Greetings, Rotarians. Congratulations, Barbara Elias!

 

1. November is Foundation Month. Have you contributed? It's easy and money well deployed.

2. Congratulations to Barbara Elias for receiving YMCA's 2023 Peace Medal. Peace = Participation, Empathy, Advocacy, Community, Empowerment. Barbara certainly hits all of these points and more. Congratulations, Barbara, on the well-deserved award.

 

3. Have you properly introduced yourself to our exchange students? Do you have an activity in mind that might be of interest to them? Let's not forget to include them where we can in order to give them a good experience and show them what Rotary is all about. Inviting them to a Remembrance Day celebration is one idea.

 

4. Looking ahead, please mark these dates in your calendars:

- December 1, 2023: Club's Christmas Party. 

 

- December 15, 2023: club's Annual General Meeting. The bylaws provide that at a regular meeting one month prior to the meeting for election of officers, the presiding officer shall ask for nominations by members of the club for secretary; it is now time to start thinking about filling this important role. The Charity's Board AGM will also take place on this date.

 

- January 5, 2023: New Year's Levee at Brix. 

 

- February 9, 2023: Charter Night at Spruce & Iron (Moncton Golf Club). Note: this is amended compared to previous bulletins. Apologies for any inconvenience created by this change in date and thank you for your understanding.

 

- May 25-29: Rotary International Convention in Singapore.

 

- June 14-16: District Conference is in St. Pierre & Miquelon 

 

See you tomorrow in our regular meeting room at Legends! Will your table be selected for you by choosing a color, or will that be sporadic only? Find out tomorrow.
