    PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
     
     
     
    Wonderful Rotarians,
     

    Please join me in celebrating our Club's birthday tomorrow (March 29).  Happy 86th Birthday!  Our Club was chartered on March 29th, 1937.  Thank you for being part of such a fantastic organization dedicated to make real change in this world.
     
    I am attaching the minutes from last night's meeting.  The clubhouse was packed and a vibrant feel was in the air with all of the Youth amongst us.  
     
    It truly is a great time to be a Rotarian!
     
     
    President David

    Brenton Thorvaldson
    Brenton shared an inspiring address to the youth, speaking about his path and struggles in the world beyond high school. Patience, perseverance, fear of failure, and including words of wisdom. Brenton then played his first song, “This House” and followed with “Train Wreck.” A great role model for these students.

    INFORMATION: EACH MEETING'S PROCESS
     
    We continue to meet at Selkirk Golf & Country Club on the 2nd and 4th Mondays of each month.
     
    When you arrive there will be a designated table set up with name badges, the “money tray” and a member list.  Please remember to wear your badge and then leave it on the table at the conclusion of the meeting. On the membership list, please check off your name and your method of payment for your meal ($20.00 for a meal, $5.00 for coffee and dessert).
    Fellowship begins around 5:30 pm. And the meeting formally begins at 6 P.M.  Traditionally we open each meeting with the signing of O Canada, followed by Grace and the Land Acknowledgement.  If there are any guests, they would be introduced at that time. Dinner is then served.
    Following dinner, one of the members will introduce the guest speaker. If anyone ever has any suggestions for a speaker, please let David or Jean know...any suggestions are welcome.
    A Rotarian is asked in advance to thank the speaker.
    Any business for discussion or for club information is then done.
    This will conclude the meeting.
     
    Please make every effort to let Jean know by Sunday at the latest as to your attendance at the meetings and if you are eating.  Out of courtesy it is appreciated if we let Diane know the number of tables and dinners to prepare.  Try not to sit at the same table each week but move around and meet the new members and ones you haven’t seen for a while.
    We are soon to be going over committee structures and looking for volunteers.  Getting involved in the Executive or on any committee is a great way to understand Rotary , but as in any organization getting involved is what keeps you interested.
     
    Some of our members have 40 plus years in the club and have been involved in every aspect of the club... their interest continues to be a support to us.
     
    Jean
