I have been busy with updating our Club Runner information and RI Integration. It has been a bit of challenge for an old dinosaur but it has been rewarding in making some connections. A few years ago we had a very active member, Claire Voldeng, who due to personal reasons left our club for fairer climates on Vancouver Island. We made Claire an honorary member of our club and she was so listed on Club Runner for many years but never integrated with Rotary International. This now had to be corrected and we need both Club Runner and RI to have identical information. I reached out to Claire to see what she was up to and if she still wanted to be an honorary member of our club. She responded with two very interesting emails about her current life and her memories of her time in our club. Once you have read these, you will see why we want and need people like Claire in our Rotary world. Please "Read More" .

The Capital Region Rotary Integrity Awards were held on May 8, 2019 at the DoubleTree by Hilton hotel in Edmonton. Nisku-Leduc's winner this year was John Bole. The evening was well attended with 6 members of our club along with John & Joan Bole and 4 family members. There were a total of 10 Integrity Awards presented by Edmonton area clubs and John certainly stood out as a very worthy recipient. John's brief bio is included in the Read More area.

Congratulations to Valarie Wafer on being selected as the Rotary International Director from Zone 24/32 and a place on the RI Board of Directors in 2020-2022.
On Thursday, November 22nd, our regular meeting was moved across the airport property to the STARS hanger. We had a great turnout and not a single person was disappointed with the visit. We had a wonderful breakfast in the Stars meeting room and a great presentation by Stars Director of Events, Sheyanne. A tour of the facility followed with everyone totally amazed at the equipment they have and training that these folks continually go through. If you missed this meeting you missed a very special occasion. Hope we can do it again some time. Photos courtesy of Stuart. Breakfast catered by Square One. This great day arranged by Marilyn. Thanks to all and a special big thank you to staff at Stars.
