Announcements

• Birthday: Moira Taylor

• Club Anniversaries: Todd Aitchison and Bob Kieswetter, both 15 years with the club

• Logo attire: members are reminded that we have made arrangements with an online supplier for club-logo’d shirts, hat, jackets etc. An order will be placed in August for deliver in September.  The last day for orders is August 31^st. 
• Go towww.rotarykw.com or access it through the member section of Clubrunner,
• or click here:http://tommysshirtshack.com/product-category/rotary-club-of-kitchener-westmount/  This supplier also sells other items but they will not have the Kitchener-Westmount logo, so please be sure to be ordering from the area of the website that was created for our club.

• 50/50: $98, no winner.  Ian Robertson, David Barth and Julie Powell all tried.

• Junior Achievement is the country’s largest business education organization, serving 250,000 students each year in the areas of Financial Literacy, Entrepreneurship and Work Readiness.  JA is in 122 countries, educating youth in grades 7 & 8 about the new global economy.  JA has been in Waterloo Region for 48 years.

• As a registered charity, JA Waterloo Region is funded by generous donors who provide the critical funding needed to develop and deliver programs, train volunteers and offer scholarships to Canada’s future leaders.  JAWR reached out to over 5,200 students this past year.  It costs $700 per class to deliver the 20 week program.

• Programs are run both in the classroom as well as after school.  Students come up with their own product or service, establish and then run it as a quasi-legitimate business.  They could even end up presenting their idea to local “dragons”.

• The results speak for themselves:

• Members are invited to attend the Entrepreneur Hall of Fame dinner on November 1, 2018.  Tickets are $150 each or corporate tables are $1,200 for a table of 8.

• Volunteering at JA is very rewarding; interested members should contact JA for more information.
