ROTARY CLUB OF YELLOWKNIFE
Weekly Newsletter – January 21
 
Greeting All Members!  Here’s what we have going on:
 
Our Weekly Meeting is at the usual place, Explorer Hotel, Kat C Room
 
  • ROTARY RADIO DAYS - Please be sure to bring any sold ads to Tim at tomorrow's luncheon.  So far 17 ads have been turned in and only 4 need voicing which will make for a very quiet first production day on February 1st.
  • February 14 – POSTPONED: Rotary workshop "Me and Rotary" in Yellowknife on Sat Feb 14th (8:30am-4pm).  This training helps Rotarians gain Rotary knowledge, a perspective about where Rotary has been, where Rotary is now and a vision of what Rotary can be in the future. The workshop is participative, interactive and fun with lots of discussion. All Rotarians benefit, whether new or long term members and it is a great way to learn more about Rotary in a condensed time frame.
     
  • Let Emilie know about your interest in the "Me and Rotary" workshop in Yellowknife.
     
  • February 23-27 – Tiptoe Thru the Caribou, see Emilie if you want to help, need billets for three nights only - Feb 23-26
