Welcome to Volume 39 of the COG
Welcome everyone to Volume 39 of the Rotary Club of Calgary's COG Newsletter for the Rotary year 2021-2022.
 
As our club continues to do all the great work it does and as we are seeking engagement of ALL our members, it is important, and probably critical, to be able to send out relevant information in a timely manner without taking increasingly longer to make announcements at club meetings.
 
What you will not find in the COG is a rehash of what happened at club meetings. Since we do record our meetings, they are available on our YOUTUBE channel for viewing at your leisure; we'll add recent ones to the bottom of this newsletter.
 
We will continue to celebrate birthdays and share some Rotary bits of information as well as provide links to register for both Club and District events.
 
We wish to present the activities of our different committee meetings and invite Committee Chairs to send us short updates. When you share the great things you are working on, you also attract new members to your committee!
 
We plan on publishing the COG every two (2) weeks.
 
This is YOUR newsletter so we need YOUR content. We look forward to sharing YOUR information with others. Submit your content to Andrea Serink or Diane Macdonald.

Foundations Campaign
Did you know that a contribution to either the Rotary Foundation OR the Calgary Rotary Clubs Foundation is the financial commitment we make as Rotarians to our club?  November is Foundations month. Learn all about our two (2) great Foundations which allow us to have a significant impact on our community. This year we are launching a NEW POINTS MATCHING campaign!

Field of Crosses
To help honour our veterans this November, Rotary members from various clubs including many from our own will be volunteering to help make this event a successful one. The Field of Crosses Memorial Project erects 3500 crosses along Memorial Drive and is available for the public to visit starting November 1st. Sunrise and Sunset ceremonies are held each day from November 1st until November 10th. For the Night of Lights on November 10th, our club is partnering with other Calgary Clubs to sponsor the lighting of a candle on each cross. A Remembrance Day ceremony is held at the field on November 11th.
