2.  $2,500 was awarded to KINGSTON INTERVAL HOUSE  for the purchase of a new OUTDOOR PLAY STRUCTURE for Robin’s Hope 2nd Stage Housing which will provide a safe place for children to play and while allowing Moms to enjoy the outdoors while watching their children have fun.

THE GIFT of LIFE
ROTARY Brings DIALYSIS to the Poorest of the Poor in Porur, India
 
 
As Rotarians, we are all familiar with our claim that we serve to change lives, and as Rotarians, we do our best to live up to that goal through the many projects we support.  But some projects not only change lives, they also SAVE lives!  Through a Global Grant worth almost US$120,000, the Rotary Club of Chennai Capital obtained financial support from Rotary clubs around the world – including a contribution from the Rotary Club of Cataraqui-Kingston – to provide life-changing and life-saving kidney dialysis treatment for some of the poorest people in the south of India suffering from Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) for whom treatment was virtually unattainable.

 BREADWINNERS! 
at 
LOUGHBOROUGH PUBLIC SCHOOL 

 
The new Teaching Kitchen at Loughborough Public School was inaugurated by Mr. Alan Macdonald’s Grade 7 Challenge North Class on the last Monday of the school year!  The students prepared and baked 16 loaves of bread and clearly enjoyed the experience of being the first class to use the new kitchen, as well as being pleased with the outcome of their efforts.  The Kitchen is part of the the Greenhouse and Teaching Kitchen Project that has been in the planning and construction stages for the past three years.  Once the idea of a previous Grade 7 Challenge Class as a “Legacy Project” for future generations of students, both the Greenhouse and the Teaching Kitchen are now fully constructed, although the interior of the Greenhouse has yet to be outfitted.
 
The purchase of the major appliances, work tables, and shelving units for the Teaching Kitchen was made possible by a CK Rotary Community Service Project Grant that was awarded to Loughborough Public School for that purpose in our Spring Grants competition.
 
CK Rotary congratulates Mr. Macdonald and his students on their bread making skills and wishes all who use the new kitchen success and a sense of pride in all their future culinary achievements!
 
 
IMAGINE…
 
…a classroom without walls, no chalk board, no bulletins boards, no desks, and no chairs, but a place in the forest, with trees, and wild flowers, and filtered sunlight, and rocks with moss, and  squirrels running about!  THIS is the classroom of Mother Nature where 120 young schoolchildren from Loughborough Public School will spend a total of five days during the next school year, experiencing the wonders that surround them in Frontenac Provincial Park.

RECENT SPEAKERS
Speaker September 12th, 2023 - Ayo Banjo - Water for Life Borehole Project
 
Bill Egnatoff introduced Ayo this morning, speaking about their long friendship and collaboration on Rotary projects. Ayo was here to speak about the Coker Water for Life Project, providing water for villages in rural Nigeria. Also joining us this morning was Markus Loehndorf, Rotarian with the Rotary Club of Oberhawen Antony-Huette in Germany. Markus' club was the international partner for the project, and C-K Rotary made a financial contribution.

Speakers August 15th, 2023 - Elinor Rush and Bruce Downey
Kingston Community House for Self Reliance
Posted by John Farrow
Heather Nogrady introduced our speakers this morning. Bruce has a background in architecture, specializing in heritage properties. Elinor has lived in Kingston since 1962, and worked at St. Lawrence College in a program which helped single mothers succeed in business. She is a member of Kingston Fibre Artists. Both are board members at 99 York Street. Started in 1983 the Kingston House for Self Reliance (KHSR) provides low-cost meeting space for organizations, and has become a sort of hub of activity in the community near the Memorial Centre.

Today we were privileged to have Charlie Burbank speak to our club. Charlie has had a long career as a pilot and in flight instruction, and the young age of 84 still helps train Air Canada pilots to fly the 737 Max airplane.
For the past 10 years Charlie has volunteered with the Citizens Advisory Committee, or CAC, at Joyceville Institution. This seemingly thankless yet rewarding work has given Charlie an insight into our corrections system and those in it. This work earned Charlie a Paul Harris Award nomination from Bill Gray.
 
Charlie's presentation and award can be seen on our Youtube channel, at https://youtu.be/cfRgb_kBezQ
 
Speaker July 25th, 2023-Scott Campbell - Why Rotary Exchange Matters
Today we were thrilled to hear from another past Rotary Exchange Student - Scott Campbell. Scott is the son of former Charter Member and Past President Mike Campbell and his wife Denise. The Campbell's hosted Rotary Exchange students, and in 2001-2002 Scott went as a Rotary Exchange student to Japan.
 
Fast forward to a couple of months ago. Scott, no living with his partner and son in China, contacted us and asked if he could speak to the club while he returned for a visit to his parents in Kingston.
 
Scott wanted to tell us what he is doing now, and why his exchange year mattered so much in his life. Scott gave us an emotional and powerful presentation, and with the bridges he has re-built with our Club, it won't be the last time we hear from him.
 
Scott's full presentation can be seen at the following link;

 The website for Scott's venture is www.sino-exchange.org
 
 
Jim Rymerson thanked Scott with the customary loaf of bread.
Speaker July 11th, 2023 - Kristin Cote, Bringing a Refugee Family to Kingston
Posted by John Farrow
Today we had the pleasure of hearing from Kristin Cote. Kristin was the driving force behind bringing a family from Afghanistan to Kingston. The mother and four boys left Afghanistan after her husband was killed in a terrorist attack. The family was not safe and spent time in India after leaving their home. Kristin had experience with hosting a nursing student from Afghanistan with her family years, and it was that connection that got her involved in bringing the Zarif family to Canada. Kristin thanked C-K Rotary and many others for their help.
