1. Unfortunately, David Shin has decided to take a leave of absence due to many challenges with his business. Thus he will not be able to fulfil the Secretary role for 2022-23.
Juergen and I will be looking for another candidate.
2. Legends has told us they need to adjust the lunch pricing (1st time). Total cost with tax and gratuity will change to $27.17. Starting in July, individual meals for senior active members and guests will be $27.50. No change to the monthly billing at this time.
3. We still need many more volunteers for Ribfest. Hopefully, most members will take a few shifts. Please use Nigel’s program to sign up.
4. I will be in Toronto this weekend for my son’s wedding. See you next Friday.
5. The Rotary moment for this week.
Your Donations at Work
All donations to the Rotary Foundation Disaster Response Fund from 3 March to 30 April 2022 have been prioritized for use providing humanitarian aid to regions that are supporting Ukrainian refugees or other victims of the war.
Thanks to the generosity of donors around the world, we raised more than $15 million in contributions that are already helping provide people with essential items such as water, food, shelter, medicine, and clothing.
So far, 90 disaster response grants totaling $2.4 million have been awarded to support people affected by the war. The Rotary Foundation will continue to use the donations for humanitarian aid in and around Ukraine, and districts can apply for these grants until 30 June 2022.
Donations made to the Disaster Response Fund after 30 April will be available to all communities around the world that need assistance recovering from disasters.
