Reports on Events
The Fair Raffle was a success with Linda Benoit winning the patio set, Wayne and Carolyn Tymchyshyn won the Gazebo and Travis Morton won the $100 calendar draw.
The Rotary Float in the Fair Parade was also well done and we took second place in our category.
10 Rotarians participated in the Town Cleanup on Monday July 26.
Thanks to everyone who contributed to each of these events.
Upcoming Events
The Rotary Golf Tournament is planned for Saturday August 21 with Ken Rocher organizing the event.
Richard Lavoie is organizing the Bingo volunteers in St Paul on Aug 20.
Volunteers are needed to facilitate breakfast on August 26th. Contact John if you can help with this.
John is planning an evening for community awareness and introducing Rotary to prospective members. This would also be an opportunity to introduce Roosje to the community. Gary Walsh and John Lunty are organizing this.
On Sept 30, fifth Thursday of the month, we are planning an evening social instead of a morning meeting. This will likely include a speaker, a fun activity and food of course. If you can help plan this event please talk to John.
On Sep 23rd our club will be hosting a fundraising Breakfast at the Giant Business Garage Sale. John is looking for someone to take the leadership for organizing this.
Watch for further updates on these upcoming events.
