Adieu September!

October is here! Summer is gone! The District Conference is only a couple of weeks away!

September was a great month:

  • Visited a number of clubs from corner to corner of our District

  • First meeting at the Tibetan Cultural Center for the creation of a new Rotary Club in District 7070

  • Presidents Elect Training Session # 3 - our trip to Rotary International Headquarters in Evanston, Illinois – thank you to Gina from Rotary International and Crystal from Paragon Travel. They have arranged a great trip. Thank you to Air Canada. They helped us share some special moments in terminal 2 at O’Hare…

  • Start of Fall – mother nature will paint the trees in a multitude of colours.

  • Zone 28 & 32 training – finally able to meet in person with the District Governors from our Zone

  • Rotary Foundation Walk – thank you to the clubs in region 2 (in the Regional Municipality of Durham) for a successful walk.

Rotary’s Goals:

  • Strengthening the development of local entrepreneurs and community leaders, particularly women, in impoverished communities

  • Developing opportunities for decent and productive work, with a focus on women and youth

  • Building the capacity of local organizations and community networks to support economic development

  • Supporting studies related to economic and community development

 

We Have a Dream!

After months of meetings, planning, and careful organization we have put together an amazing conference. Big Thank You to the Organizing Committee!

To dream is to imagine possibilities! We have 7 areas of focus. There are 7 primary colours, look at what artists are able to do with those seven colours. I urge to join us at Nottawasaga and dream what difference in the world can you make with the 7 areas of focus? Our conference will help you dream the possibilities.
