Rotary Club of Amherstburg inducts new member

Brianne McLaren-Ross (right) was welcomed to the Rotary Club of Amherstburg by president Dan Monk during her recent induction.

The Rotary Club of Amherstburg has now increased to 15 members with a new member being inducted last week.

Brianne McLaren-Ross was officially welcomed as the newest Amherstburg Rotarian at the club’s meeting Sept. 10 at The Fort Fun Centre. McLaren-Ross had already attended several meetings as she showed interest in joining the club and made it official last week.

“I want to give back to the community,” said McLaren-Ross. “I’ve lived here for about 15 years.”

McLaren-Ross said she had been thinking about joining the Rotary Club of Amherstburg for about one year before she was formally welcomed.

“I feel the community is revitalizing itself,” she said. “I want to be part of it.”

Her husband, Norm Ross, is the new town crier and now she wants to be more involved in the Amherstburg community as well. McLaren-Ross said she felt “connected” to Rotary and they have a lot of values and goals she does.

“I just want to meet people in the community. I want to give back,” said McLaren-Ross. “So far, it’s been a lot of fun. Everyone is happy and has fun. It’s just a great environment.”

The Rotary Club of Amherstburg meets at the Fort Fun Centre every second and fourth Wednesday of the month. 

New members are welcome.
