Rotary Centennial did it again!
Welcome Back!
Serving over 700 veggie and beef burgers, Rotary Centennial helped celebrate "Welcome Back at our Connaught School".
Students (grades 1-6), parents  teachers and volunteers were having so much fun they never noticed the 31 degree temperature. The burgers, chips, oranges and cookies all helped to make the day a success.
We are pleased to have the opportunity to serve and partner with Connaught School.
 
 
 
 
Variety Car Build
This past July 2024, our club had the pleasure of partnering with Variety – the Children’s Charity of Alberta to sponsor and build a remote-controlled car for a child who had a physical handicap.  Centennial  Rotary has had the pleasure to be part of the magic for two other car builds over the past few years.  Each car build is unique and special for all involved.
