A wine and cheese reception took place at this present TBAG location at Confederation College. Executive Director Sharon Godwin presented on the very exciting progress, especially given the recent federal grant government commitment. Members were able to peruse the plans for this wonderful new carbon neutral building on the waterfront.

NEW MEMBER INDUCTION
The club welcomed (Past President of TB Rotaract club) Karissa Kilby (3rd from the left) as a bona fide new member of the "senior" PA Rotary club. Karissa was on hand and pictured with members at the induction ceremony.
Her colleague Elyse Pither attended as well (the incoming Rotaract President).
The club is thrilled to have Karissa on board and she will be assisting in furthering the club social media platform development.
This event is a unique membership induction of a recent TB Rotaract member and augers well for us into the future.
The club thanks Sharon Godwin for hosting us for this exciting event.
