Upcoming Events
Member Gerry Francis gave a presentation to RCNY in September of 2020 based on research he compiled on the racial strife we witnessed earlier that year. His talk entitled Black Lives Matter supported by visual aids is a cursory review of race history in North America from slavery to the present day. This address was well received and resulted in presentations to 2 other non-rotarian groups. Additionally, in the near future, he will speak to The Rotary Club of Willowdale (Jan. 21st at 12:30 pm) and Rotary Club of Toronto Skyline (Feb. 2nd at 7 pm). Contact these clubs if you'd like to join their meetings for Gerry's presentation.
