This Halloween, while others are trick-or-treating for candy, we’re out there treating kids in our community to better opportunities, stronger support, and brighter futures.

We’ve been around since 1913, but don’t worry — we’re not haunting the past. We’re alive, well, and full of energy (and maybe a little pumpkin spice).

Happy Thanksgiving from your friendly neighbourhoo Happy Thanksgiving from your friendly neighbourhood Pilgrim… and current President of the Rotary Club of Hamilton! 🦃

Yes, that’s me in the photo — long before Vacu-Man cleaned ducts, I was handing out turkeys across Hamilton when 900 CHML and Y95 were running the “Turkey Giveaway.” I may have been 50 pounds lighter, but my commitment to serving the community hasn’t changed a bit (just the outfit has).

This Thanksgiving, I’m grateful for the people who make a difference — our Rotary members, our volunteers, and everyone who gives back to Hamilton year after year. Whether we’re lighting the Christmas Tree of Hope, running Operation Santa Claus, or helping kids through the Rotary Children’s Fund, it’s all about community, laughter, and a little hard work.

So from my family, my fellow Rotarians, and the entire Vacu-Man crew — have a happy, healthy, and dust-free Thanksgiving!
