About our School Musical Instrument Project - Southampton Rotary's Musical Mission
What began as a simple request from GC Huston has blossomed into community-wide initiative. Southampton Rotarians Dave Bertrand and Jim Wade, inspired by this call for help, uncovered a pressing need for musical instruments across Saugeen Shores schools.
Teaming up with Cam Porter, a renowned former music teacher and conductor of the Port Elgin Community Band, they discovered an existing small-scale program supporting schools with instruments. This revelation sparked a grander vision.
Now, Southampton Rotary is orchestrating a two-pronged approach:
- A community-wide secondhand instrument drive
- Dedicating proceeds from our October 26, 2024, Annual Dinner Auction's "Fund A Need" to breathe new life into these donations and purchase additional instruments
Our goal? To ensure no budding school musician in Saugeen Shores is left without the tools to explore their passion. Should we receive an abundance of generosity, we'll spread the harmony by sharing surplus instruments with other worthy charities.
Join us in making music education accessible to all – because every child deserves the chance to find their rhythm!"

History of the Auction
Southampton Rotary Club has held an Annual Dinner and Auction every October since 2003, with a pause in 2020 and 2021 due to the COVID-19 Pandemic.
The idea for the auction came from a club member, Ron Luciano, who in the early years also took on the role of Auctioneer. The event was originally held at Chippewa Golf and Country Club (Now known as Southampton Golf and Country Club), but in recent years it has become the premier Fall event at the Walker House.
During the COVID-enforced pause, the club organized a number of virtual events including an East Coast Kitchen Party, Jazz for the Light, a St Patrick's Day Event, and a series of Cooking Shows. Each event featured an online auction.
