Volunteer Exchange - Green Beer for Lobsters

Between our the Border City Rotary Club and our Club, we have a couple large events taking place.  Because of the number of volunteers needed for both fundraisers, a "volunteer exchange" has been suggested.  We offer some volunteer hours at the Irish Pub Night next Saturday March 19th and in return, the Border City Club will offer volunteer hours for our Lobsterfest in May.

The ask is for 3-4 volunteers between 2 shifts; 5-9 or 9-12

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.
Lakeland College Wellness Fair
Our Rotary Clubs will have a booth at the upcoming "Wellness Fair" (see below), put on by Lakeland College.  You could spare an hour or two on Tuesday March 15th, please let President Wayde know.
 
Lakeland College, Lloydminster Campus is hosting a “Wellness… It’s More Than Just Luck “ Wellness Fair on Tuesday, March 15th, 2016 from 11am to 2 pm. This year, the fair will be put on for both Lakeland College students and the Lloydminster community. Exhibitor displays will be held in the gymnasium. Exhibitor displays are important because they provide an opportunity for our community to find out about programs, resources, and organizations in our local community that can help achieve wellness in many areas of life. The focus captures six key areas of wellness: Physical, Mental Health, Social (including volunteer opportunities), Financial, Educational/Occupational and Spiritual. Please note that this is a free event, therefore there is no charge to set up a display.
 
Call for Speakers / Topics
Do you know of someone with an interesting story, an interesting career, or maybe somebody that has been somewhere unique? 
 
This year, I, Jason, your incoming president, want to look out into our Community and find some interesting speakers and topics; the more unique the better.  The one thing that I have seen during my short time with Rotary thus far, is that when it comes to speakers, we tend to hear quite a bit from local charities, philanthropic needs, and fundraising requests.  As a club, we certainly want to support as many charities as possible and we do very good at this, however, I also feel we need to diversify our speaker program.  I want to hear from the guys at Ribstone Creek about their brewery, I want to hear from somebody that is more into drones than I am, I want to hear about someone's unique hobby, I want to hear from Jim over at Rock Creek on how he decided to jump into that type of business. 
 
These are just examples that I thought of while typing this little piece and I'm quite sure there are many other ideas out there.  If you have any, please share them with me and we will try and fit in as many as possible.
