WHAT'S GOING ON IN ROTARY AND THE NEIGHBOURHOOD - January 1, 2024
PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
2024 - ITS A NEW YEAR!
I hope everyone had a great Holiday Season visiting with Family and Friends. It's time to take the House decorations down and get Back to Rotary.
But before we focus on the next six months, let’s pause a minute and reflect on the successes of the last six months - Canada Day Celebration, the Icewine Event and the Holiday House Tour. All very different events but all a great success. Thank You to all the Rotary Teams and Members that put Hands on Deck and got each event done - what a great accomplishment!
Last but not least, thank you to Steve Hinchliffe and Jeannie Manning for organizing a Fun Holiday Dinner at the Golf Course - it was great to see everyone out talking and laughing with delicious food and plenty of wine.
Looking forward, JANUARY 9TH is our First Rotary Meeting of 2024 and it is going to be really interesting. FIRST we will be inducting a NEW MEMBER GRAHAM MCMILLAN. SECOND we will have a local fitness team from Niagara Fit talking about how we can improve our Health and Wellbeing and maybe meet one of our New Year Resolutions. And THIRD, we will be asking our Members if we want to meet at a pub on the Tuesdays in January and February that we don’t have meetings.
In the Background, the Paul Harris Nominating Committee headed by Greg Fedoryn, has put together a slate of potential recipients for this year to be approved by The Board and the Members at Club Assembly on January 23rd. And there has been a request to the Membership for recommendations for Board Positions for Incoming President and Treasurer for the 2024/25 year. The ISC and CSC Committees are busy with local and international projects.
So let’s do what we Rotarians do best - Service that improves our Community and makes the World a better place for all.
UPCOMING MEETINGS/EVENTS
Jan 9 - Robb Chrzaszcz from Niagara Fit. It's a New Year and with that comes New Years resolutions which always includes 'more exercise and getting fit'. Robb and his team will speak to that and tell us all how we can meet that goal.
Jan 23 - Club Assembly
Feb 6 - TBD
Feb 20 - Club Assembly
