On January 22, 2024, the Club celebrated Robbie Burns Day. All things Scottish were feted as we honoured Scotland's national poet and lyricist. In addition to reading well-known poems written by Burns and eating haggis, Club members wore plaid and sang Auld Lang Syne, a famous Scottish song. Of course, we piped in the haggis. It is tradition! For those who missed this fun event, please mark it on your calendar for next January!

On November 27th, 2023, Rotarian Dr. Suzanne Cook led an interactive workshop entitled Career Redirection. She told stories and discussed the importance of taking an active role in managing your career. Members discussed their own careers. Suzanne facilitated an exercise that members completed and everyone was encouraged to share their experiences with career development. Members learned a lot about each other during this rich discussion.

 

On Monday February 5th, 2024, the Rotary Club of Brampton celebrated Black History Month. It was an incredible event, with 136 people registered! It was a fun and informative evening. The guest speaker was Dr. Jean Augustine, who was a wonderful dynamic presenter. She spoke about supporting Black communities and the United Nations International Decade for People of African Descent. We are thrilled that Dr. Augustine is an honorary member of the Rotary Club of Brampton.
