On Saturday Evening, Rotarians Frank and President Dawn serviced tables at Lauren's Restaurant in Buckingham Square for a sold out evening of great food and fellowship. The two of them raised $2120 to be shared between Rotary and Feed Our Future. 

 

It was Ian and Sian Adams' tenth anniversary that night and ever the romantic, Sian brought yellow roses for her guests. Alas, our stalwart Rotarian was felled with the flu and the couple weren't able to attend. The roses still found homes with ladies that night, and sent a wish and a thank you to our anniversary couple.

Last week Past President Christine sponsored Past President of Rotaract, Matthew Seales to become a member of our club.

When a Rotaractor reaches 30 they can join Rotary automatically.Earlier this year the council on legislation overwhelmingly approved allowing Rotaractors to simultaneously be a member of a ‪Rotary‬ club.  The thought is that this will pave the way for more Rotaractors with proven leadership skills to make the transition into Rotary.  It is said that some Rotaractors are reluctant to leave their Rotaract club before they reach age 30, because they don't want to miss the friends they've made in Rotaract.  Also, some former Retractors find it difficult to get a Rotary club to invite them as a member. Currently only about 5% will transition to Rotary, and the thought is that this change will move that number close to 50%.

 

President Dawn delivers a cheque for $1788 to Youth Services Representative James Myles. The donation will go toward student funding, a showcase and participant award for Baking 202 held at John Gray High School this past week.
