Due to the current pandemic, our annual Nut Drive with Queen's Engineering students has been transformed to an online fundraising event.

There are five entries done by first year Queen's University engineering students as part of their orientation week. Vote for your favourite entry(ies) and all the proceeds of the votes, at $2 each will be shared between the Rotary clubs in the Kingston area.

Funds raised by GoNuts will go a variety of youth programs like Easter Seals, support for local seniors, indigenous groups, sustainable environment (we are building a Butterfly Garden this year) and local not-for-profits through our Community Outreach Grants process which happens three times each year. We look forward to seeing machines produced by the students and assisting in the raising of funds for these efforts.

Voting takes place between September 8 and September 30 only.

Link to vote: https://engpay.engsoc.queensu.ca/

Please pass on to all your friends, families, and colleagues, no matter where they live.

Only $2 per vote and all funds go to Rotary, and you will not gain the weight by eating all those chocolate-covered almonds.

ALL Rotary Clubs provide service to others, promote integrity, and advance world understanding, goodwill, and peace through our fellowship of business, professional, and community leaders. BUT, each Club has its own character, schedule, and areas of focus.
