New Projects
Our club, like all service clubs, is always receiving requests for support for community and international projects. Our latest decision to support a community project is to partner with the Comox Valley Rotary clubs of Courtenay, Comox and Strathcona Sunrise to raise money over the next three years to help build a $2 Million hospice centre as partners of the Comox Valley Hospice Society. Our club has committed to providing $30,000 to this project during the next three years. Support by our club members is so strong that eleven Cumberland Rotarians pledged $1,000.00 each in addition at the meeting that approved this project. In addition to this project, our club has committed to helping provide much needed equipment to the ParaMedic Volunteer Bike Squad in the form of an Automated Electronic Defibrillator and several sets of rain gear. Another community project we will help with is a drama program at the Cumberland Community School.
