Camp Rotary On Line Auction

Camp Rotary is an accessible summer camp located at Grand Lake, New Brunswick. It is owned and maintained by the Fredericton Rotary Club and operated by Easter Seals. The camp allows people with a variety of challenges to have a summer experience that would not normally be available to them including swimming, boating and all the summertime activities many of us take for granted.

We appreciate the on-going support of other Rotary Clubs which has helped the Fredericton Rotary Club in our efforts to maintain, and improve the facilities at Camp Rotary.   We are excited to announce that our club’s key fund raising event will be an on-line auction that will run May 22 through June 1, 2015.   You can register for the auction at:

Kellie McLean and Greg Ireland at Rotary on Monday May 11. Kellie spoke about a new initiative in Infection Control, patients holding healthcare personnel accountable for cleaning hands regularly. By asking, have you cleaned your hands.

Kellie McLean, Regional Infection Prevention and Control Manager at Vitalite Health Network, Chaleur Region

Kellie discussed the importance of health care professionals washing their hands before interaction with any patient; the “Washed Their Hands Initiative”. A pertinent statistic in this regard is that between eight and twelve thousand Canadian patients die each year from hospital acquired infections. Therefore, it is every patient’s right to request that all health care professionals wash/sanitize their hands before dealing with them. Kellie stated that alcohol based Purell hand sanitizer is the gold standard for hand cleanliness.
