The Rotary Club of Stratford is having their next Aquabox Build on Saturday, November 24th and is looking for volunteers. The build will take place at the scene shop at 350 Douro Street in Stratford and the build will take place from 9 to 12pm. The Aquabox project, which is unique to the Rotary Club of Stratford, brings water filtration systems during times of natural disaster all around the world. Not only are you volunteering for a great cause, it is also an awesome networking opportunity.

Please mark your calendars for Thursday, December 20th for our annual Holiday gathering! Details to follow at this week's meeting

 

There are no formal meeting minutes from our last meeting. Last time we gathered, we welcomed all new Rotary members in our area and welcomed very special guests Dianne Yundt and Diane Chandler. We learned that Rotaract has inducted more members in our area than any other club! We were happy to host and welcome all new members and celebrate with pizza and comradery.

 

Diane spoke to us about her experience in Africa and reminded us all that one person with one idea can change the world as she spoke about Grand Bend's Global Literacy Project. For more information on the project, visit: https://www.grandbendrotary.com/sitepage/global-literacy-project

 

As always, please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns and any additional items you would like added to the agenda.

 

See you all on Thursday,

Kelly
