Hi Everyone!

I hope everyone is enjoying their summer!

There was lots of fun and fellowship on Tuesday at Satellite.  I could not keep up with all those Happy Bucks!

Everyone is so Happy!

If anyone has any ideas for the Bulletin.  Let me know.   I am open to any suggestions.

Rotary would like to thank Marilyn for introducing guests Todd and Karen, July 10th at the satellite meeting. 

Also, welcome back Deborah.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Our Announcements were brief this week.

 

Nancy brought Rotary Shirts Samples for us to take a look at.    Pricing is

$ 35.00, if you do not have a Rotary shirt yet.

 

 

Reminder from Tammy the next satellite meeting or shall we say SOCIAL will be at the Lakehouse, 371 Brewery Lane.   Potluck (if possible a hot dish), BYOB, BYOC (Chair) and do not forget your swimsuit for some summer fun in the water.

 

You all challenged me with all your Happiness!   I could not keep up!

 

Dean had so many visitors, his 2 kids, 3 grandkids, 3 brother in laws and to top it all off a University friend called to visit.   Dean loves his fresh green peas!

 

Mark was working hard putting boards on the dock.  Very Happy it is finished!   To relax a little he bought a sit down lawn mower from Marilyn, to make all that work a little easier.

 

Marilyn had her Mom visiting and since her stroke her Mom never thought she would swim again.   Guess what, with some floats, she was buoyant and paddling around.   Tool time Marilyn bought and installed an air conditioner.  After that it was time to rock on at Mariposa Festival all night long.

 

Sandra had her sister visiting from BC and after the meeting she was going out for dinner.   Always fun when your family is around.

 

Scott wore someones name badge (not sure if he was a male or female that day),  then to top that off he wore his name badge upside down and no one noticed.   Too funny!

 

Andrew convinced his wife to go camping with the kids.   His wife's first experience was terrible since the weather was horrible 4 years ago.  Thank goodness it was a beautiful weekend for them at Kilbear.

Otherwise that would have been the last time.   With kids it is always an adventure, his daughter set all the kindling on fire.   That's kids for you!

 

 

 

25,000 Rotary members attended.

There were Rotarians from around the world.

For the opening ceremonies the rotaracts carried flags in from around the world at the Air Canada Centre.

The convention has been hosted in Toronto 3 times.

New President Barry and Esther Rassin spoke.

 

House of Firendship is all about vendors selling products, booths of Groups, causes and projects you can learn about.  Of course, not to forget there was Beer, Scotch and Wine tasting! 

If you are looking for other rotarians to share an interest, there are fisherman, photographers, kayak, canoers and travel exchange groups. 

 

Keynote speakers this year were Princess Anne and Justin Trudeau, who is the second largest supporter of polio.

 

There were many Breakout Sessions to learn about,  the future of Rotary, Polio updates, Technology & Rotary these were held at the Metro Convention Centre.

 

Plan ahead next year this event will be held in Germany.  Always in English.   Budget approx. $1600.00 Air, Registration $395.00 plus Hotel/Air B&B, do not forget you will be eating and drinking!

 

Thanks Marilyn, for some inspiring information from the Rotary International Convention.

Sarah Jane got us all out of seats playing get to know each other BINGO!

Paula won the Trophy that I am sure will get passed down to the next Bingo winner.  

Very interactive and good for a few laughs!
