Edmonton Rotarians bring Christmas to schools

Rotary's best-known motto, "Service above Self" certainly applies to two Edmonton Rotary Clubs that are providing hot Christmas lunches at two of our socially vulnerable schools, Brightview and Calder.

The Tradition Continues at Brightview School - The Mayfield Rotary Club will be hosting the 12th Annual Turkey Dinner at Brightview School on Wednesday, December 8. There will be two sittings for the 187 students, 11:30 a.m. and 12 noon. Students and staff will enjoy a full course turkey dinner with all the fixings. Santa will also be visiting each classroom to drop off goodie bags for the children.

A gift to Calder School - On Wednesday, December 8 at 11:30 a.m., the Glenora Rotary Club is generously providing a complete Christmas turkey lunch to 180 students and staff at Calder School. The luncheon comes complete with a visit from Santa and treat bags for all the students.

In addition to this annual event, the Rotary Club also supports the school's snack program.
