The second run in a series of 12, the Rotary club showed up early and met a group of community athletes, volunteers, sponsors, city staff and the crew from the Niagara 2022 games. Pictured here our Satellite group is hanging out at the start line with Shelly the official mascot of the games.
The Rotary Club of Niagara Falls Sunrise annually donates four scholarships to students from Saint Michael Catholic High School and Stamford Collegiate. Each of these recipients have demonstrated the elements of our Rotary Motto of Service Above Self. They have been selected by their school. Instead of the required 40 hours of volunteering to their community each student have recorded hundreds of hours to their school and / or local community. They do this in addition to maintaining academic success. Their path to success will continue for each student: (left to right)
From Stamford Collegiate:
- Amelia Upper: Environment Sustainability at the University of Waterloo
- Jacob O'Connor: Civil Engineering University of Waterloo
From Saint Michaels
- Hanna Cukierski: Sports Management and Communications at Niagara University
- Josh Post: Electrical Engineering at Niagara College then a Bachelor of Engineering at Thompson Rivers University
We all wished them continued success in the future, but we did remind them that Rotaract Clubs can be found in all the communities they are going to, letting them continue the role of "Service Above Self".
