May 17, 2016 DATELINE CALGARY: The Friendly Confines of the Storied Alberta Room
By Bill Avery
Michael Pierson attacked the 88 with the strains of Col. Bogie as the Rotary Club of Calgary (Downtown) proudly marched in -- George Brookman was on the billing but failed to show Bill Kaufman, Bill Redmond, Carmen Goss, President Rob Brookwell, Maxine Morrison, Sophie Serafino and Nick Cosentino aptly filled the places of honour. President Rob called the meeting to Order and the club sang a fine rendition of O'Canada briskly played by Michael.Brom was called upon to give the invocation which he did in the manner of a toast to the Universe in gratitude for all the blessings we receive. At this point, luncheon was served.
Embracing Change While Respecting Tradition: The Ignite Team
By Carmen Goss
After receiving the Ignite Report and Executive Summary our membership met prepared to share constructive comments and questions with a goal to developing strategies for our club's future longevity. The theme of the day was "whatever your opinion, change is the one constant of life". We gathered to collectively as a group determine what will ensure our club's prosperity well into the next 100 years.
There are a number of members of the Rotary Club of Calgary (RCC) on the Calgary Rotary Clubs Foundation (CRCF) Board. Each of the Calgary clubs that participate in the CRCF have a certain number of representatives on the Board who serve for specified terms. Our Club By-laws set out a ratification process that involves a vote of members present at a specified meeting. The RCC Board of Directors have recommended two individuals to join the CRCF Board and a vote will be held at our June 7th meeting to ratify their appointment. The motion to be considered and passed at this meeting is as follows:
"The Rotary Club of Calgary nominates Mr. Don Dart and Mr. Brent Alexander to the CRCF Board for terms that are governed by the CRCF By-laws."
