The Rotary Club of Charlottetown Royalty meets every Wednesday morning at 7:15 a.m. at Rodd Charlottetown Hotel. Our Club held its charter meeting on June 13, 1987 with Tom Wilkinson as President. We tend to have lively, interesting meetings with great speakers who discuss a variety of topics.
As a service club [one of 35,000 Rotary clubs worldwide] we raise funds through various projects and use these funds to make improvements in Charlottetown and around the world. Our main fundraisers are the Business Advertising Supplement and the QEH Foundation Golf Tournament. 100% of proceeds raised from our activities go to local community and international projects.
Each year, thanks to the generosity of Bev Simpson and John Barrett of Veseys Seeds company, members sell approximately 150 boxes of flower bulbs which are provided to us free of charge by Veseys. The $3000-$4000 raised annually from these projects go directly to our Rotary International Foundation to be used in our world-wide Polio Eradication campaign.
Of course, as most will know, Rotary International has a significant investment in world youth and facilitates the one-year Rotary Youth Exchange program. Our club has consistently participated in this program for over 30 years by sponsoring at least one Island student going to another country each year. In addition, we accept an international student each year and provide them with host families, counselling, transportation, and members provide numerous activities throughout the year for our inbound student. This year we are delighted to have as Rotary Exchange Student Manuella Cabezas from Columbia, South America.
You are most welcome to join us on Wednesday mornings. If you would like to attend a meeting, to see what our meetings are like, send us an email.

The QEH requires 13 new scopes to ensure patients continue to receive optimal care, diagnosis and treatment.

The Rotary Club of Charlottetown Royalty held a 'Discover Rotary' meeting. Several guests, who have an interest in Rotary, were invited for a complementary breakfast meeting where information on Rotary and on our club was presented.

The Rotary Club of Charlottetown Royalty has sponsored a Rotaract Club at Holland College. According to the Rotary International website, "Rotaract clubs bring together people ages 18-30 to exchange ideas with leaders in the community, develop leadership and professional skills, and have fun through service. In communities worldwide, Rotary and Rotaract members work side by side to take action through service."

A donation for Australian bush fires relief was presented by President Gary Conohan to Louisa Horne, the District Governor of Rotary International District 7820 (which includes PEI, Nova Scotia, Newfoundland and Labrador and St. Pierre & Miquelon, France). Ms. Horne will work through Rotary channels to ensure that the funds get to where they need to go in Australia.

The club made a donation to Family Services PEI. Accepting the donation from Rotarian Bob Gray is Kathy Jones, Executive Director and Clinical Therapist at Family Services PEI.

The donation will go towards teen therapeutic counselling, particularly for transgender youth and others from the LGBTQ+ community.
For the past 30 years the club has produced a photographic business advertising supplement that is distributed throughout the province through the Island's major newspapers. Producing over 35,000 copies each year has virtually guaranteed distribution to every Island home.
