WE HAD A GREAT DAY AT THE SPLASH PAD ON JULY 20TH GIVING OUT ICE CREAM CONES, GRILLED CHEESE, POGOS AND FRIES TO THE CHILDREN THAT CAME OUT TO ENJOY SOME PERIODS OF SUNSHINE.  THE RAIN CAME AND WENT SO TURNOUT WAS NOT AS GREAT AS WE HAD HOPED BUT WE DID SPEAK TO PEOPLE IN THE COMMUNITY AND TALKED ABOUT ROTARY.  THERE IS A POTENTIAL MEMBER OUT THERE AS WELL.  WE HOPE TO MAKE THIS AN ANNUAL EVENT SO HOPEFULLY NEXT YEAR THE WEATHER WILL COOPERATE.  MARK LAMONTAGNE VISITED FROM THE NIPISSING CLUB AND WE HAD SEVERAL OF OUR MEMBERS COME OUT.  THANK YOU FOR THE HELP WITH SETTING UP AND TAKING DOWN OUR BRAND NEW BEAUTIFUL ROTARY TENT.

OUR MEETING ON MONDAY WILL BE AN UPDATE FROM DON COUTTS ON THE LOTTERY ACCOUNT PLUS A SPECIAL RLI PROGRAM FOR OUR CLUB ONLY.  WE ARE MAKING THE LAST MONDAY OF THE MONTH DEVOTED TO NEW MEMBER VOCATIONAL TALKS AND/OR COMMITTEE CHAIRS, DIRECTOR REPORTS TO KEEP YOU UPDATED ON WHAT IS HAPPENING IN OUR CLUB AND TO GET TO KNOW OUR NEW MEMBERS.  ZOOM WILL BE AVAILABLE SO PLEASE CHECK OUR WEBSITE FOR THE NEW ZOOM LINK INFORMATION IN CASE YOU DO NOT HAVE IT.  

 

IF YOU HAVE ANY SUGGESTIONS FOR PROGRAMS/SPEAKERS, PLEASE DO LET ANYONE ON THE BOARD KNOW AND WE CAN LOOK AT SETTING THAT UP.  

 

WE NORMALLY HAVE NEW MEMBERS DO THEIR VOCATIONAL TALKS BUT IF EVEN SOME OF OUR "SEASONED" MEMBERS WOULD LIKE TO PRESENT THEIR VOCATIONAL TALK, DO LET COLIN KNOW AND WE CAN SET THAT UP.  WE ARE MORE THAN HAPPY TO PROMOTE OUR MEMBER'S BUSINESSES SO PLEASE DO KNOW THAT THE INVITATION FOR A VOCATIONAL TALK DOES INCLUDE PROMOTING/BRINGING AWARENESS TO OUR MEMBERS ABOUT WHAT YOU DO OUTSIDE OF ROTARY AS WELL.

 

LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING YOU ON MONDAY AND HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND.
