Our District Governor Tracey Vavrek's journey started with a beautiful 13 hour drive from Grande Prairie through magnificent country to Yellowknife. They were welcomed by wild bison along the way.
Rotarians and the community of Yellowknife welcomed them with open arms and shared their pride in the history of their community. Here are a few photos and memories from their journey!

We had a great presentation from Brenda Le on the Adventures in Citizenship program. Here's a few of her images from her presentation!
Bethany has shared with us another update about her exchange trip in Czech Republic and a visit from her parents. Read about it here!
A short while ago we did Christmas wreaths again. It's a major fundraiser for our service projects - none of the money goes to club administration. supplies, travel, lunches, etc.
And great thanks are overdue to the Joint Task Force North members who helped out A LOT:
Master Seaman Tyler Grant, Petty Officer 2nd Class Belinda Groves (also took great pictures - check out our Facebook page for them!!!), Captain Andrea Harrison, Major Jason Blake, Corporal Jessie Drown, Tina Schauerte.
The Rotary Club of Yellowknife would like to thank the Union of Northern Workers for their continued support of the Kids Ahead program, which delivers healthy snacks to elementary school children in Yellowknife. The Union of Northern Workers has been proud to support Rotary in bringing the Kids Ahead program to local schools for the past 13 years.
Since funding has been confirmed for the project, we'll need a chair and volunteers to coordinate the delivery of snacks to the schools. If you're interested in helping out with this community project, please get in touch with Chris Potyok and he'll be able to get you started.
Thanks to Peter Vician for his talk and continued support to the School Project in Mozambique yesterday in partnership with the Gateway club in Edmonton.
I want to remind everyone that in the coming weeks we expect to have presentations forthcoming from Chris Potyok regarding clean water and sanitation systems for children in the Philippines, and from Nazim Awan regarding a clean water pump system in a community in Pakistan.
If anyone has other suggestions for International projects that our club would be interested in being involved in, now is the time to let us know. Speak to any member of the executive and we'll set you up with the process to qualify your project and present it to us.
The Rotary Club of Yellowknife presented Gillian Anderson with an award in recognition of Crowe MacKay's continued support of the club. Thanks!
Finding
potential new members for our club is much easier than you think. As this excerpt from Club Runner Newsletter shows, in our day-to-day activities, we can simply promote the features and benefits of
Rotary when the opportunity arises.
Adapted from previous issue of Membership Matters.
This article will explain the procedures required to propose a new member to our club. In the past, the process has become confused, and this article should set the procedure straight.
