Twenty-six Rotarians, significant others and guests attended the dedication of one of our Sitting Rocks at the St. Catharines Hospital site Clarice West Hobbs Contemplative Garden to honour long-time member Bob Morningstar on May 21, 2025 at Mr Mikes Steakhouse. The family was represented by Bob’s brothers Scott and Dan along with Bob’s friends Josie and Debbie. Garden Chair Eric read out a brief history of Bob’s time in Rotary and presented the family with a photo collage of Bob (including his Paul Harris Award from 2014 and glory days at the Lobsterfest Salad Bar); of the installed plaque on his rock and a “view from the Rock” of the Garden.
Marlene’s prayers to the rain gods were heard at Sobeys 400 Scott Street, St Catharines. The rain held off on May 30th as teams of Rotarians collected, transported and sorted donations of food and cash for Food4Kids. The drive ran from 10:00-6:00 pm with packing and sorting continuing at Cushman Rd until 6:30 or so. We raised an estimated $4500.00 in food and cash donations. As Marlene put it “Long day but very rewarding”. Thanks to all who participated.
