We are a club that likes our service to go beyond financial donations and we work together to provide hands on service in a number of ways inc
luding:
  • We cook, serve, and provide the food for a community breakfast on the second Saturday of each month at the Salvation Army New Hope Centre,

Back to serving our Community Breakfast
The Nanaimo North’s Rotary team of volunteers (although fewer because of the pandemic’s and personal restrictions) continue to go in early on the 2nd Saturday of each month and prepare breakfast for the scores of homeless and working poor in our city’s downtown. Now, instead of serving in the Salvation Army’s dining area, we prepare “to go” boxes which are handed out via their mobile Emergency Services truck.

Food Bank service project continues
Once protocols had been established for volunteers at the Loaves & Fishes Community Food Bank we re-commenced our monthly shifts. We are only allowed up to 8 volunteers, socially distanced and masked, so it's a different experience, but non-the-less rewarding. On Sep 29th, just 5 of us (Bill McK, Barney, Rob, Sheila, and Bill G) worked the shift and managed to sort three pallets of dry goods!
New President installed
On June 17th we were pleased to install our new president for Rotary year 2020-21: Glynis Hayes

RYLA 2020 cancelled !!
 
The spread of the Coronavirus in the greater Seattle area caused the RYLA-NW organizing committee to pause and consider whether they would be putting students and the dozens of adults and speakers at risk if they held RYLA at this time. They have asked themselves, "as much as we want to put on RYLA as planned, does doing so pass the 4-way Test?"  The answer they came up with is "No", it does not.
For 50 years, RYLA NW has had significant and lasting impact on students in Districts 5030 and 5020.  We wish to keep that tradition going for 50 more!

Tree Planting Day at Beban Park
Posted by Craig Clarke on Sep 26, 2018
On Sunday September 23rd, our volunteers along with those from other clubs in area 4 marked the beginning of National Forest Week by planting trees on the bank below Merle Logan Fields (2253 Dorman Road).  Planning was started in the previous Rotary year under Jim Turley, but the project was postponed by request of Nanaimo Parks.  Thanks to city parks staff for their support; they dug many of the holes, delivered the trees, provided mulch and symbiotic mycorrhizae for the roots.

Why Rotarians should engage with program alumni

When clubs cultivate relationships with Rotary alumni, both sides benefit.

The sad truth about altruism is that there aren’t enough altruists

The people who fill the truly essential roles in society are often in short supply

History: Rotary in Spain survives challenges

After successfully establishing a presence in Great Britain and Ireland, Rotary expanded its reach to mainland Europe with the chartering of a club in Madrid, Spain, on New Year’s Day 1921.
