We had the Club kick-off for our annual Rotary4kids with our Ambassador, Jillian and her parents along with many guests and generous donors who were recognized with plaques.  Go to our Club's site at https://rotaryclubofnorthbay.org/ for more information and details.

This annual event is aimed at those coming into a leadership role in the new year with the club BUT it is not only for those positions. 

 

The weekend is open to all Rotarians and it is especially a great weekend for those new to Rotary and even long time Rotarians to get updated information on all things Rotary.  Our incoming District Governor, Juanita Hodgson, will talk about "The Year Ahead" and many of the District Chairs will be presenting.  Best news, this is happening right here in North Bay!  Here is the link to view the agenda and registration details:

• $500 (club) + $1,000 (district grant) = $1,500 income
• $1,000 (club) + $2,000 (district grant) = $3,000 income
• $2,000 (club) + $2,000 (district grant) = $4,000 income

 

In order to apply for District Grants, the Club must have at least 2 members go through the training.  Please take a look at the Grants website for more details.  Copy and paste this link into your browser:

 

Committees should look at applying for District Grants as the funds are limited so "first come, first serve" to the money....... the sooner we can get two members certified through the on-line training, the sooner we can get an application in.

 

Our Club was successful in obtaining two grants last year - both of them with the funds being designated around our 100 year anniversary events.

 

Spring is here - really, it is!!!!

 

Hope you all have a great weekend and see you on Monday.
