See you Tomorrow

 

Hopefully you have your tickets to Border City Rotary Club's Irish Pub.  Doors open at 5:30 with dinner at 6:30.  Still not too late to get a ticket or buy one at the door. See you tomorrow!
 
The crew will be setting up this evening if anyone wants to swing by and lend a hand.  I'm also sure someone needs to do a check of a couple beers for quality control purposes.
 
Mark Your Calendars

April 18th we have scheduled a representative from Lakeland College to come speak to us about the Center for Sustainable Innovation which includes the Renewable Energy Learning Centre (RELC), a net-zero energy target building incorporating multiple combined renewable energy generation systems. .

April 25th will be our yearly "Rural / Urban" meeting and this year we plan to meet at Ribstone Creek Brewery in Edgerton Alberta.

May 9th we will be joined by the Border City Rotary club to go through an actual lesson plan with Junior Achievement Saskatchewan.

May 2nd is a VERY important Club Assembly.  This meeting will set the stage for the 2016-2017 Rotary year.  Be prepared to hear from each of the committee chairs on their past year in a "Dragon's Den" style of pitch.   

 

Wellness Fair

 

This past week, our Rotary Club had a booth at the Lakeland College's Wellness Fair with over 50 other booths.  Other booths included local health services (yoga, Steps for Life), financial services (ATB, Servus, Synergy),  and local support services (Walking through Grief, Big Brothers Big Sisters) as examples.  Our club was asked to have a booth because growing your network and Service Above Self are certainly ways to build wellness personally and throughout our community.
 
Thank you to President Wayde, Jill Applegate, and Randy Aston for manning the booth and promoting our Club.
 
 
Dream Vacation - February Winner
We had to keep this one a secret until we could invite him to one of our meetings to surprise him.  Congrats to Duane Almond as he was the winner of February's trip to Paris France!!
 
The winner of $100 was Carol Schneider
The winner of $50 was Kyle Luc
 
 
Handivan Needs Volunteers
Every two years, our local Lloydminster Handivan Society signs up to work the Camrose Casino for a couple nights and in return the organization receives a fairly substantial donation to put towards a new van or infrastructure.
 
The organization is looking for volunteers to assist them on Tuesday May 24th and Wednesday May 25th with working the casino from 3pm until late (or whatever hours you are able to offer).  From previous conversations, it is very simple and light work.  There would be some compensation offered for fuel and accommodation if needed.
 
Please get in touch with Glenn Fagnon 780-214-6666 or Jason Whiting  780-870-1346 if you are able to provide some assistance.
 
Rotary Leadership Institute Training UPDATE

Please be advised that due to low enrollment, this training session has been canceled.  We will advise at a later date of another session.
Are You Reading This???
Be warned!!  Memorize your non-curse word or write it down as you may be fined if you are caught not being able to repeat it to the club!
 
However, if more than 75% of our club knows and remembers their non-curse word, then I, the Sergeant for Monday, will foot the bill for the balance of the levy ($50).
