Rotary Club of Whitby Easter Seals and Children's Charity Golf Tournament
Thursday, September 2, 2010, 11:00 AM
On behalf of the Rotary Club of Whitby, we would like to invite you participate in our 16th annual Children's Charity Golf Tournament to be held on September 2nd, 2010 at the Oakridge Golf Club in Ashburn, Ontario. Together with our corporate sponsors and all of the golfers, we hope to again raise $20,0000 for Easter Seals, youth initiatives and literacy programs in our community. Last year, we reduced the registration fee and sponsorship requirements because of recessionary times. This year we are maintaining those prices in the hopes that we can count, once again, on everyone’s support.

Whitby Rotary's annual golf tournament has developed an enviable reputation for its fun, fellowship, and friendly camaraderie. Consider inviting some friends to make up a foursome and come play golf with Whitby Rotarians while, at the same time, help to raise funds for the Club’s local and international children's projects!

Watch a video from last year's event.

To register, simply click on the registration form. Complete the form and fax as per instructions.

To participate as a sponsor, please click on Sponsorship Menu and select your choice.

You may also contact Jeff Callery at 905-430-7444 or Grant Souter at 905-668-2179 for further information.

Thank you and we look forward to seeing you on September 2, 2010

Special Rotary Meeting to honour Past RI President Wilfrid Wilkinson
Tuesday, June 15, 2010, 7::00 AM
Wilfrid Wilkinson, a Trenton, Ontario Rotarian, was the first Canadian Rotary International President in 50 years. A highly respected forensic accountant by profession, Wilf truly lives the Rotary mottoes, Service Above Self and They Profit Most Who Serve Best. The Rotary Club of Whitby is proud to dedicate a special monument in Wilf's honour. It is to be found in the garden of the Whitby Public Library by the Club's Presidents' Walkway to be renamed officially on June 15, 2010 Wilkinson Way. All 75 Whitby Rotary Presidents' names are to be found one each on a paving stone of the walkway. As well, a monument to commemorate 100 years of the Rotary movement in 2005 sits opposite the one for Wilf. Whitby Rotarians and special guests will join together at their Rotary breakfast meeting at the Whitby Public Library on June 1, 2010 at 7 a.m. to welcome and honour Wilf
