Regional Rotary Clubs from Montreal, Upper New York State as far as Deep River and west to Napanee are meeting in Cornwall Saturday for a World Community Service Project conference, as Arnprior Rotarian Gerhard Peters explains.
There are representatives from seventy clubs who will be attending, and perhaps nine proposals for funding will be on the table.
Arnprior Rotary is again submitting what had been a successful proposal that no one expected would still be necessary.
The Warm-Up-the-Ukraine initiative is in cooperation with Rotarians in Kharkiv, which is very much coveted by Russia.
Peters says the Warm up the Ukraine project will go ahead, with or without the Foundation endorsement- and the Arnprior Rotarians will match every dollar donate locally, dollar-for-dollar.
Rotarian Gerhard Peters says anyone who wishes to donate is encouraged to do so.
