The Rotary Club of Port Perry, in our endless pursuit of community care and do gooding, make
the following unfortunate and necessary announcements:
Due to the Covid 19 Virus, we are canceling our Rotary Spring Gala and the Port Perry Rotary
Waterfront Ribfest for 2020.
The Gala, held annually for the past 11 years, has raised over $400,000. We have every
expectation to resume our Spring Gala in 2021.
This year’s Port Perry Waterfront Ribfest was scheduled for the last weekend of July (24th,25th
and 26th). The current government projections are that self distance restrictions will likely still be
in place until August or September. Out of an abundance of care for our community and
partners, we have elected to cancel this event now and begin our preparation for 2021. We will
certainly miss the opportunity to celebrate with our town in our mid-summer festival. Since
inception, the Ribfest has raised over $200,000.
We realize the health and economic impact of the Covid 19 crisis is extreme. To help where we
can, we have donated $10,000 to Operation Scugog, our local food bank. We hope this will help
provide assistance during this crisis to those in need, and impacted by this disaster. We have
also donated $2000 to Community Care Durham (Scugog) to help with a new food packaging
and distribution program.
As we make these difficult decisions to cancel our fundraising efforts and pledge what we can to
assist our neighbours, we would certainly like to do more. If you find you have the ability to help
financially, please do. You might donate to either of the two noble institutions: Operation Scugog
or Community Care Durham (Scugog). You can also send funds to our Rotary Club and we will
find a way to help our community further. Donations made to the Rotary Club will receive a
charitable receipt. Please include your name, address, and phone number on all donations.

Dear Rotary Club members
Attached are a few photos for you. After 5 1/2 years of fundraising, I'm overwhelmed of the reality here. "WE ACTUALLY HAVE A SKATEBOARD PARK"!! The kids are loving every minute of it - even in the dark. Mother Nature has been so good to us this year! They love it!! This would not have happened without your generous donation.
We had a minor unveiling on Friday, Dec. 4th for the locals, but please do not feel left out. We are planning on a Grand Opening on Sat., May 14th, 2016. We will keep you posted of details.
Also, we entered a float in the Port Perry Santa Claus parade this past Sat., thanking the community for their support.
Will keep in touch regarding our grand opening.
Merry Christmas and all the very best in the New Year to you and your families!
Susie

Dear Fellow Rotarians, We’re delighted to report that [today] Nigeria has passed one year with no new cases of the wild poliovirus. This is the longest the country has ever gone without a case of polio and a critical step on the path toward a polio-free Africa. We’ve come a long way since the bleak years when the virus reached its peak. It was only a decade ago that polio struck 12,631 people in Africa- three quarters of all cases in the world.

President’s Message
June 2015
For these past twelve months, I have had the pleasure of serving the members of The Rotary Club of Port Perry and the community of Port Perry in many ways, and, have enjoyed every minute of the journey. I would like to thank all the members for their help in seeing that our fund raising and projects were successfully completed. Beginning next month, Robert Keeler will take over the presidency of the club and I am sure he will bring new and exciting ideas to the job.
During June we will be meeting at Crabby Joe’s, ending a three year stay. July 1st is Canada Day so there will be no meeting. During June, there will be one Wednesday, June 17th, when we will have a fun evening with our spouses and potential new members at Windreach Farms. The festivities will start at 6:00 pm going to 8:00 pm, during which time, we will eat, enjoy live music and tour the facility at Windreach.
At our club forum on June 3rd the membership of the club approved the donation of $10,000.00 to Caesarea Skate Park For Kids. Karl Herder will have the pleasure of presenting the cheque to Susie Bollon to be used for the construction of the Park.
Beginning July 8, our club will begin meeting at Sunnybrae Golf Club under the direction of Robert Keeler.

This past month has been crazy full as will my next month be, I guess this happens at the end of the year.
I have spent a lot a lot a lot of time with my friends here. There have also been way too many school free days in the last month, frankly I don't even know why we even go to school in May. So I spent the first weekend of May celebrating the day the church in my village was made holy. It was a crazy weekend of fun. I learnt a lot about the culture of the little villages all around Germany. There was a lot of dancing. The next weekend I went to yet another festival in a different village because they were celebrating the day that the duke (I think it was a duke) decided that the peasants of the village owned the forest. The whole thing was in a forest. The day before that I was in a neighbouring city visiting a girl who plans to go to canada next year who needed help. But first she showed me around the city (even though I've been there like 40 times already) it was cool to see how the people who actually live there feel about it though. And we had a barbecue which is really typical for my area of Germany. I then went to the capital of my state for a small exchange student get together. Yet another few days of fun. And I went to a confirmation the next day (that weeken was really full). What is really cool about the culture in Germany is that at 14 either you get confirmed with the church or you have a "jugendfeier" which is celebrating the coming of age of an atheist and it's actually almost the same thing outside of the fact that there's no 2 hour church ceremony, I was at one of those two weeks later, also cool. I also spent a few days in a town called smalkalden with my rotary club. There we saw the state garden show for the year (my rotary club is really into it because my town is hosting it in 2017) Other personal fun activity highlights of this last month are, kayaking with my family, driving 347 km/h on the autobahn, and learning how to make proper thuringer klöse.
My host family situation could not be described as anything other than excellent. They are actually the perfect family living in the perfect area. I was supposed to switch another time but my yeo is now letting me stay until the end here. Which is really excellent because of how great this family is. I have two brothers, but one of them is thirty so he's more like the cool uncle who once in a while gives me money for food. And the other brother is 16 and in my class at school so it's really easy to get along with. He even introduce me to all of his friends in our little village who are now my friends and he ha no problems with that. The mum is also really sweet, she's constantly cracking jokes and making me laugh, the dad as we'll. he's a really big Rolling Stones fan and likes to talk a lot about them but it's really nice.
In school it's been really boring. I still don't really have a proper class but I've made friends in every class that I have so it's really not a problem that I'm switching grade levels all the time. The real problem is that it's just boring. The teachers don't particularly care what I do and don't usually bother to let me work with the class (not printing enough papers etc.) bug most of the teachers are really nice. I still hae a private German lesson every week and my teacher is super sweet. Because I really don't have much to learn any more we spend most of our time just talking in German. Today for example we just walked around my city and talked about its history. There really isn't much for me to do in school which kinda sucks but I don't mind cause at least I see most of my friends there.
I've recently been having problems with my bank in Canada. But I think that is now almost completely sorted out. Tomorrow I get the bank card from my counsellor and the rest shouldn't be a problem. Other than that I'm really problem free.
I've decided I'm really going to use every last minute I have here because I'm really going to miss it but that slowly getting really stressful but at this point I wouldn't have it any other way :)
Liebe Gruße,
Kylie Santella
