I'm writing today from sunny but chilly central Newfoundland. In my travels this week, I drove by two Rotary parks in Grand-Falls Windsor and Gander, reminding me how we are connected with some many Rotary Clubs in our district and world! The Cobb's Pond Rotary Park was featured in this year's “Amazing Race Canada” Gander episode.

Special shout out to Rotarians Sharon Niles, David Maynard, David Close, Maria Mutch, Roberto Palma Balarezo, Lisa Gallagher, Brian MacDonald, and Allen MacLellan, who all helped a member of our local Ukrainian community with shuttle services for cancer treatments and appointments.  Special thanks goes to Eric Mourant for bringing this to the Club members and coordinating this service.

Below is a letter of appreciation we received from the Ukrainian Association of Moncton.
