Affectionately know as the Lynne/Christopher Tree Project
To celebrate Earth Day and Rotary’s new Environmental Area of Focus, fellow Rotarian Lynne Ternosky, a member of 6330 Passport ( our sponsor club) asked if we might accept the challenge of planting a few trees. We reached out to our members with the challenge. Before you know it, a few more funds were added and our International Service Chair Christopher organized the planting of 400 trees in and around a school in Kenya

They’re in bloom!!! We are excited to share pictures of the tulip garden that was planted by our member Pam Harrison and Rotary friends in Amherst, Nova Scotia.

Rotary Global Passport becomes a 100% Paul Harris Club as one of our founding members celebrates his 75th Birthday.
Happy Birthday Dr James/Jim and thank you for all you do for Rotary and the Rotary Foundation!! The world is truly a better place because of you!!
Dear Fellow Rotarians,
With a very heavy heart, I bring you the news of the passing of one of our founding members, Pam Harrison.
Pam will always be remembered for her passion to eradicate polio as well as for her dedication to international and community service.
Pam's contributions to make the world a better place over the years have been immense.
Since her joining District 6330 as a Global Passport member, Pam headed up the tulip fundraising campaign through her past club and district raising more than $175,000 including matched funds for TRF's Polio fund. As part of this, she created a tulip garden in Nova Scotia for our club. She introduced us to the Walk Around the World, which advocates for polio eradication and gets us moving. During the pandemic, she has spent tireless hours making approximately 2000 face masks for her local school children, community and for projects as far away as Kenya and the DR. She is also a club builder; helping us design a new kind of Rotary.
Please keep Pam's family in your thoughts and prayers and let's complete our Walk Around the World in her memory.
Love to all,
Tanya
Pres/PDG Rotary Club of Global Passport (6330)

Our members are learning from a pro. Fellow global passport member James is a master gardener.
This was re-landscaping project at the Octagon House. This building houses the offices of the 4 County Community Foundation in Almont, Michigan. The project was completed in partnership with The Youth Advisor Committee (YAC).
Organizing your own Rotary project:
1. Identify a community project needing help.
2. Make a list of materials and equipment needed.
3. Pick a time.
4. Ask for help.
5. Brand it by wearing something that says Rotary.
Congratulations and Welcome!!

Members of the provisional club of Global Passport are People of Action!!
One member launched a Facebook page called Seniors needing Necessities during Coronavirus, which now has more than 100 volunteers from across Windsor-Essex Ontario, Canada who volunteer their time to shop for and donate supplies to the elderly.
Another volunteers with the Canadian Red Cross helping to repatriate Canadians. At least two others are making masks for those in need in their local communities. Another provided needed supplies to help make masks. Others are partnering with Rotary Club of District 6330 Passport in a COVID 19 project providing face shields to front line workers.
In other parts of the world, Global Passport members are treating patients in their work as front line medical personnel, partnering with food banks to deliver groceries and supplying much needed equipment to battle Covid 19.
It just goes to show that we don’t need to be physically together to be in this together!
On Earth Day, April 22 2020, we challenged our club members to plant a tree to honour and celebrate our environment. Each member is invited to plant a tree wherever they live in the world, whenever possible in the next several months. Our Global Passport member Carolyn Ferguson rose to the challenge and her results are pictured above.
Meet Juan Uribe. He lives with 59 other boys under the age of 18 at Casa de Proteccion al Menor Senderos (House of Protection of Children) orphanage in Zaragoza, Colombia.
One of our members met Juan a year ago while on a Rotary project fair trip. Connecting with local Rotarians, they built a much needed outdoor classroom. It is a simple cement pad with a metal roof that keeps the hot sun off of the boys; to enable a better situation for both formal classroom instruction and recreational activities.
Recently, this same Rotarian brought fellow club members to see the project. Juan’s grateful smile and the smile on the face of our Rotarian, created a ‘call to action’ for the visitors. We were inspired by the transformation that the classroom is having on the lives of the boys. We are currently in the process of providing 15 computers and are refurbishing an office area so that residents have a place to meet privately with visiting health professionals.
Juan’s smile is one of gratefulness and excitement…and with 2020 Vision, he sees a bright future. This is the smile that encouraged us to be “People of Action”.
Together we Transform!
Our first FUNraiser for Rotary Global Passport was a success with the partnership of 16 other Rotary Clubs in District 6330 through the East Coast Kitchen Party.
