Welcome Joanne & Heino
We were very pleased to have both Joanne Hoftsee, guest of Linda and Heino Doessing, guest of Marcia, attend our meeting this week. You are welcome anytime.
 
Thank you Rexall Pharmacy
A long time friend and employee of Rexall Pharmacy reached out to Martina about a large donation of feminine products from Rexall as the result of a change in packaging. We referred her to Rotarian and Stoney Creek Food Board member, Mike Dunne.  Arrangements were made and Rexall donated 9 large bags of products to the Food Bank who were extremely grateful. Pictured is Daniella and Janice of Rexall along with Mike Dunne. 
 
TEAD Charity Golf Tournament - June 1oth
Marcia is interested in putting together a foursome for this event.  Please reach out to her if you are interested.
 
District Training for the New Rotary Year
If you receive an invitation from Aaron Carlson regarding targeted training for the new Rotary year,  I encourage you to sign up and participate.  It will be time well-spent for your role.
 
Rotary Email - Make your life easier
If you have trouble locating a Rotary email, some members have created a separate email for just business about Rotary.  This way it doesn't get mixed up with personal or business emails.  Let Martina know if you're interested or need help with this.
 
ClubRunner and MyRotary Training
Please reach out to Martina to book your 40 minute Zoom training on ClubRunner and MyRotary including My Learning Centre.
