Sergeant at Arms Bill Warren opened this week's meeting by introducing the head table, and President-Elect Eric Bennett welcomed all in attendance with his opening remarks. Manon Mitchell led the singing of O Canada, and this week's greeter Madeleine King delivered the invocation. President-Elect Eric thanked this week's volunteers Aly Bandali, Craig Tervit and Bruce Millar. While we had no visiting Rotarians this week, club secretary Jennifer Lavier-Jankovic welcomed our guests. Five club members celebrated birthdays this week. Our "Did You Know?" segment highlighted the Community Hubs Initiative. Eva Friesen introduced new member Janeen Murphy-Webb from the Calgary Foundation, and Walter Chayka introduced Trevor Ironside. Welcome to the Rotary Club of Calgary, Janeen and Trevor. David "Brom" Bromwich recognized David Leslie with a PHF pin presentation, and David shared a few words on the importance of contributing to The Rotary Foundation (TRF) and the Calgary Rotary Clubs Foundation (CRCF). Manon Mitchell presented a cheque to Redefin'd on behalf of the (un)Gala committee. Barbara Young, Madeleine King and Lori Forand told the club that we obtained a used fire truck from the Calgary Fire Department that we will send to Guatemala. Thanks go out to Madeleine for making this possible! Announcements: - We need volunteers to help at the Alexander Community Food Centre from 10:00 am to 3:00 pm on November 27th.
