On January 30, 2020 meeting #27 of our Rotary year opened in the usual fashion. Then our president welcomed us and asked us, “Our Rotary theme this year is Rotary Connects the World. What have you done this Rotary year to bring new members to our club? What should our club be doing to attract new members?” Allan and Les updated us on the arboretum and RIC (will need furnace replaced), the social committee has plans for next month, and Wayne reminded us about the Rotary Citation and what we still need to do to earn this award.
We had two guests (we don’t include Nora with the guests anymore), Karen Moraes and Margaret Ann. Margaret was our guest speaker and she spoke to us about the New Directions English Langley School, telling us about the programs and the clientele. It turned out one of our members has taken classes there, and speaks highly of the school. Claudia is showing us up by becoming fluently bilingual.
Happy and sad dollars for Polio Plus were collected, and we closed with a
toast to Canada. For more photos please visit January 30, 2020.
