Official Visit to Moose Country--Chapleau, Ontario

Today on our way through to Chapleau, we experienced a rare sighting of a white moose grazing quietly in the ditch by the side of the road.  We were later told by local Rotarians that this was rare as most had never seen one but knew that a few exist in the Foleyet area.

This afternoon we visited some of the projects of the Chapleau Rotary Club.  To the left is the fish tank they bought for the children's section of the public library as part of a literacy project supported by a District Simplified Grant.  This is a program where young children come to the library for the children to read to the fish or else be read to by their parents & caregivers in front of the fish. 

This evening following the executive meeting and the official visit a photograph was taken of the members of the Chapleau Rotary Club together with DG Dawn and George.  Tomorrow there will be more project visits.  This is a small but very community oriented and committed Club!
