Lobsterfest - Kim reports that early bird pricing is over and was a great success with 300 tickets sold to date.......but the work is not over. Tickets are now $95 ($85 for full table) and we need to sell the other 300. Keep up the good work!

Antonette, on behalf of the Interact Club, invited us to support their Global Gala on June 13.  Proceeds will go to Victims Services locally, and to the water project in Costa Rica on which Interact is partnering with our Club. They need sponsors
 
District Conference May 1-3 in Conference. If you are a curler please note the Brad Gushue is a features speaker along with several other quality presenters. Great opportunity to mix with District Rotarians and expand your knowledge and enthusiasm for Rotary.
 
Barrie spoke on Dragonboats. For new members this is not solely a club event but one which involves All Rotary Clubs in the City. It is run by an all club committee that is working on a strategy to to invigorate the event and more importantly the volunteer base. Several positions are needed on the all club board.... treasurer, site manager, secretary. media, volunteer tent mgr and we (as a club) need to provide a chairperson for 2022.
 
Connect/Reconnect - Nick the Greek will host Kevin Ronan and Jerry Bowers and Karen Gunn will host Joanna Kappel and Kirk Mearns. Note the good advice in the picture section to the left!
 
Monthly Projects - The January Group has a project pending with the Family Center and the February Group pending with the Soup Sisters and Brothers. March's group (Brenda, Dennis, Joanna, Don, Rudy, Bruce and Dale) are working on something for this month........but its a secret....I can't tell you!
 
Have a great week!
 
 
 
 
Ann Kish spoke about Ordinary Heros, a school program to build resiliency, self esteem and conflict resolution skills in students. Adults (not necessarily family) often don't realize the impact their encouragement and support have on our youth.
Always Good Advice
