Two new members were inducted into the Rotary Club of Amherstburg last Wednesday night.

There are two new members officially in the Rotary Club of Amherstburg.

Megan Monk and Nancy Roy were inducted into the local service club at their meeting last Wednesday night at The Fort Fun Centre. 

Both were inducted by District 6400 assistant governor Tania Muscedere, who noted the new Rotarians were chosen for their leadership and dedication to the community.

Members of a Rotary Club make a difference in the lives of others, Muscedere stated, adding it is a club that is international and welcomes diversity and inclusiveness all for positive outcomes.

“Rotary is not just an organization, but a movement,” said Muscedere.

Monk wanted to join the Rotary Club of Amherstburg, in part, due to her husband Dan is a member. 

“I want to support him and his goals,” said Monk. “I want to support the community.”

Stating she has been considering joining the Rotary Club for approximately one year, Monk said she looks forward to giving back to the town. Dan was her sponsor into the club.

Roy said she was approached by her sponsor, and now fellow Rotarian Susanne Rainhard, about joining the club four months ago.

“I like to give back to the community,” said Roy.

Roy said she has a desire to do good things for others, adding she believes it is good for a person’s mental health to be of service to the community.

Being of service is vital, she believes.

“It’s a huge need in the community,” said Roy.

Roy added she plans on spreading the word about Rotary and encourages others to join.

There are about a dozen members in the Rotary Club of Amherstburg, with the club now meeting at The Fort Fun Centre.
