Hello Fellow Rotarians,

This week's meeting marks our last meeting of 2025 and is our annual Yankee Swap!

This will be an informal meeting for some fun with our fellow Rotarians.  According to Wikipedia, the goal of a Yankee Swap gift exchange is “to entertain party-goers rather than to give or acquire a genuinely valuable or highly sought-after item.”  We'll see how the swap rolls out…I've seen some intense exchanges over a prized gift in past years :)
 
Location - Curl Moncton, 80 Lockhart Ave 
Parking - access our parking lot from Lockhart or Edmonton
Time - approx. 12  - 1 pm
What to bring - wrapped gift valued at approx. $20
Attire/Dress - Festive encouraged
 
I encourage you all to wear your most festive inspired outfit - there may even be a prize for the best (or worst, depending on your view)
 
 
A few other upcoming events to mark on your calendar:
  • NY Levee - Friday, Jan 2nd, 2026 @ 12 pm, held at 2nd floor at Dolma 
  • Fundraising Brainstorming and Pitch Sessions - Fridays of January 16th and 23rd, 2026. More information to come early in new year.
  • Charter Night - Friday evening, February 20th, 2026. More information to come on this
Yours in Rotary,
Catherine
