Stirling Rotary is seeking items for their annual Giant Yard Sale
Terry Vollum For PostMedia Although we are currently enjoying mostly wonderful, summer weather, Stirling Rotarians are suggesting that you might take a little time to do some spring-cleaning. And so as you tidy up the garage, the basement, a spare room or even a storage shed, you might consider this relatively effortless task as an opportunity to help a worthy cause. |
Rotary Resources
The goal for the presentation is to provide you with some online tools that will help you be a better Rotarian and also help you with your personal development.

Community Cupboard On-Line Auction
The Rotary Club of Stirling was approached by the the Community Cupboard/Food bank several years ago, to assist them with their Christmas baskets. At the time is was understood that year there were 75 families locally needing help. We were shocked that our little village had so many families needing help so we offered to put together an online auction to raise the funds. Rotarian Terry Vollum has been a huge help gathering items and more recently Beckie Sarles-Davis has also joined the team. The first year we may have only had 25 items and it has grown to almost 100 this year. All the items are donated by generous local business owners and Rotarians.

Full Steam Ahead
In the year 2002, the Rotary Club of Stirling was searching for its next worthwhile community project. Following their weekly meeting, the members of the club walked over to the old Stirling Railway Station which sat neglected in an isolated spot, midway between Highway 14 and the Campbellford Road. It was built in 1879 and had become a boarded up, derelict building on a collapsing foundation.
