A new president's at the helm of the Portage Rotary Club. Yesterday's luncheon saw Cathie MacFarlane hand over the torch to Peter Fedak.
Fedak shares his focus for Rotary and his new position.
MacFarlane Placing the president's pin on Fedak"Things I've been watching and listening and learning about Rotary Club. My thing is, what makes the Rotary Club different," he asks. "A lot of that is the fellowship, and maybe learning something and improving yourself to go back out and pass that other knowledge to the community."
Fedak says a Gala's slated again for next spring. A new side to the Gala will be a golf ball drop from a helicopter. He explains they have initial approval from the Lotteries office in Manitoba to drop 1,000 golf balls from a helicopter and watch which one falls closest to the target to win the prize.

Other professional speakers are planned to bring professional development to members including a lunch lecture on leadership, explaining how to run events better and organize themselves better to more efficiently fulfill their part. Moving forward, other new events will definitely be created, as well as new ways of doing things so members don't regret anticipating the same old same old. Fedak adds the membership and community should both be excited about Rotary activities.
