Pool  party at the Bondy's next week for our cocktail meeting. Megan will send her address before the meeting.

One more week of this Rotary year and then we will have a changing of the guards. Just a reminder that my stint as bulletin editor will end along with the Rotary year. It's been lots of fun. One thing writing the bulletin does is helps me to remember names. 

 

To all of the Rotarians that are retiring or changing roles with the new year, thank you for the work you did on our behalf. A final huge and heartfelt thanks to President Anne.

 We were pleased to welcome Laura (Cat Bristow's cousin) to the cocktail meeting, along with our speaker Rob Soczka from Helping Hands.

 

 

Don't forget the RI convention coming up in Toronto! June 23 - 27. Can't wait to hear the stories!

 

Alison is looking for assistance with committees for the Aquatheatre. She circulated sign up sheets for the Fund Raising Working Group; the Music and Special Events Working Group and the Site Management Working Group. If you did not sign up but are interested, please get in touch with Alison. Chis volunteered to the liaison with artists regarding the request for a rendering.

 

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

The train is on track (Nancy's bad pun, not mine) Angela will be trying to fill the volunteer schedule. We are looking for a working party at 2 pm on Friday to clean things up.
