We are thrilled to introduce you to the 2024 Kindness Award winner. You may not know her name, but on your travels around Thornbury you most certainly know who she is. The women who in all kinds of weather, rides her scooter with a beaming smile of her face, always on a mission to her next act of Kindness.
Kindness is a type of behavior marked by acts of generosity, consideration, caring, friendly, rendering assistance, or concern for others, without expecting praise or reward in return.
Joan Gaudet is that woman, and our 4th Annual Thornbury Clarksburg Rotary Kindness Award Winner. You now know her name!
Thanks to the kindness of our community, funds raised for the Moreau Park - Kindness at Play project are growing.
club, she was already well known to it as the go-to person for printing and graphic design. That
role has continued over the years but it belies the many other contributions she has made to
the club and to the community at large during that time.
Rotarian Linda’s name has become synonymous with Riverside Press and The Review. The latter
is a voice for many community members as well as a valued source of information about what’s
going on in our community following the closure of the town’s newspaper. Not one to speak
publicly or “toot her own horn”, it was through a single one liner in the town’s News and
Notices section of The Review that members of the club became aware that Rotarian Linda had
been awarded The Blue Mountains Community Builder Award (age 26+) in April of this year.
Frequently, Rotarians have a “pet project” within Rotary. It might be water or sanitation projects, or literacy, or Youth Exchange or local projects. From the many good works that Rotary does in the world, we all have one or two that really “turn our crank”. For Thornbury-Clarksburg Rotary’s 2023-24 Club President, John Bailey, it is ShelterBox, the disaster relief organization associated with Rotary that provides shelter and basic needs in disaster areas all over the world. In fact, it was ShelterBox that attracted John to Rotary!!
...and now John has been recognized with ShelterBox Canada's All Star Award...
To support T-C Rotary’s tent, table and chair rental fundraiser, a maintenance crew is needed from time to time to repair and clean out the trailers used to deliver these items and periodically make sure the tables and chairs are cleaned for the season.
T-C Rotary recently made a donation to assist the Owen Sound Rotary Club in renovating the kitchen at Camp Presqu’ile. Many youth from TBM have enjoyed summer camp here over the past many years.
