RTW's 16th Annual Scotch Nosing
RTW's 16th Annual Scotch Nosing

Our annual Scotch Nosing, held at the Lambton Golf and Country Club, is an excellent way to learn about whiskies from different regions of Scotland, enjoy a delicious 5 course meal, win some excellent prizes and raise money for a worthy charity.

 
This year's fundraising was for Sleeping Children Around the World, a non-profit organization that has distributed more than a million bed kits to protect children from mosquito-borne infections since 1970.  
 
The images below will give you just a hint of what this fun and fantastic party was all about.  Be sure to join us next year!
 
 
 
 
RTW, Days For Girls and TAGI are changing lives in Uganda
RTW, Days For Girls and TAGI are changing lives in Uganda

Club President, Daphine Marunga, recently provided an update on the work of her Uganda-centred charity known as The Amara Girls Initiative (TAGI).  An ongoing project in conjunction with Days For Girls and the support of the Rotary Club of Toronto West (RTW) has focused on providing menstrual kits and improved hygiene facilities that enable girls to stay in school.

 
In many countries, schools do not have adequate safe hygiene facilities and feminine hygiene products are not readily available or affordable.  Girls feel obligated to stay at home during their periods.  They fall behind in their school work and some will drop out of school.  When girls struggle to attain a basic education, their difficulties have broad impacts.
