Club News & Reminders
 
Great Lakes Clean-up
There appeared to be a lot of confusion on who was to take the lead for our Club for the Annual Great Lakes Clean-up, therefore it slipped through the cracks which is so unfortunate. 
I'm sure this will be top of mind as we approach our 2026 Great Lakes Campaign to ensure we do not miss this opportunity as a Club. :)

Today's Meeting
Les Chater YMCA
 
As we continue to explore locations for our lunch time meetings, we had the opportunity to meet and tour the Les Chater YMCA on Rymal Road.  What an impressive facility.
 
Our guide took us through the many rooms and facilities and provided us with a free 2-week pass to enjoy the benefits.
Lunch was also very good!

Weekly Words for Thought
 
Self-care is so important.
When you take time to replenish your spirit, it allows you to serve others from the overflow.
You cannot serve from an empty vessel.
