During our July 29th Rotary Breakfast, Mike Gibson and Alexandra Russell shared details on the Action Team, We Connect People. The presentation covered:

We are Rotarians, and we are People of Action! This year we have grouped the different committees of our club into one of four "Action Teams". But what does this mean? We are using the Action Teams to organize the many things we do into distinct groupings for better clarity. One of the reasons we are doing this is to help members focus on areas of interest. For example, if you are a person who craves hands-on, on-the-ground volunteering, the "We Transform Communities" Action Team is for you! Within this Action Team, there are tons of opportunities to serve our local and international communities.

 

Now it's time you join an Action Team!

We are once again selling Rotary tulip bulbs to raise funds for the End Polio Now Campaign. The tulips sold are ordered from Veseys and can only be obtained from this sale. Each box is $25 for 25 bulbs. And with each box purchased, we will send about $15 to End Polio Now in October after the bulbs have been distributed and paid the invoices. Please contact Stella Roy to place an order.

 

Remember, money from these sales go towards End Polio Now, and our club gets credit for the sales.

 

Deadline pushed August 15th!

At our Friday morning breakfast meeting, we take the time to introduce and recognize Rotary Clubs from around the world.

We have received a couple of requests for help with the temporary housing of students of Rotarians attending Halifax universities.

 

If you, or someone you know, are able to help or offer advice, please reach out to Thomas Paul.

The Rotary Foundation's objectives were agreed upon by the 1945-1946 Rotary International Board and Foundation Trustees and included in the 1946 Manual of Procedures:

A local occupational therapist has approached the club looking for help for a patient. A young man requires adaptations to his family's vehicle for accessibility to the community and it looking for financial support.

 

If any member has any suggestions, connections, or advice, please reach out to Thomas Paul for the contact information of the occupational therapist.

Would you be interested in a club mug? A club t-shirt or sweater? Trading banners? There are tons of things we can order if there was interest. Checkout this website for some ideas: https://www.crsmarketing.ca/
