2017 Dream Vacation 

It's Back!!

Our Dream Vacation lottery is back for another year with better trips than ever before.  Thank you Stan for organizing this project. 
 
It is now up to us to reach out to our network and sell the tickets.  With 500 tickets to sell, if we all sell 10 tickets we will be sold out in no time. 
 
 
Use Your Air Miles
Trying to think of how to use those Air Miles that are going to expire at the end of this year (and then every 3 months after)??  Why not use them to book a trip to Atlanta in April for the Rotary International Convention??  The hope is that there will be a good size group of us heading down to take in all that goes along with participating in a RI convention.  
 
REP Wine'd Down Social

It was a great evening of food and wine at the Sawmill as the Rotary Employment Partnership committee hosted a Wine'd Down social. 
 
Thank you to all that attended and just a reminder that those that did attended received a "dab" on their team's bingo card. 
 
 
Another Successful Rotary Event
 
For the 3rd year in a row, our club hosted the Rotary Halloween Family Fun Night and once again, it was a huge success.  The event was well attended with all of the 800 candy bags being given out and an easy estimate of over 1000 kids and parents attending the event throughout the evening.  Newcap TV broadcasted live from the event during the 5pm and 6pm news cast which was one of the first times they have done that.  Many positive comments were received during and after the event.  Thank you to all the volunteers and especially the sponsors that made the event possible.  Please remember to say thank you as you cross paths with any of these businesses and/or individuals:

Anatolyi’s story
 
Anatolyi has been managing a small company that makes coffins and gravestones. Anatolyi started working in his mother's company that focused on providing funeral services. Two years ago, he decided to open his own business and began to focus exclusively on coffins and gravestones. He always does quality work. Anatolyi works around the clock, even taking calls at night. Anatolyi is divorced and lives in a studio apartment that he just purchased a month ago. 

Anatolyi needs a sum of 50,000 hryvnia to buy stone for making gravestones since now, seasonally the raw material always drops in price. Anatolyi thinks that now is a good time to invest money into buying the material and saving on the cost.
