Rotary promised children a healthy, polio-free future... and we’re almost there – 99.9% to be exact. But we can’t stop now.

This World Polio Day, show your financial support and help us spread the word because polio anywhere is a threat to children everywhere.

Our Guest Speaker for Monday, October 28, 2024 is Trent University Professor and Media Election Commentator David Sheinin who will speak about the upcoming U.S. presidential election on November 5, 2024.

With six authored books, six edited books, 31 articles, 20 chapters in books, and countless media appearances, Prof. Sheinin is a sought-after expert on a broad range of topics. His research focus is on Latin American history which has led to wide-ranging field work, mostly in the form of interviews with Argentina’s Indigenous peoples, with political criminals from Argentina’s dictatorship in high security prisons, or with former boxers in some of the worst slums in Colombia. His work has been influential to the development of the field of modern Argentine history, specifically the history of human rights, international relations, and the Cold War experience in Latin America.

Sunday, November 3, 2024. 3 - 5 pm.

A fun inclusive event for Rotarians & their families & friends! Minimum age 9 years. All four local Rotary clubs are invited to participate: Peterborough, Peterborough Kawartha (PK), Bridgenorth Ennismore Lakefield (BEL), and Rotaract.

Axe-throwing instruction & coaching provided (it's really a hatchet you throw). It is a safe sport, where you are throwing in shielded "cages" or stalls. Closed-toed shoes are a must.

One of Peterborough's fun-est forms of entertainment, axe-throwing is perfect for males and females (women are often more accurate than the men).

The afternoon will be a friendly supervised tournament, until one overall champion is crowned. The champion gets a prestigious trophy (donated by Ken Tremblay) and a free return visit to the Axe Club. The champion gets to keep the trophy until next year's tournament. Last year's winner was Scott from BEL Club (again).

Cost: $35 per person, plus tax, payable at the door. The Axe Club is licensed, and also serves non-alcoholic beverages & snacks.

Location: Peterborough Axe Club, 280 Perry Street, Unit # 1, Peterborough.
