Last week we hosted a great Mayoral candidate debate, thanks to John Hammill for doing such an awesome job moderating.
Also a huge thank you to all Rotarians that helped with Parking and Car Lottery Sales at the Orillia Fall Fair this past weekend! It has been an extremely busy last couple weeks for our club, and we really appreciate everyone's time and efforts!
This week we have Paul Etsey from the Genwell Project speaking to us virtually (he will join virtually, rest of us still in person at Creative Nomad unless you decide to join the meeting virtually as well). GenWell is a Canadian registered charity dedicated to improving social health by helping people understand the importance of human connection and providing practical ways to strengthen relationships, foster belonging, and build stronger communities. We need a volunteer for 50/50 sales tomorrow!
