The Rotary Club of Kamloops Daybreak was chartered on April 1, 1986, a fitting date for our club! We are a friendly boisterous group that enjoys hands-on projects, both in our community, and in developing countries. Come join us for breakfast and laughs!

We value inclusion, respect, hugs, and a great sense of humour!

The Less Triumphant Return to Zoom Meetings

With the most recent changes to Public Health Orders, unfortunately our hybrid meetings are a fond memory for the time being...

But that doesn't mean we won't meet! Watch your email for the link to our weekly meetings (hint: it's the same meeting code every week!), or sign into clubrunner and see the link above. If you are completely helpless or you are not a member but would like to visit our club, please send a request for the link to Gurdeep on the list to the right!

Having trouble setting up Zoom? Reach out to anyone on the exec and they will find a volunteer willing to help you while maintaining all required social distancing!

Side note - our next regular meeting will be January 8, 2021, but it sounds like there may be some fun on the night of Friday, December 18 - check your email!

Rotarians at Work - Salvation Army Kettle at Sahali BC Liquorstore

Some things have been lost this year, but thankfully some have stayed the same!

Michael Schreiner has again organized our Rotarians to volunteer at the Salvation Army Kettle Bell at the Sahali BC Liquorstore! It sounds like there a couple of shifts left, so if you have not done your part, please find your email from Mike and get out there!

You might even look as good as Sara Lawson and Ed Hanes below....

World Polio Day - October 24, 2020

Rotary has been working to eradicate polio for more than 35 years, and we’ve made incredible progress in the fight to rid the world of it forever.

As a founding partner of the Global Polio Eradication Initiative, we've helped to reduced polio cases by more than 99.9 percent.

It’s crucial to eradicate polio from the last two countries where it remains endemic and to keep other countries polio-free.

If all eradication efforts stopped today, within 10 years, polio could paralyze as many as 200,000 children each year.

Great job Daybreak Rotary, and great job Kamloops!

Daybreak supports Urgent Food Relief in Sri Lanka

Daybreak Rotary received an urgent request: due to shutdowns related to Covid 19, a huge number of People in Sri Lanka who rely on daily work to feed their families were suddenly without any income or government assistance, and were in imminent danger of starvation!

Pierangeli Andrado, president of the Hambantota Heritage Society, helped identify the recipients in need and Daybreak contributed food distribution to over 155 families!

The Triumphant Return to In-Person Meetings at the Delta Kamloops

After three hard months away from each other, our club is finally going to back to our in-person meetings at 6:45 am on Fridays at the Delta Kamloops. Unfortunately, like much else in the world, things won't be quite back to normal as yet.... There are a few changes that will be necessary for us to resume our in-person meetings.

Here is the process to manage attendance for our in-person meetings:

An email will be sent to the membership on Monday mornings signalling that sign up is open for the following Friday.
There will be opportunities for up to 50 people to attend the in-person meeting each week. The numbers fluctuate depending on the room allocated. Spaces will also be taken up each week by members running the meeting and presenting.
The first email responses received will be signed up.
Wednesday morning another email will be sent out to the membership with a list of the members who are signed up to attend that week.
Those attending will pay ~~$23.00~~ $20.00 for breakfast. Members are requested to pay by cash, although cheque and credit card services are available (the club pays 4% on credit charges).
If a member has signed up for the meeting, but does not show up, they will be billed the $20.00.
If a member signs up but cannot attend the meeting, they may contact Gurdeep or Danica, and we will try our best to fill the seat.
For now, the only guests attending meetings will be those who are presenting or who are pre-registered, as above.

If this sounds like too much for you, well, come on, we're all trying our best!

On the other hand, if can't attend a meeting because you are sick, you don't want to get sick, or you missed the registration cut, we will be attempting to simulcast the meetings via Zoom. To participate on Zoom, please see the email from Morgan with meeting credentials, or sign into Clubrunner and get the details on the Kamloops Daybreak homepage.

Sergeant At Arms Committee Duties

Posted by David Deol on Feb 06, 2017

This is the team that makes sure the room is set up with all the important stuff to run our meetings. Once the meeting is over, they are the ones that put the stuff away again. Watch out, they are also looking for the most innovative way to fine you also, so be on your guard.

These folks also look after guests and do the Happy Bucks.

Tips & Hacks for Clubrunner

Posted by Sean McKenna on Dec 04, 2014

Did you know that your Newsletter email is tailored to you, showing at the bottom, your commitments to Events and Committees?

Do you have the Clubrunner App on your phone, that allows you to access the Club members contact lists and call/email with just one touch?

Report Your Make-ups!

Posted by Terry-Lynn Stone on Dec 31, 2012

On our Webpage we have a NEW link to email the Club Secretary your Make-up information. Look on the left side under Club Links... report your visits to other clubs, attendance at work projects and events.. and keep both YOUR attendance up, and the Club's attendance record up as well!

Club Emails - reduce them!

Posted by Sean McKenna on Oct 31, 2010

We use our website to communicate new Events and Announcements to the membership.

You can reduce how many you receive by replying to the Events, or using your Password, you can login and select Attend/Decline. Either way will keep you from getting any more "Invitations" to that Event. The system knows who has responded and only Invites those who we have no response from.

If you need a new password, just ask! (reply)

The Events tool allows us to ensure we have enough volunteers or attendees when we commit to help somewhere, or plan a get together.

Thanks!
