Tara gets a new pedestrian bridge, thanks to Tara RotaryWhile the need for a foot bridge had been a topic of conversation in the small community of Tara, Ontario for years, the hard work of the Tara Rotary Club, coupled with support from the community is what finally brought it to fruition. The former Ann Street Bridge, a car bridge that crossed the Sauble River to connect Ann Street with Park Road, washed out in 1948 following a particularly hard winter and subsequent flooding. |

Saving lives in Ghana![]() A highlight for the team was greeting the chief of Sagadugu. The team got excited about buying goats and food for children in the villages where I support eight churches. It was good to see the pastors of most of the eight churches, and I had to explain that we were just passing through on our way to Bolgatanga. |
Helping people with disabilities make their own music![]() Music has been an important part of leading an ordinary life for students at the Music School for Children With Disabilities in Honor of Paul Harris in Lublin, Poland. Founded by Rotary members, the school serves 20 students with various disabilities, including Down syndrome, autism, and visual impairments. The Rotary Club of Lublin-Centrum-Maria Curie-Sklodowska has provided funding with help from Rotary Foundation Matching Grants and the Henryk Wieniawski Musical Society, which houses the school. After their son Mateusz was born with underdeveloped eyes, Mariusz and Joanna Kania looked for ways to help him be active. When he showed an aptitude for music, they looked for a teacher and were thrilled to find the Paul Harris music school. |
