Last week there was no bulletin as we met at Fern Resort for President's Night. For newer Rotarians, President's night is when we say thank you to our outgoing President and welcome to our new President. From everyone at Rotary I want to thank President Anne for an awesome year. It was a year that saw huge membership growth. And one in which we tried out some new ideas. I'm not sure everyone knows the number of hours the Club President spends getting the job done. I know that every time I emailed Anne, she was quick with a reply. I saw the huge number of tasks she took away from each board meeting and still got everything done. I noticed how many times she came out to two club meetings in a week or represented the club outside of our regular meeting times. Congratulations and well done Anne. (Please feel free to add your own personal congrats to Anne when you see her.)

 

Welcome President Andrew. Andrew has been on the board and chair of the Vocational Committee. I know Andrew will make a great club President. He's another person who follows up on emails, attends events and generally makes the club look good. Thanks for taking on this daunting role on our behalf.

Guests at the Cocktail Club included Speaker Risha Yorke and frequent visitor and prospective member (everyone behave!) Deborah Joslin.

 

Welcome to our newest Rotarian Kevin Healy. Kevin was inducted during the lunch meeting last week. Everyone at Rotary is glad you are here! (Everyone can revert to their normal behavior!)

 

 

 

Don't forget the RI convention coming up in Toronto!

Anyone interested in helping with Girls' Night Out should plan to stay late after the Cocktail meeting.  A list of roles was circulated by email if you want to plan ahead.

 

District Governor visit will be October 9!

 

 

Megan's daughter is back in Canada from her year in Italy.

Andrew is happy that his wife is working in town on a new play at the Opera House in November.

Heather is a new, first time gramma! Congratulations Heather; what were you? 10 when you had your children?
