Joint Interact Rotaract Meeting
“The Rotary Club of St. Thomas hosted their joint Interact
and Rotaract meeting this evening. There were lots of
guests and some special furry guests as well. The St. Thomas
Interact club is famous for their “Pony Pooping Bingo which
they run every other year. They donate the profits to the
Children’s Hospital in London and have donated $20,000
over the years. In addition they give the local women’s
shelter Teddy Bears and volunteer for many other
community activities. Thank you for the fun games and for
sharing with us all you are doing. A wonderful evening”
Posted by District Governor Diane Chantler on Facebook.

University and began a career in education beginning as a teacher and culminating as Director of Education for
what is now the Thames Valley District School Board. Jack spent countless hours volunteering his time on
numerous boards of directors and was very active in Rotary.”

HAPPY FINS - Donations of $5 to The Rotary Foundation – Annual Programs Fund – credited to the donor in
