This is evening meeting was hosted by our Past Pres Greg at the very beautiful Nanaimo Golf Course!

 

 

 

 

Ed is requesting that everyone bring their sold 50/50 tickets to the next meeting so that he can get organized for the Draw Night on May 31st, 2016. There is one more selling event at Walmart on Sunday May 29th, and Ed will send out for Volunteers closer to the date.  Sounds like we are on track to almost meet last years sales. Lets try to top it!!!!

 

Jim spoke of the Shop and Dine and how SLOW ticket sales are going.  This is happening on Saturday May 28th and is a great deal for both the shops and the customers!  Get your tickets from Jim soon.

 

Fires in Northern Alberta-  Doug told us the Rotary District 5370 Charitable Foundation (Northern Alberta) has created the Fort McMurray Fire Relief Fund to help out with infrastructure costs and asked if any members would like to contribute. Numerous members did contribute and Doug will send off the monies.

 

Paul shared that the Daybreak Club is having a Golf Tournament at Cottonwood on May 27th and he would love to have a couple of members join him.   Please contact Paul if you are interested.

 

Barb shared that the busy Daybreak Club is holding their Community Shred on Saturday May 14th for 10-2 at the North Town Centre Mall.  I understand the cost is $10 per box.

 

Programs- This is going to change next year.  Barb and Audrey have been doing this, but come August it will be up to Club Members to get speakers.  More to come on this.

 

Bill is in need of Hamburger Cookers!  On June 8th at the Woodlands High School, they will be cooking 350 burgers!  The kids are attending a Musical and will have lunch after.  Should be a great day for them!

 

Big News that Daniel's Mom is coming out for a visit!  He is excited to have the club meet her.

 

 

RYLA is a Student Leadership Conference that we send selected students from different schools to in Tacoma.  It has been happening for 47 years and sounds amazing.

This year we sent 4 students, Emily Simpson, Gr 11 from John Barsby, Ramneek Gill Gr. 11 from John Barsby, Haley Carolan Gr 12 from Dover Bay and Sultan Bakyt Gr 10 from Woodlands.  These students are wonderful speakers and spoke of how much they learned from the event and who their favourite speakers were.  They talked about it giving them more confidence, and inspiration.  They all were very thankful for this amazing experience and were going to share with other students they knew to go if they ever had the chance.  Sounds like the students even learned to juggle!
