Due to a need to update, refresh and simplify the District 5370 Bylaws and to align with all of the Canada Not for Profit Corporation requirements; the Board requested the Governance Committee to undertake the work to review and update the bylaws.

 

The work to update the Bylaws was a year-long process that included a comprehensive review by the Board Governance Committee, a due diligence process that included review of suggested changes by the District legal counsel, and 4 reviews by the District Board. The Board approved the changes at the October 2021 meeting.

 

As these Bylaw changes need to be ratified by the Membership, the Board has scheduled a Special General Meeting on April 26, 2022 at 7 pm via ZOOM. A motion recommending the ratification of the amended bylaws will be presented at that time. The meeting will provide members with an opportunity for discussion and questions.

 

Please see links the revised District 5370 Bylaws and the previous Bylaws.

 

Club presidents have been asked to review these documents with their members and to forward any questions to our Office Administrator (office@rotary5370.org) by April 15, 2022.  Responses to questions at the Special General Meeting.

 

The April 26 Special General Meeting is open to all District Rotarians and Rotaractors. Voting delegates should identify themselves on the registration form. Please register by clicking on the link.

Yours in Rotary Service,

We encourage every student to apply for this opportunity as we promote diversity and inclusion. Please let us know how many students your club will be sponsoring by April 8th 2022.

Tax time is a great time to review your personal papers and dispose of documents no longer needed, in a safe and secure manner.   Shredfest, a collaboration between the Rotary Clubs of Edmonton Mayfield and Riverview, is a great opportunity for doing this. Shredfest is a Rotary Day of Service Project which supports the new Rotary Area of Focus on the Environment since the shredded material is recycled and diverted from the landfill. Bring your boxes of papers or Shred bags to Shredfest on May 7th, at Kingsway Mall 9-1 pm.   You can prepurchase sealable Shred bags for $25, then drop the Shred bags off at Shredfest May 7 at Kingsway Mall and watch them being shredded. Shred bags hold the equivalent of two storage boxes and includes your $20 donation to Rotary Shredfest.   Pick Up your Shed bags at EBike Edmonton Retail location 9927 76 Ave, Edmonton or purchase them at the regular meetings of the Rotary Clubs of Edmonton Mayfield or Riverview.     Zoom link to register https://us06web.zoom.us/j/89926799783?pwd=cW54QnFjNUxLL1Y2TFkvR3ROMUFmUT09
