The Triumphant Return to In-Person Meetings at the Delta Kamloops
After three more 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!
 
On the other hand, if you can't attend a meeting because you are sick, you don't want to get sick, or any other reason, we are continuing 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. If you are a guest who would like to visit a meeting via Zoom, please email membership chair Liane Gottgetreu per the link on the right!

Daybreak does Christmas Right!
Everyone has their Christmas traditions, and so does Daybreak, using the season the serve!
 
Daybreakers volunteered with Downtown Kamloops Santa Parade, served 300+ people in need at Pit Stop's Christmas Dinner, served the Kamloops Brain Injury Association's annual Christmas dinner, rung the bell for the Salvation Army outside the Sahali liquor store, and fundraised with the Aurora Club out at Privato and Woodward Cider's Christmas Tree events!

Daybreak Donates!
A great initiative our Past President Tony Gilbert initiated at Rotary Club of Kamloops Daybreak to have a more direct impact within our community was to present children's books to our meeting presenters to sign and donate back to our literacy programs. We are happy to announce that we have donated approximately 45 books and counting! It's a great feeling to know these wonderful books will be put into the hands of children. Our newest President Danica Wilkinson will continue this great initiative through her term as well! Literacy in Kamloops #givingbacktothecommunity #childrensliteracy #yka #books
 
Daybreak at Work! Pergola at Overlander
Daybreak Develops! Barra de Navidad Special Needs School
The Barra de Navidad Special Needs School, located in Jalisco Mexico, is the only school in the region that caters to children with special needs. While the school attempts its own fundraising initiatives, money raised typically goes toward the busing program that picks children up from all the neighboring communities around the school. Little funding is left for special infrastructure projects. As a result, the facilities at the school are limited. With financial support from the Rotary Foundation, Kamloops Daybreak Rotary has stepped up to help the school. Working with local contractors, an outdoor covered common area has been built that will allow the children to play outside and stay protected from the heavy rains of winter and the intense heat in the summer.
 
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.

Helping at Home - Kamloops Rotary Food Drive & Food Sorting
Kamloops Daybreak Rotary answered the call to service yet again with the Food Bank Food Drive on September 19th, and sorting the collected food at the Food Bank on October 2nd!
 
This time the Food Drive collected over 57,000 pounds of food, a new record for the fall!

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 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!

12 Years of Food Drive Results!
It's been 12 years since the Rotary Clubs of Kamloops took over the Kamloops Food Bank Food Drive, and look at how much food we have brought in to help feed those in need!
 
It's the equivalent of 1,177,000 canned hams, which President Tony didn't even come close to selling back when he was a canned meat sales rep!
 
Be sure to put September 19th in your calendar and watch for details for our fall Food Drive...

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

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
Club Emails - reduce them!

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!
