Hello Rotaractor! This week at Rotaract... Our board will meet at 6:00pm and our club meeting will follow at 7:00pm, both tentatively scheduled to be at Jobsite Brewing (45 Cambria Street, Stratford) in the rear venue. We understand that there has been concern in regards to noise and the reduced ability to hear and our club executives are working on a solution. Club President and President Elect will be meeting with Jobsite Brewing Tuesday to discuss opportunity to provide a better experience. An update will be provided to the club prior to Wednesdays club meeting This week, our guest speaker is Rebecca Garlick, the Climate Change Coordinator for the Municipality of North Perth. Rebecca is working on Stratfords, St. Mary's and Perth County's greenhouse gas reductions plans. Rebecca is looking to get as much public input in the plans as possible, and to better understand the communities that she is developing the plans for and suggesting actions that the community can get excited about. Rebecca is taking a focus on creating a healthy environment, so not only improving the natural environment of these areas but also focusing on how this positively impacts the well-being of residents in each municipality and across the County. We look forward to hearing club updates from our trivia committee, Jobsite Trivia Committee, venue updates, board updates and open club conversation. Club Updates... Our "Serves you Right" Volleyball Tournament was held on Saturday February 29th and was a success. Thank you to our volunteers that helped throughout the day as we were able to raise $800 for the Matilda Street Beach Court Improvements. A huge thank you to all the teams involved with the tournament, it would not be possible without your support and congratulations to this years winner "Beach Please", who generously donated their entry fee and prize money back to the fundraiser, a huge thank you to the team members! A full update will be provided to the club. Our Last Rotaract Meeting... Our last meeting was held on February 27th and was a service meeting.
