Giving Thanks
Submitted by Marina Hodson
As another Thanksgiving has come to a close, what is that you were thankful for? For many of us, this year may challenge us to find the things to celebrate, but there is always something to be thankful for if we take the time and effort to actually think about it. Appreciation can be as simple as “thank goodness I am finally out of turkey sandwiches” or as profound as “I am blessed to have wonderful people in my life”. Any amount of gratitude has been shown to have direct benefits to our physical and mental health, improve our sleep and self-esteem and overall improve our relationships. So try to get into the habit of focusing on at least one thing you are grateful for each and every day and here is one of mine to give you food for thought.
The Rotary Club of Fenelon Falls will mark historic progress toward a polio-free world while urging the community to help end the paralyzing disease

When Rotary and its partners launched the Global Polio Eradication Initiative in 1988, there were 350,000 cases of polio in 125 countries every year. We’ve made great progress against the disease since then. Today, polio cases have been reduced by 99.9 percent, and just two countries continue to report cases of wild poliovirus: Afghanistan and Pakistan. We remain committed to the end.
Rotary Club of Fenelon Falls Classic Car Draw Sells Out For First Time Since 2002
Submitted by Randy Johnson
The Rotary Club of Fenelon Falls Classic Car draw was a sell-out for the first time since 2002. We would like to take this opportunity to thank all who have made this year a success for us. We had to postpone the last 2 draws for $500.00 due to the Virus but we did make them with Gary Chambers from Port Dover, ONT and Gregory Turner from Conquerall Banks, NS each winning. We were able to hold the draw for the 1970 Dodge Challenger early this year due to the sell-out and Doug Simkins of Owen Sound, Ontario was the big winner. He was really happy to get the call late at night telling him he had won.

During this most difficult time, the Rotary Club of Fenelon Falls has suspended our regularly held Thursday evening meetings, but we have not gone away. We have made a donation to the Salvation Army Food Bank of $4,000.00 as well as a donation of $1,000.00 to the Kawartha Food Source, to help those in our community. The Rotary Classic Car Draw is also in suspension – however, we are still selling tickets.
