Elisabeth joined us for breakfast just a few days after her surgery. It was great to see her looking so good.
We did not have a speaker this week so president Al took the extra time to speak to us.
Al reported that he had recently attended a meeting of local Rotary presidents. They discussed several issues;
1. The Rotary motto for this year is “Making a Difference” They interpret this to mean the everything that we do as a club should make a difference;
2. Exploring different options for “associate” membership
3. Common challenges that the ir clubs face such as membership and fundraising;
4. The possibility of engaging in a collective tree planting project
Al also shared a few more stories from his auto biography. Including
1. A story about a cattle drive from Saskatchewan to newfoundland;
2. How his organisation “the Potato Growers of Alberta” negotiated a sale of the logo “PGA” to the Professional Golfers Association”
