Well, we had our annual meeting with the District Governor, James Ferguson, and Assistant District Governor Terri Demers
We started with Rotary moments from Judy and Carolyn
Carolyn talked about her first impression (and continued appreciation) of our Club as an open and welcoming group;
Judy talked about one of our early projects when we engaged high school students to provide computer training to teachers, students and parents at the Mckee school when our own Jamie Pallet was a member of our club and principal of that school.
We have several members who are dealing with medical issues;
- Pat Coyle is recovering from heart surgery
- Jamie is recovering from back issues; and
- Agnes is fighting cancer
Our thoughts and prayers go out to all three of them.
Special thanks to Judy Wilson. Judy has been Agnes’ friend, support and chauffer throughout her medical struggles.
We talked about the success of our school lunch program. We have purchased, packaged and delivered lunches to the Prince Charles and Ivor Dent schools. We have raised over $3,000 for this project through;
- Generous support from Cindy’s cousins;
- Cindy’s “Gratosity” fundraiser promotion; and;
- The assistance of mark and Tony with our bottle drive.
Thank you to everyone involved. Your efforts are really appreciated.
District Governor Ferguson extended greetings from the district. He shared a video and reported that the Rotary theme for the 2020-2021 year is
“Rotary opens Opportunities”
James is a member of the e-club. He told us that that club is chartered in our district but it has members throughout the world.
I have contacted the United Nations to arrange for a virtual tour and presentation for our Club. They will provide speakers on the following topics;
• UN Millennium Development Goals (MDGs)
• Peacekeeping Issues
• Security Council Issues and Sanctions Issues
• Economic Development
• Sustainable Development and Environmental Issues
• The UN and Civil Society/Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs)
• Disarmament Issues
• Humanitarian Affairs
• Women’s Issues
• Human Trafficking
• Refugee Issues
• Human Rights
I would like input from everyone on our choice of topic.
