Interview with Incoming TERC President, Virginia O’Reilly
The new Rotary year starts on July 1st, and we are pleased to bring you an interview with incoming Toronto East Rotary Club President Virginia O’Reilly!
Interview by Tara Webster, and edited for clarity and length
TW: Virginia, congratulations on your upcoming club Presidency! Can you tell me about how and why you joined the Toronto East Rotary Club?
VOR: I was asked! I was working on a fundraiser at Providence Villa (now Providence Healthcare) and that’s where I met (founding President) Bill Phelan. Through that, he asked me to join a meeting and eventually to join the Club. As some readers may know, I come from the East Coast, and my parents were involved in helping the community and we all knew the value of getting together to help the community and of being community-minded. There’s a quote by Mother Theresa that I really like “I can do things you cannot, you can do things I cannot. Together we can do great things”. Rotary allows us to do that.
