The Rotary Club of Bowmanville was pleased to provide financial support to Bethesda House at its November 22, 2016 meeting.  Since its founding in 1992 Bethesda House has evolved from a simple shelter for abused women and their children into a comprehensive system of support services for victims of domestic abuse.
 
The donations were accepted by Jaki MacKinnon, Executive Director of Bethesda House.  A donation of $3200 from the Community Service Committee for repairs to the eaves troughs was presented by Director Tim Funchion and a donation of just over $1000 from the Rookie Committee for the purchase of a new freezer was presented by Chair Paul Davidson.
