Currently, there are 33 Rotary members here, including 30 men and three women. "We really need more women," Lawrence. "I'd like to see more women join our club." As for his other priori- ties, Mr. Lawrence said he'd like to see the Port Perry chapter get more involved with district and international work, and finish off the local Rotary Club nature park. He als. wants to look into the idea of helping raise funds for the new regional cancer centre in Oshawa, and improve on the club's golf tourna- ment.
