We were honoured to have District Governor Donna Barrett come to our club meeting on Tuesday, July 13th!
Donna met with our Executive before joining our regular club meeting.
She spoke on this year's theme of Service To Change Lives and remarked how our club already has a stellar record of our Service to the community. She also informed us that next years District Conference will be in Edmonton on May 27th and 28th, 2022. Once more information is available about the conference we will be sharing it with the club.
It was an honour to be one of the first clubs in the District the Donna Barrett visited. We look forward to inviting her back for an in person visit when we are meeting again face to face.

Challenge: Get ONE - GIVE 50!
When you get your Covid-19 vaccine, you may want to consider paying it forward by donating $10 USD to the Polio Fund of the Rotary Foundation. After 2:1 matching from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, your $10 USD will pay for 50 polio vaccinations! We are so close to stamping out polio and your donation will help! Plus, polio vaccination infrastructure has already been of assistance in fighting Covid-19.
