The R.C. of St. Catharines South will be hosting this year's joint meeting of Rotary members in Niagara. The meeting will be held on Zoom, April 8, at noon.
We are pleased to have as our guest speaker, Adam Shoalts, a native of Niagara, and explorer of northern Canada's wilds. The Toronto Star describes Adam as "... Canada's Indiana Jones --- portaging in the north, dodging scary rapids, plunging into darkness, and surviving to tell the tale." The Hamilton Spectator calls him "... this century's explorer." Adam's first book, Alone Against The North: An Expedition Into The Unknown, "...is both humorous and honest, and at times intensely gripping" according to the St. Catharines Standard. His other books are: Beyond the Trees: A Journey Alone Across Canada's Arctic; A History of Canada in Ten Maps; and yet to be published The Whisper On The Night Wind: The True Story of a Wilderness Legend. More information and videos can be found on his website https://adamshoalts.com/literature/ R.C. St. Catharines South will be purchasing one of Adam's books for each of the 5 high schools we support (that we provide Rotary Medals for). We are asking all Niagara clubs to similarly buy his books for the High Schools that your club supports. His book, A History of Canada in Ten Maps, is an easy read of 1,000 years of Canada's history. The books can be purchased at most book stores, and on-line, through his website. We will arrange for a book signing, that South club will assist; (if necessary due to Covid, we will pick up the books you have purchased, take them to Adam for signing, then return to you.) Since there will be no meal cost this year, we are asking all those attending to make a $25 donation to the Charity account of the Rotary Club of St. Catharines, South. Tax receipts will be issued, as long as you include the name and street address where you want the receipt to be sent. There are 3 ways to make the $25 donation, see below.
