We were able to visit with each other and special guests from Brazil tonight before President Veronica called the meeting to order. Leon played a version of O Canada as performed by Angelica Hale, sung before a Panthers vs Senators NHL game. I saw only a few Rotarians singing along.
Announcements: Rotary Opens Opportunities; the 50/50 Mega Draw has now reached $43 870 in sales; Anthony and Tracey Ball welcomed Caellum Zane into their family, and he slept through his first Rotary meeting.
We welcomed Brazilians Marco and Leda Manica, Eduardo Arienzo (along with his two sons), and translator Lucila Tonelli to our meeting. Click October 15, 2020 to see screenshots of Eduardo’s presentation. They explained about their project to purchase a special microscope for their local hospital, and are looking for assistance in adding $16 500 US in DDF to their grant proposal. We enjoyed a video about their home city that they shared with us.
Foundation chair Wayne read The Rotary Foundation announcement for this week. Click on PolioPlus is a Signature Program of The Rotary Foundation to read the information.
Happy and sad dollars were pledged, we raised our glasses and cups in a toast to Canada, and the meeting was done.
