Garden Upgrade at Rotary Manor
Posted on Jul 01, 2022
We were honoured to host our Rotary International President, Ms. Jennifer Jones, at one of our clubs biggest projects, Northwest Rotary Housing Inc. over the July 1st weekend. The visit to St. John’s marked the start of her Imagine Rotary Canadian Tour. Northwest Rotary Housing Inc. provides housing to low income seniors, single parents, and people with disabilities.
 
Members from our club welcomed other Rotarians and Rotaract members from across our beautiful district to Rotary Manor to plant a new flower bed in the back and do some weeding and clean up of the perennials in front of the building. The residents of Rotary Manor were delighted with the transformation.
