Pictures posted daily on our Facebook page. HealthOutreachFacebook ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dec 19, 2018 The Health Outreach 14th Annual Poker Tournament last Friday was another success. The turn-out was the largest in the history of the tournament with 33 players vying for top Prizes and Honours in this longstanding event. Although prizes were great, most players expressed a desire to support a great cause more than anything. Health Outreach is appealing because all proceeds go to the missions planned in January and February. Old and new players came together for an evening of fun and camaraderie in a very professional setting for Texas hold’em poker. Our new venue, Simply Delicious Restaurant and Banquet hall in Markham, provided us the space and service to hold a comfortable event. Health Outreach which raised over $7000 for “Guatemala 2019”, our next humanitarian dental project . The timing is perfect too as we are preparing for five weeks of mission work in both Guatemala and Honduras. The funds will be used to help purchase a gas power compressor necessary to run dental equipment in the field.

He reported on the Rotary Dental Boat renovation project, carried out by a Health Outreach dental team this past February. Two Rotary clubs and Rotary International combined efforts to fund renovations to a “floating dental clinic” in the Rio Dulce region of Guatemala. Dr. Lee says “Rotarians are a special group. They work hard in their communities to make positive changes at home and abroad. They are all volunteers. In fact, they each pay membership dues. Their fund-raising is successful because of the amazing participation of members. Without Rotary grants, many charities wouldn’t be able to follow through with projects.”
Thank you to the Rotary Club of Streetsville and the Rotary Club of Mississauga .
