The month of September was relatively quiet. There was several end of season Triathlon, Biking and Running events this month, and we were proud to be out supporting our local community with Rotary at the St Thomas Railway City Road Races.  It looks like October will find the Panda wondering around the Niagara Region and New Haven to work with some clients, and that will give us the opportunity to meet with some new Rotary clubs!

Do you know what Rotary does in your community?  The St Thomas Railway City Rotary Club which I am apart of is a relatively small club, but we are active in our community doing service projects and raising monies for deserving programs while at the same time being a part of a fantastic group of people that are committed to making the community a great place to live.  For example I am spear heading a little project to sell Teddy Bears at our local hockey teams home games in November, to raise money for Christmas Care.  Last year we sold almost 75 bears half of which were donated back, which allowed us to donate almost a thousand dollars and forty bears to Christmas Care.  The best part is we did all this in partnership with the local St Thomas Junior B Stars, and we got to go and pack the boxes for the families in need at Christmas Care.  It may not sound like a lot but knowing that one child had a great Christmas, makes it well worth the effort. If you would like to buy a bear to donate this year let me know!  I hope to have  a facebook donation link available very soon.

Till next month……
