Rotary Club of Corner Brook sponsored university student Kate Sanders to perform in CB Nuit on September18-20 2020.This Corner Brook musical theatre student studying at St. Lawrence College, Brockville, performed on each evening of the CB Nuit Virtual Festival. In each intuitive dance performance she selected random emotions that corresponded to a feeling or piece of music and immediately created an intuitive dance using her own choreography. Each performance was different and it was compelling to watch her interpretation. The Club is proud to have sponsored such a talented and creative artist and we wish her well in her future career
On July 5th, three members of the Deer Lake RCMP (Cpl. Elizabeth Lodge, Cst. Guy Boudreau and Rotarian Cst. Jensen Stanley) hiked Gros Morne on one of their days off. However, Cpl. Lodge had always expressed an interest in wearing the red Serge at the top of Gros Morne.
There was no way Cst. Boudreau and Cst. Stanley were going to miss out on the chance to wear their red Serges with pride in one of the most beautiful locations in the Country. This they all did. Thanks to Jensen for this iconic photo
Dear Community Face Mask Sewers
On behalf of the Rotary Club of Corner Brook I want to thank you for your significant contribution to the club’s project to provide face masks, for use at a senior’s home. Due to the urgent need at the time, your willingness to rush the making of the masks is greatly appreciated and no doubt helped in keeping the cases of covid-19 lower than otherwise possible.
The project provided our club with over $17,00.00, allowing us to support annual programs of the club such as Sea Cadets, Music Festival, Adventure in Citizenship and Rotary Arts Centre and Kids Eat Smart to name just a few. In fact, without this successful project we would not have been able to support our programs in the coming year.
Once again, our thanks for your willing support of these local programs which otherwise would have been a significant loss to our community.
Regards,
Martin Steele on behalf of the Rotary Club of Corner Brook

In July, Rotary Clubs in Districts 7820 and 7810 sold boxes of tulip bulbs provided by Vesey Seeds, PEI. Monies made will be given to the End Polio Now Fund to help eradicate world polio. The Corner Brook Club was one of the best district sellers with 164 boxes sold. Bulbs will be received in September and planted on or before World Polio Day, October 24th.
