Message from the President
It is my pleasure to welcome you to the website of the Rotary Club of North York.
Please take a few moments exploring and learning about the activities and
opportunities for service our club offers.
If you are interested in giving back through volunteer service, I am interested in
meeting with you to explore how Rotary can meet your objectives. Our service is
based on high ethical standards, common interests and lasting friendships. We
support a number of local and international charities by our fundraising efforts
and hands-on service projects.
We meet Wednesday mornings. The first 3 weeks of the month we hold our
meetings on-line. The link is readily accessed by clicking on the invitation, just
above this message. The focus of these meetings is a speaker, providing insights
to many interesting and relevant topics. Project plans and details are explored.
The 4 th Wednesday of each month we meet over breakfast, usually with no stated
agenda except fellowship.
Follow the “contact us” tab for more information.
Thank you for your interest in Rotary, the world’s largest service club.
Gerald (Gerry) Francis,
President, Rotary Club of North York, 2025-26

Our Festive Fundraiser 2025
This past holiday season, for each donation of $20 or more supporters were given a bag of 15 homebaked shortbread cookies provided by 101temptations.com. They were great gift ideas for friends, colleges, family and tasty treats for entertaining.
Made with pure, fresh ingredients. Flavours to choose from were:
Chocolcate Chunk, Maple Pecan, or Plain
Thank you to all that donated last December raising almost $3,000
