Rotary Club of Oshawa-Parkwood
What a wonderful Holiday Party today as the Rotary Club of Oshawa-Parkwood hosted the clients and staff of Participation House for our annual Holiday party at the Jubilee Pavilion at Lakeview Park in Oshawa.
Dr Tess Pierce said:
Hello ALL,
I wanted to thank you all for your support and help today. I wish I could have stayed. But I had a delivery in Coburg. (1 cake + 1 ham). It’s all for the good of the Rotary and our awesome members (and families!)
Janice, thanks for organizing it.
