March's Featured Rotarian
Hi,
I'm Brittany Bugden, Club Public Relations representative and Secretary-Elect for 2019/20.
I'm a small town Newfoundland girl that moved in 2012 to start a bright future in the Hospitality and Tourism industry after receiving my diploma with honors.
I've lived in a few areas of Alberta, including Camrose, Stettler, Fort McMurray and finally Whitecourt. The small town vibe of Whitecourt I have grown to love, as it reminds me of home on a daily basis.
I come from a large family of volunteers; from Firefighters, Girl Guide leaders, Scouts Canada leaders and more. Volunteering was something that was instilled in us kids in my family at a very young age and we've always been eager to help. I myself went through the Girl Guide program and when moving to Fort McMurray got involved with Scout's Canada as a Cub Scout leader; whose program follow's the "Jungle Map" exploring new challenges and planning adventures as a pack. Cubs are accompanied by many leaders, taking on names from the Disney classic The Jungle Book, I started out as Bagherra and in my final year became the pack master as Akela. Leadership, environment and outdoors, active and healthy living and citizenship were a few topics we touched on with our kids during my years as a leader.
When I moved to Whitecourt, I knew that I wanted to get involved in the community and I wasn't quite sure where to even start, with the help of my lovely boss and this years Rotary Club President Kathy Lee Munro, I joined the "pack" and was initiated into the Rotary club in July 2018, immediately jumping into the Public Relations role and volunteering at as many events as I was able. Seeing how our community comes together to help one another is absolutely astounding.
Out of all of our club's projects, both in the city and internationally I have been able to help improve the live's of many and am excited to help even more as I take over the Club Secretary role for the 2019/20 calendar year.
