September 28, 2011 Rotary Update

Thursday, September 8th, marked a visit from Harry Buddle, our Rotary District Governor.  Harry inspired our club with his words of wisdom, ranging from community and international involvement, to membership diversity.  We appreciate the visit, and look forward to his direction as we continue with the 2011-2012 year.

From the photos of the Corn Roast and RV Park Camp-out, it looks like the event was a great hit!  They will be posted on here shortly.  Many thanks to Grant and Clark, who organized this successful event of fellowship.

On Thursday, September 22nd, we enjoyed a vist from representatives of the Fort St. John - North Peace Museum,  including Heather (museum curator), Evelyn Sims (President of North Peace Historical Society), and Larry Evans.  We received an update on the museum, including their near-completion of the renovations/expansion, before President Clark Lang presented them with our Club donation.

Tomorrow, September 29th is Bring Your Spouse Day.  Please plan on attending our lunch meeting at the Pomeroy Hotel, as we welcome our guest speaker, Jennifer Stevenson, from RBC Dominion Securities.  Jennifer is Vice president and Portfolio Manager, Energy, Dynamic Funds.  She will be speaking about Gas Fracking.  With over 20 years of experience in the sector, Jennifer is an energy specialist.

Rotary Mega Lottery has started.  If you have not picked up your set of tickets yet, please feel free to stop by my office at MNP.  I will also have them at tomorrow's meeting.  The first Early Bird Draw is mid-October, so lets get these tickets sold!

 Have a great Rotarian day!
