At our Friday morning meeting we were very happy to hear from Lana MacLean, a clinical social worker and consultant. (See Lana on LinkedIn here) Lana talked about her work in the community around social justice.

 

Thank you Lana for speaking with our club!

 

You can view the recording of Lana’s presentation here and scrolling to the 18 minute mark. Members are reminded that recording are only available for a limited time. Please reach out if you want a recording to be preserved. 

As you may know, World Polio Day is coming up, and to celebrate we are having a Pints for Polio night at the Celtic Corner in Dartmouth. The event will take place on Tuesday, the 25th of October 2022, from 5pm-9pm, and operate as a drop in. Moosehead has generously come on as a sponsor, and will be donating $1 from every pint of Moosehead Lager draught sold that night to Polio Plus!

Beatles Fest is going to be a “major” event and big revenue driver for our club. Just like RibFest, Mother’s Day Brunch, and other events we host, we depend on volunteers. If you are free on the evening of November 18, please reach out to Alex Handyside to ask about volunteer opportunities.

 

We need your help! Without these important events we are not able to support the causes dear to us.

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

For everyone who came to the Westin or join by Zoom for the Club Assembly, thank you!

 

We will have a summary and recording available soon for those who were not able to attend and those who want to see it again.
