Hamilton AM members were treated on November 19 to an unusual and innovative program called Cycling Without Age.  This program, uses “trishaw bikes”, driven by experienced volunteers called “Pilots” to take seniors and the disabled on bike rides in both Hamilton and Burlington.  The organization’s Mission is “to bring mobility and joy to elderly and immobile people through the experience of cycling in trishaw bikes”  Pictured below is Club President Don Grennan and Nancy Gray and Mike Moulden from Cycling Without Age.

 

 

At the Hamilton AM November 12 morning meeting we were honoured to hear from Joanne Serkeyn, who is the District 9090 District Governor Elect and from the Rotary Club of Lincoln.

 

Joanne’s topic was the Rotary Action Group Against Slavery.  Rotary has many RAG’s but this one is especially important to Joanne given her past employment with the Hamilton Police Service dealing with issues of missing persons and mental health.  She educated club members about the appalling extent of human trafficking and slavery in North Americal, including in our own backyard.
Joanne is a member of the Rotary Actin Group Against slavery and encouraged all club members to learn more by reading information available at “http//ragas.online”.
