Springwater Township Rotary Club celebrates its Chartering

Last evening the members of the Rotary Club of Springwater Township celebrated the Club's recent charting at a lovely celebratory event with a number of Rotarian guests, Community dignitaries and family members present.   Stephen Wilkinson was the Master of Ceremonies and has been working with this club since it's inception in the capacity of Club Extension Co-ordinator.  Steve has been fondly titled this Club's "Godfather". 

A few Rotary Dignitaries
Wilf Wilkinson, a Trustee of The Rotary Foundation and a past Rotary International President was the guest speaker.  He focused on some of the experiences he had as he traveled abroad with Rotary and where  Rotary is in today's world.  MP Helena Guergis, MPP Jim Wilson, MPP Garfield Dunlop and Deputy Mayor Dan McLead all brought greetings from their constituents and their offices.  President Brenda Stanley received the Charter document, the Club's bell, gavel and banner on behalf of all the members.  In turn all charter members and 5 other recently admitted members were given a certificate, name tag and a folder of Rotary Information.
