Rotarians – before your long weekend settles in, don't forget to mark your calendars and make plans for the following weekend! Come out and celebrate 100 years of the Rotary Foundation at the 2017 District 7070 Foundation Walk in Whitby on Sunday Sept 10. Join fellow Rotarians & Rotaractors with friends and family on Sunday Sept 10, 2017 for the annual District 7070 walk in support of the Rotary Foundation. Enjoy a leisurely walk along the beautiful waterfront trail in Whitby. (Long-range weather report looks lovely.) The walk will feature live music, local craft beer, prizes and trivia. Dogs welcome, or any other animal on a leash. A continental breakfast and lunch will be served. It's a day of awesome fun for the whole family. Doors open at 8:30 am for breakfast and welcoming ceremonies. Walk (5Km or less) starts at 10am with lunch and closing ceremonies.
While a fun event on its own, remember it's a key opportunity to raise funds for our Foundation - half of which comes back to our own district in three years to support Club projects through District Grant funding.
If you haven't already done so, please go to the Rotary 7070 website this week to register or click this link: Register Online. We welcome you to bring friends and family to this event, you can add them as guest through your registration.
