Thousands Raised To Aid Cancer Patients

On Thursday, December 19th at East York Memorial Arena, TERC member Jim A (back row, solid blue coat) and others skated 100 laps to raise funds for cancer patient care at Michael Garron Hospital in memory of Joe Runza. Almost $24,000 was raised! See more pictures here and watch the video below.

Holiday Drive A Huge Success

Many, many thanks to everyone who participated in the Holiday Drive.

It was a very successful day. Between monetary donations online from our members and donations collected on Saturday, we raised $5,000 for local food banks, shelters, drop-ins and Out of the Cold. Items including sweatshirts, toys, socks, toiletries and food will be distributed this week.

Particular thanks goes to those hardy individuals (members and friends) who stood out in the bitter cold soliciting donations - Karen Somerville, Jeff Harrison, Dawn Smith, Virginia O'Reilly, Jane Wadden, Pauline Fortier, Jeff Rayman, Leslie Savlov, Benito Del Monte Medina and Alan Munn. A big thank you to Karen Somerville who organized the event. Finally, a special thank you to East End United which provided us with a space for our TERC tent, tables and access to a place to warm ourselves (particularly our feet)!

Remembrance Day At Toronto East

We held our traditional Remembrance service on Thursday, November 7th. We honoured veteran Morris Adams who came to our meeting with Katherine Baldwin (Manager of Recreation and Creative Arts Therapies, Sunnybrook Hospital). On behalf of the Club, President Mike Phelan presented Morris with a cheque to be used by the veterans association at Sunnybrook.

Polio Anywhere Is A Risk To Children Everywhere

Polio cases have declined rapidly since 1985, but the fight isn't over. Polio is a crippling and potentially fatal infectious disease, and for as little as $0.60, a child can be protected against the virus for life. If we don't finish the fight right now, more than 10 million children under the age of five could be paralyzed by polio in the next 40 years.

Since the global initiative began more than 30 years ago, Rotary and its partners have reduced polio cases by more than 99 percent worldwide. There are only two countries where the wild polio virus has never been stopped: Afghanistan and Pakistan.

It’s Achievable! There is no cure for polio, but the polio vaccine successfully prevents cases.

End Polio Now!
