*** March 1, 2022 Meeting ***
To All RCC-D Members,
After two years of ducking, masking, hiding behind ZOOM and generally isolating, it is time to get out and do what we do best!! Namely sharing our lives and enjoying the friendship bond between all of us as Rotarians.
March 1st will be a big in-person meeting celebrating the amazing exploits and accomplishments of James Wheeler Davidson over One Hundred years ago. Sign up now for this $75.00 lunch that launches us into relief from two years of restrictions and hiding out.
Be there for a great meeting, celebrating a great Rotarian and a great year ahead. Let’s break bread……together!! There will be entertainment and a cash bar for this special meeting.

Home Space, Small Donations Committee
By Franco Savoia
The Rotary Club of Calgary, through its Small Donations Committee, was pleased to be part of this multi-club project in partnership with HomeSpace. It leveraged its $5000 contribution with Rotary District Funds to $12,500. In turn this was leveraged with the Calgary Fish Creek, Calgary Heritage Park, Calgary Millennium, Calgary Olympic, Calgary Sarcee and Calgary West Rotary Clubs to $72,500.
HomeSpace, a provider of social housing in Calgary, is upgrading 8 existing family units to provide the dignity and serenity of a nice home where children and youth will grow up with fond memories.
HomeSpace’s four affordable multifamily housing developments were built a number of years ago and, a number of them are in need of major rehabilitation. When needed and as vacancies arise, HomeSpace renovates these facilities to fix any deficiencies and make them like new. This preserves affordable housing units in the community without the cost and time involved in new construction.
This project includes investing in the renovations in multiple units at the four Family housing apartment buildings. These units are typically 1, 2 or 3-bedroom for youth and families with children, and many need some TLC to bring them up to standard.
Through Rotary’s contribution HomeSpace will do upgrades - specifically flooring, painting and major and minor interior renovations to repair and modernize the home spaces. Rotary’s investment is ensuring that families are able to build their family memories in an affordable place they are proud to call home.
Please Update Your Biography on Club Runner
By Catherine Scheers
Did you know that our incoming President, Madeleine King, has been diligently going into our ClubRunner files and trying to update the biographies of our members? You can imagine how overwhelming this job is for a large club like ours.
Could you please help out by updating your own biography? It’s under the Profile section of ClubRunner. Also there is a place to put a link to your LinkedIn profile, which is even easier than updating your biography. Once you are in the ClubRunner Profile, Biography section and in edit mode, a tiny chain link symbol – and if you hit that then it prompts you to paste the link. Thanks, everyone!
Proudly Presenting Our Corporate Members
