Last Monday was a special Rotary meeting, as we celebrated the induction of 5 new members to our Club! We’re proud to introduce: Mike Alexander, Melissa Lauzon, Colin McKillop, Sydney Thompson and Michael Wills. Welcome to Rotary Club of Windsor (1918).
Rotary International says it best: You make Rotary stronger. By adding your skills, experience, and enthusiasm to your club, you can advance communities at home and on a global scale.
Together, we can eradicate polio, train more skilled peacemakers, and provide lasting solutions for communities fighting disease, hunger, illiteracy, and poverty.
Through the Rotary community, you can exchange ideas and build lifelong friendships with people who share your passion for service.
Members celebrating their Club anniversaries this week. Thank you for your commitment:
Carl Cohen (34 years)
Kay Douglas (9 years)
Kevin Larkin (5 years)
Joel Rocheleau (1 year)
Notes from President Colleen:
Our Club is supporting the Community Meal program of the Salvation Army on Wednesday every week. If you are able to help serve the meal please contact Sue Byron or Sevda Barin. Your support of this initiative is appreciated.
On April 18 members are invited to attend the meeting of the Walkerville Rotary Club to hear a very interesting speaker, John Currie, who is with the group Honouring Indigenous People. The meeting starts at 6:00 pm and is located at the Walter D Kelly Life Celebration Centre, 1969 Wyandotte Street East. If we have 4 members in attendance we will qualify for our Passport to Service award. Please let me know if you plan to attend. I will not be able to attend as I am serving the Community Meal on that date.
For the District conference Rotarians are asked to submit pictures of any babies born to Club Rotarians (we have a couple this year for sure!), grand babies or great grand babies - born between July 1, 2017 and end of April. If you are interested in submitting please forward pictures to Paul Charbonneau (Rotary St. Clair) at paul@hcamindbox.com.
As the culmination of the Rotary Club of Windsor (1918) Centennial, a fun-filled and extravagant evening is planned in the elegant Augustus Ballroom of Caesars Windsor. With Past Rotary International Vice President Jennifer Jones emceeing the event and Rotary International President Ian Riseley and his wife Past District Governor Juliet as guests of honour, the gala is sure to impress.
Come experience amazing food, beautiful views and true Rotarian fellowship as we celebrate 100 years of Service Above Self.
