Larissa P .....   Has a new PUPPY!!!!!

Todd L was happy to be where he be

Rena H - had her youngest graduate from grade 12 - so will be taking her on a well deserved little vaycay to Blue Mountain for the weekend

Roger M - announced that the Satellite Club is back up for July - 2nd and 4th Tuesday every month, 5:30 - 6:30 - all members welcome!

 

and...  my notes say "President Chad - speakers for Satellite Club" - so, I figure either the satellite club has some awesome speakers planned, or, they're looking for help finding some awesome speakers...  probably the first one...

 

President Elect Heidi then introduced our Board of Directors for the 2020/2021 Rotary year!

Tom E - Treasurer

Paul M - Membership

Erica T - Club Foundation

Jim McP - Rotary Foundation

Randy C - Vocational

Roger M - International (and President Elect!)

Linda B - Fundraising

Brian W - PR and IT

Larissa P - Secretary

Rena H - Community Service

Todd L - CEO  (OK, Chief Engagement Officer...  but still, pretty cool title...  I really think we should get name tags, yes, name tags; with our positions on them...)

 

And there is our new board!!!!

President Chad attempted to launch into his much anticipated year-end review...  only to be hi-jacked by Immediate Past President Linda B - at the same time, some parting gifts were delivered to President Chad and Kim - a beautiful Charcuterie board, flowers, and a bottle of 12 year old Scotch. 

 

Linda thanked President Chad for leading our club through an unprecedented time; getting us all on to Zoom, pulling us all together - there was no precedent for this - if there had been, our President could have followed that precedent, but there was not - totally unprecedented times for sure.  If a precedent had been set earlier, this year would have been easier for our President - but without a precedent; we had a President with no precedent.  We are positive President Chad could have followed a precedent, but with out one - President Chad had to literally set the precedent - so for the next President, if a similar unprecedented event comes up, there will now be a president to follow, thanks to Precedent Chad - WELL DONE!!

 

President Chad then reviewed his year- with the theme Rotary Connects the World.

 

President Chad wanted to focus on International water projects, and locally on our community, and it's fine organizations such as KidsAbility, the Food Bank, the Hospital, Veterans, and Langs.

 

President Chad led us through a year of firsts:

- first new Satellite member

- our Don't Meth with Us campaign

- Euchrefest

- Bingo

- Earth Day activities

- face mask construction

- On-line Trivia

- bottle drive

 

And as for cash assistance provided - we can all be VERY proud:
