Catering is not yet available for meetings.  You are welcome to bring your own food, coffee, refreshments with you, or purchase at the concession if it is open.
COVID protocols in effect: you will enter using the south entrance from the parking lot, present proof of vaccination and photo ID as required by the MCC.  We meet in the Kinsmen Room, up the stairs and to the right.

Rotary Club of Fonthill provides Grant to Women’s Place of South Niagara
Rotary Club of Fonthill provides Grant to Women’s Place of South Niagara
Jan 20, 2022

Every year the Rotary Club of Fonthill supports a local project with a grant of up to $5000 CDN. This year the club purchased 20 desks and chairs for Women’s Place of South Niagara. 

When the pandemic hit, women and their children were forced to isolate in their assigned rooms.  Imagine living in these tight quarters and trying to do schoolwork online.  There will be a brand-new desk and chair in every room to provide designated study space.  In the years to come this will give students a quiet space for their studies and homework.
 
The grant includes funds in the amount of $1,984 USD provided by Rotary District 7090 through the Rotary Foundation District Grants program.

Pelham Raise the Arches Construction Approved – Fundraising Campaign Continues
Pelham Raise the Arches Construction Approved – Fundraising Campaign Continues
Jan 06, 2022

The Rotary Club of Fonthill is excited to announce that with the recent approval of the Town of Pelham Council, the construction of the Pelham Arches is set to begin.  As many will recall, the Arches blew down several years ago.  The Raise the Arches committee then started the process of working to raise the funds needed to replace the temporary arches with permanent arches.  

The Rotary Club of Fonthill worked collaboratively with the Summerfest Committee to support the Raise the Arches group.  Through a gala silent auction event and through the sponsorship of individual arches, over $48,000 was raised.  The Summerfest Committee set aside $36,000 and the Rotary Club of Fonthill has put forward $10,000 so far.  The building of the arches however stalled, as priorities of Covid took precedence.
