Rotary Park Marathon
Both Rotary Clubs in Sudbury are joining forces this August to host the 1st annual community/corporate marathon at Rotary Park. Teams can split up the route however they see fit, which will start at the gates to Rotary Park and finish at the Mountain St. exit. If you are interested in joining the organizing committee or volunteering at the event, please contact Rotary Park committee Chair, Brian Smith.
At last week’s meeting our guest speaker was local funeral director and renowned philanthropist, Geoffrey Lougheed. While Geoff has received many community, provincial and national accolades, it was clear during his presentation on the Sudbury Food Bank, that what was most important to him, was his ability to do good in the world today. He provided some background on how the food bank started 40 years ago which focused on how individuals would eat that day. Today the Food Bank serves 17 thousand people every month, the majority of which are children. Geoff emphasized the importance of meeting people where they are at and treating everyone with respect and care. A full 100% of funds raised go directly to purchasing and distributing over 500 tons of food every year for our community.
