Please join me for a dinner meeting, with our spouses, on Wednesday, August 7, at 6pm, to welcome District Governor Betty Screpnek, and her spouse, George, to Fort St. John. We will be joined by the Sunrise Rotary Club that evening. This dinner meeting is taking place at the Quality Inn Northern Grand, and will replace our normal Thursday noon meeting.
The Executive Committee will be meeting with DG Screpnek earlier that day, to provide insight on our Club's successes and challenges, as well as the goals and opportunities we have for our local, national, and international service.
I look forward to seeing you on Wednesday evening!
At yesterday's meeting, I referred to the message of our incoming president for Rotary International, Ron Burton. Here it is, embedded in my Induction Speech.
Have a great day!
His official reply.
All dandy. Please count Jan and I in!!

Today we had some food for thought from Bruce Christensen about attending a Regional Conference and the value it brings to a Rotarian.
We also had Moira Green touch on the Guess Who Coming to Dinner Event (at my house it's me and my cat)
Mr Ric Hamre also put out to the club the need for host families for our inbound student ambassadors, so if you can put your name in fellow Rotarians.
Until next time
Take care my friends
We all bid Gerry Gorek a fond farewell from our FSJ Rotarian ranks, you will be missed dearly (and keep in touch :)).
We also congratulate President Elect Julie Ziebart on her Paul Harris Fellowship (is there anything this person can't do?). Good job Julie!
