The Rotary Club of St. John’s After Hours hosts its official charter event on Friday, to become the forty-seventh Rotary club in the District and the sixth in St. John’sStella Roy, District Governor of Rotary District 7820 will officially swear in the 28 members of the new club as official Rotarians.
The Rotary Club of St. John’s After Hours meets downtown on Tuesday evenings from 5:30 to 6:30pm. Unlike most Rotary meetings, After Hours meetings are not held during work hours and don’t involve a meal. Members can be home in time to eat supper with their families.
Rotary Club of St John's After Hours members seek to play a hands-on role in the community. The club’s flagship project for the 2015-2016 year is the Buckmaster’s Circle Community Centre. So far, After Hours members have provided furniture for six families living in Buckmaster’s Circle, including one that lost its belongings in a house fire, and they are currently building a new preschool playground.The photo shows RI past President Ron Burton giving the new club's charter to incoming President, Amy Tulk and Incoming Secretary, Esteban Rivera
