Our event begins at 11am, On the 2nd floor of the Koffler house, 569 Spadina.
Like Oasis, the Rotary Club provides a way for people to get engaged in their communities. Whereas the Oasis network is a relatively new organization, the Rotary Club has been around for a very long time. Our featured speaker, Peter Thoem, has been a member of Rotary for 30 years. He will talk about the origins of Rotary, its credo and how it has grown over 100+ years. He will share his personal experiences with Rotary and the experiences of any individual member of Rotary.
Peter Thoem is a 35-year resident of downtown Burlington. Now retired, he is a keen observer and writer about natural history. He finds fulfilment in volunteering, putting in countless hours on local and international Rotary projects as well as at the Royal Botanical Gardens. He has undertaken studies on bird populations in Uganda and Kazakhstan as well as at various bird observatories in Ontario. He served a term as a Burlington City Councillor from 2006 to 2010. Peter and Ruth have three grown children and five young grandsons..
Our featured musician will be Noble Sobel. Through the process of discovery and decision we realize our true potential and the impact we can have on all things around us. Inspired by the infinite journey of self-discovery, and driven by a passion to connect and uplift, Noble Sobel is here to move you to dance, or move you to tears… maybe both!
