NOTICE.....
I regret to say that with the new restrictions announced by the Provincial government, the uncertainty of changing restrictions and other jurisdictions shutting down, we have been notified by the St James Well that there will be no breakfast meetings allowed until the end of January. I do encourage you to participate this week as we formally welcome two new members into the club.
So to be clear:
This week is a ZOOM ONLY meeting.
Next week's meeting is cancelled.
The Christmas party is cancelled - events are so restricted as to not be fun.
January 5 to January 26th meetings will be ZOOM ONLY.
Hopefully this will be a short stint and we can at least get back to hybrid meetings in February 2022

Rotary Foundation Moment of the Week
What is the Goal of Rotary Foundation Grants? (Part 2 of 2)During the past 100 years, the Foundation has spent over $3 billion on life-changing, sustainable projects. With your help, we can make lives better in your community and around the world. The Rotary Foundation impacts communities through our grants program, which offers four opportunities for funding. Last week we talked about district grants and global grants – let’s look at the final two options today:Programs of Scale Grants – fund activities that benefit a large number of people in a significant geographic area using a sustainable, evidence-based intervention with measurable outcomes and impact. Each grant will support, for three to five years, activities that align with one or more of Rotary’s areas of focus. How it works: Each year, one approved project will receive $2 million from The Rotary Foundation’s World Fund. Applicants are strongly encouraged to supplement Foundation funding with resources from multiple other sources, and to work with an experienced partner, such as a nongovernmental organization, private institution, or government entity.Disaster Response Grants – fund small-scale, short-term activities that address needs caused by natural disasters in your community. Activities include providing basic items such as water, food, medicine, and clothing. How it works: Districts in an affected area or country may apply for a maximum grant of $25,000, based on the availability of funds. A district may apply for subsequent grants after it successfully reports outcomes from previous grants.As Rotarians, we are eligible to participate in any one of these programs. Which one interests you?
We wish you the very Best this Christmas Season. May you be with the ones you Love and Remember the True meaning of Christmas.
