They have been meeting at the same location, The Royal Hawaiian Hotel, since 1961. They are renowned for creating, developing, and maintaining the Children’s Justice Center and also created and maintained the Friends of Foster Children. This club works throughout the United States.

Club Assembly & Social - September 28 @ 6PM
Assemblies are an important time to talk about the club, our vision, and brainstorm ideas for the future. Assemblies are less about day-to-day business and more about club strategy. Potential members may find assemblies valuable and are welcome.
 
Our next club assembly will be on September 28 @ 6PM at the Westin Nova Scotian Lunenburg Room. Everyone is invited to the Seaport Social (hotel bar) for an informal social opportunity following the assembly.
 
This meeting will be in-person and on Zoom. If you plan to attend the assembly, please register. You can register and find more information here: https://rotaryhalifaxharbour.ca/event/club-assembly-2/
Calling Nominations
We host our AGM in the late fall (November - December), where we nominate officers and board members for the following Rotary year (July 2023 - June 2024). A formal message will be sent to members about nominations, plus nominations can be made at the AGM. If you are interested in learning more or developing Rotary leadership experience, please keep an eye out for more information, or contact Jillian.
Pints for Polio Fundraiser
The Metro Halifax Rotary Clubs are hosting a Pints for Polio night at the Celtic Corner in Dartmouth on October 26. For every Moosehead sold, $1 will be donated to the Polio Fund.
 
More details to come. Please reach out to Ashley Butt for more details.
