Based on a vote last week, we will resume weekly meetings. The upcoming meeting will be a little different. President Mike will set up several chat rooms within Zoom and those who volunteered for a committee can choose to go to a committee meeting. If you prefer to simply have a coffee and chat with other members informally you will have that option too.

 

For the Friday meeting here is some information to join.

Mike sent out an "ics" file that I couldn't easily paste into this. Someone smarter than me probably can figure it out. If you received his email, import the file and integrate it into your calendar. It will alert you before every meeting and has the meeting info right there. You won't have to file it separately.

 

 

Our website recently moved. Thank you Erin for all the work on your part coordinating with ClubRunner  to make it happen. Cross our fingers everything should work like it used to even your old bookmarks. Login names and passwords have not changed. For any member who wants to get more out of ClubRunner but doesn't know how, please contact Tom Fletcher. We can set up a time for an "online" tutorial.

 

 

Last Saturday a small but friendly group of club members met on Zoom. This was a very informal meeting. We each had our favourite coffee mug and managed to solve some of the world's problems. Rest assured we left some to solve the next time we meet. If you have a few minutes the next time, consider joining. We only chatted for 1/2 hour but you could drop in just to say hello.

 

 

 

A tradition in the district is honour Rotarians who have past away over the last year. Do you know of any members from long ago who past away recently? The attached info below was sent to all the clubs.

At the request of the Rotary Club of Spruce Grove here is another activity to support the community.

 

 

The need is great even in our community so at a recent board meeting we voted to contribute $500 to the Food Bank. Our original plan was to conduct a food drive. We were going to ask individual Rotarians to help out donating and gathering needed food. That becomes risky in this environment hence the donation of money. As individuals you can still help out by purchasing Sobeys/Safeway gift cards from Erin Stephen then drop them off or mail them to the Food Bank. This helps out our Interact Club and the Food Bank. Information on how to contact Erin follows:

 

Rotarians can send Erin a text. 780-235-7465 Etransfer to erin.stephen@pwc.com It doesn’t require a password. She will arrange a convenient "contactless" drop off.

 

The address of the Strathcona Food Bank is:
