Our second new member induction this month! Welcome, Kara!

At our last meeting…

Our June 9 meeting drew a full house as we celebrated our final Student of the Month presentations of the school year. As always, the students impressed us with their accomplishments, and one student even delivered a thoughtful speech to the club.

Members also enjoyed an informative presentation from Jaime Grant of the Alzheimer's Society, who shared valuable insights into the organization's work and the impact of Alzheimer's disease on individuals and families.

We were also pleased to welcome Kara Sears as our newest club member. We look forward to her involvement and contributions.

This Week: President's Night (No Regular Meeting)

It's hard to believe that a year has already passed! Tonight (June 16), I'm honoured to be passing the presidential torch to Dale Rowe, your 2026-27 Club President. I am looking forward to seeing many of you there.

President's Night will take place at our regular meeting place, Creative Nomad; however, make sure to note the later start time.

Please plan to arrive at 5:30 p.m. Appetizers will be served at 6:00 p.m. and dress code is business casual.

Note that President's Night is a ticketed event. If you did not buy a ticket, there is no meeting tonight, but you can join online with the link below.
