Our Sponsors and Thank YouRotary Club We would like to acknowledge the Rotary Club in Mississauga-Meadowvale for sponsoring 3rd Meadowvale Scouts for so many years. Through their generosity and support, we have been able to scouting initiatives which were otherwise not possible.
Rotary club membership represents a cross-section of the community's business and professional men and women. The world's Rotary clubs meet weekly and are nonpolitical, nonreligious, and open to all cultures, races, and creeds. The main objective of Rotary is service — in the community, in the workplace, and throughout the world. Rotarians develop community service projects that address many of today's most critical issues, such as children at risk, poverty and hunger, the environment, illiteracy, and violence. They also support programs for youth, educational opportunities and international exchanges for students, teachers, and other professionals, and vocational and career development. The Rotary motto is Service Above Self. Although Rotary clubs develop autonomous service programs, all Rotarians worldwide are united in a campaign for the global eradication of polio. In the 1980s, Rotarians raised US$240 million to immunize the children of the world; by 2005, Rotary's centenary year and the target date for the certification of a polio-free world, the PolioPlus program will have contributed US$500 million to this cause. In addition, Rotary has provided an army of volunteers to promote and assist at national immunization days in polio-endemic countries around the world. Thank You In addition to our sponsor, the Rotary Club, there are both individuals and businesses which help our group along the way. We acknowledge and thank them here. We also encourage you to support the local businesses and individuals that help make Scouting in our community possible.
