The Buffet is BACK!

Please try to contain your excitement, but the Westin buffet is BACK! Starting at our next meeting at the Westin (February 17th), we will offer the Westin Buffet for a special price of $25 (including tax and gratuity). This is a very special price EXCLUSIVE to our club. Usually, the buffet is $25 plus tax and gratuity.

We are discussing the final details with Westin and will share more soon. Please extend a thank you to Glenn and the Westin team, who have supported our Club for many years!

Ok, now you can celebrate like Micheal Scott...

Rotary Babies Fundraiser **February Only**

We are hosting a quick, fun February fundraiser called "Rotary Babies". You can enter with or without a baby picture. The winner will receive half the pot, and the Club will receive the other half.

Here is what you need to do:

Corporate Membership Survey

Current, former, and potential members are being asked to take a few moments to complete the corporate membership survey here: https://questionpro.com/t/ANw0oZwEkn

The survey is open until February 15, 2023, and is anonymous.

We received a very valid comment in the initial few days of the survey, which is worth sharing. A responder stated that they don't feel our club should have anything to do with corporate membership and that the survey is built in a way that does not provide an opportunity to object. They are correct about the survey.

Rotary Adventure Club

The Rotary Clubs of Halifax Northwest, Yarmouth, and New Minus Sunrise are hosting a vacation draw called the Rotary Adventure Club. There are some amazing cash and vacation prizes! See all the details and buy your tickets here: https://rotaryadventureclub.ca/ With only 1000 tickets for sale and prizes being drawn every month, there are plenty of opportunities to win big!

New Year - New Strategic Plan

Just a heads up that we will review our strategic plan as we enter our calendar new year. This important step is what helps our club create long-term goals to strive towards. This will be led by our very own Chris Hornberger. Please standby for more information.

Hosts Families Needed for Youth Exchange

Our club is recommitting to youth exchange for the 2023-2024 school year. To be able to allow a local student to study abroad and to welcome an international student to NS, we need host families. We like to provide the student with 2-4 host families over the school year. We CAN NOT commit to a student until we know we have host families in the queue.
