The Rotary Club of Exploits "uncorked the spirit of giving" during our Annual Something to Wine About Wine Tasting event.  To date our Rotary Club is proud to have given over $125,000 to community organizations and over $20,000 to international projects during the past 7 years.  Now in the 2019-2020 Rotary Year we have continued the spirit of giving again!
 
Thanks to the business community and local citizens who support our event each year in both Grand Falls-Windsor and the surrounding Central, NL region and beyond since 2012. Thank you to everyone who supported, sponsored and attended this event! You all helped us Uncork the Spirit of Giving in support of Lionel Kelland Hospice. Through your generous support we were able to surpass our fundraising goal. We were humbled and honored to present Lionel Kelland Hospice with a donation of $25,000.00 from this years wine event.
 
River the Ro-terrier was jumping for joy as they were pawsitvely beaming with excitement during the check presentation.  Our club would like to thank everyone who help make this a reality.  Too date we have donated over $100,000.00 to the Lionel Kelland Hospice.  The LKH will be the first of it's kind in Newfoundland and Labrador and we are proud to have supported this project.  Our community and province will benefit greatly for years to come.
 
Receiving organizations applied for funding through our community funding application!!  Any organization can apply for funding through this process through out the year.  We review applications on a quarterly basis.
