club of Summerside as our guest speaker this Tuesday!

Drawing on his experience in healthcare delivery and his time on the Health PEI Board, Randy shared his perspective on the challenges facing healthcare and why it needs to be a priority in the next provincial election.

His message encouraged Islanders to look beyond broad promises and ask meaningful questions:
- What is the plan?
- How will it address the challenges people are experiencing?
- What would success actually look like?

Our weekly meetings give members an opportunity to hear different perspectives, learn more about issues affecting our community, and consider the questions worth asking.

Thank you, Randy, for sharing your knowledge and experience with our club and encouraging an informed conversation about healthcare on PEI.

🎃 Small pumpkins. Big impact. A world without polio.

Brian Stewart recently represented the Rotary Club of Summerside as Premier Rob Lantz welcomed Island Rotary representatives and End Polio Now Champion, Past District Governor Duncan Conrad, for the signing of a proclamation declaring October 24 World Polio Day on Prince Edward Island.

Premier Lantz was interested in learning more about Rotary’s work to eradicate polio and pleased to recognize this important cause.

Here in Summerside, our annual Pumpkins for Polio event turns community generosity into global impact. Last year, we raised more than $20,000 Canadian to help end polio! 💜 At current average vaccine prices, that’s equivalent to the cost of roughly 94,000 oral polio vaccine doses.... lets see what we can do this year!

📍 Rotarians from across PEI will gather at Charlottetown City Hall on October 23 at 9:30 a.m. to raise the End Polio Now flag.

A big thank you to District Governor Chris Hornberger of the Rotary Halifax Harbour and the Deputy District Gov, Maureen MacDonald of Rotary Club of Montague and Eastern PEI for joining us this morning!

Chris shared a reminder that the district is there to serve and support its clubs. With the theme “Honouring Our Legacy. Building Rotary 2.0,” the visit brought together Rotary’s history of service and a look toward its future.

Rotary has a worldwide goal of 1.25 million Rotarians and 125,000 Rotaractors by 2030, as well as a big focus on Youth engagement.

Thank you, Chris, for spending the morning with our Summerside club!
