Toronto East Rotary Club Celebrates Extraordinary Service to the Community

The Toronto East Rotary Club (TERC) is dedicated to serving the community and has contributed to many projects here in Toronto East and internationally. 



 

TERC would also like to play a role in celebrating those individuals (Rotarians and non-Rotarians) who are also dedicated to serving community – here in Toronto East – through their extraordinary service. We are hoping that you know some of those individuals and would like to ask you to nominate them for a Paul Harris Award – a Rotary award that honours an individual who demonstrates significant support for the work of The Rotary Foundation or extraordinary service to the community. The award includes a pin and a certificate which will identify the recipient as a Paul Harris Fellow.  

The nominee should hold “service above self” as a guiding value.

Do you know someone whom you would like to nominate to receive a Paul Harris Award? 

Send your nomination to Karen Somerville. In your nomination, please include the following: 
    • your name and contact information; 
    • the name and contact information of the nominee;
    • does the nominee live or work in the Toronto East community or otherwise contribute to the Toronto East community; 
    • a description of the extraordinary service that the nominee has made to the Toronto East community; and, 
    • your relationship to the person.

Nominations should be submitted by April 30th. You will be advised by no later than May 9th if your nominee has been chosen to receive a Paul Harris Award.  

TERC will be holding an evening event (location to be finalized) on Thursday, May 30th to celebrate those nominated candidates who are chosen to receive a Paul Harris Award. 

We look forward to hearing from you.

Euchre Fun!

Friday night saw a record 80+ people attend the latest TERC Euchre Party.  It was a fun evening with drinks and great food provided by The Ellery.  Thank you to all who came!  Proceeds go towards our service work in our community.

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!
