September 29 - Rotary Meeting

Ron presented a $1000 cheque to Tina for the Osoyoos Concert Series which was a great help towards the last concert. The Osoyoos Concert Series plans 4 concerts over the course of the year.

Carl Tim joined us from the Penticton Rotary Club. He was a past District Governor and encouraged our club to attend the District Conference in Penticton on May 31 - June 3, 2012.

I also did my member presentation and did my best not to put everyone to sleep. Here are the coles notes on me:

At the ripe age of 23 I started a marketing agency called Freckle Creative. Marketing has always been a huge passion for me...I tend to think in strategy. In 2010 when I was expecting my daughter Hope, an agency I had been working with for a few years called Pulse Group offered to buy me out. I took the buy out option. Now I do contract work or a few agencies like Pulse Group, Niche Media and also do local contracts for Destination Osoyoos, the Town of Osoyoos, South Okanagan Modular Homes, and many others.

In March 2010  I gave birth to my mischieviously brilliant daugther, Hope Alexander Plante. She is wild just like her father and keeps us all on our toes. Most of you have met Hope at Rotary events and you all know Hope's two favorite babysitters...John Robertson and Jim King.

In my spare time I am a Board Member for the South Okanagan Chamber of Commerce, a member of the Osoyoos Community Sustainability Action Team, a member of the Oliver/Osoyoos Marketing Consortium, Campaign Manager for my hubby Mike Plante (running for Council) play soccer, and of course I am a Rotarian.

Something you all don't know about me...I a notorious for talking in my sleep and sleep walking. Are you still awake? Haha

Reminder: Tomorrow's meeting is a dinner meeting!
