The executive committee has given the direction to fund the Uganda girl's student enrolment another year. This year we are including a different fund raising effort by using Google Ad's in combination with our SquareUp online service. Our efforts to build out this platform will be with a budget of $500.

We had a great evening together with our RotarAction group this past month. It was a great service event where we packaged and froze 60 meals for the families that are staying at the Ronald McDonald House. The evening included a tour of the amazing facilities - 34 families staying there at a time. It was a great service event called “Meals that Mend”. We had 11 of us from our Rotary Club, our Rotaract Club and couple of friends of Rotary.

Rotarians can sign up to attend or host a dinner on one of the following dates. Sign-up sheets are available at weekly meetings, or you can email Charlie.
1. Saturday January 28, 2017
2. Saturday February 25, 2017
3. Saturday March 25, 2017
Depending on interest, there may be several hosts. The host prepares the main course and attendees (four or six) bring either an appetizer, salad or dessert. Attendees know whose home they are going to but the hosts don't know until they answer the door. A great way to get to know your fellow Rotarians in a relaxed setting!

One! International's goal is to teach literacy, numeracy and life skills to children living on the streets of Mumbai, India and surrounding areas by providing educational services and also associated social welfare services such as nutrition, health care, medicine, housing support and micro finance.
One! International was founded by local resident, Tania Spilchen, who first went to Mumbai to work at an internet agency on an exchange program. During this time she met and bonded with children living in the streets whom she claims stole her heart. Other local volunteers, like Paragi Shah, help support this important charity by telling the One! story and organizing fundraising events.
Our club is a proud sponsor of One! International. Our donation to the Step-Sponsorship program will help to cover the operational costs of a single step classroom. For more information on how your company can support this program visit the One! International website.

On Saturday May 14, 2016 our club hosted a meal packaging event in partnership with Stop Hunger Now, Rotary District 5370 and Archbishop Jordan Catholic High School in Sherwood Park.
We had 105 adult and youth volunteers with representation from Rotary, Sherwood Park United Church, ABJ High School, Titans Lacrosse, 169th Glen Allan Scouts, Sherwood Park Soccer, the Lorenz Team and Robin Hood. Local MLA Annie McKitrick was also in attendance.
Thanks to all our volunteers in supporting the movement to end hunger by packaging 30,000+ meals to be sent to international communities in need and for donating 97 lbs. of food items to our local food bank!
Stop Hunger Now's meal packaging events are a fun, hands-on way to make a difference and impact the lives of those suffering from hunger.
Thank you to the Hampton Inn by Hilton Sherwood Park, Arctic Chiller, Elk Island Catholic Schools and the Emmanuel Foundation for their in-kind donations to the event.

On November 14, 2015 the Rotary Club of Sherwood Park will officially celebrate 25 years of community service by holding an anniversary event at Festival Place.
"A number of people became involved with the effort to establish a club in Strathcona County. Zen Moisy of the Rotary Club of West Edmonton, Harb Sandhar and District Governor Alan MacLean became champions for the mission. Dennis Pommen, as a member of the Edmonton Club, became actively involved in April 1990, attending the Millwoods meetings and coordinating the initial “Strathcona County Rotary Club” meeting May 9, 1990 at Franklin’s Inn in Sherwood Park. The May 9, 1990 meeting started the creation of a “provisional Rotary club” and chartered as the Rotary Club of Sherwood Park on November 24, 1990." submitted by Dennis Pommen, Charter President
Tickets are available at $65 per person or reserve your table of 8 for $520.
25th Anniversary Committee:
Charter President - Dennis Pommen
Charter Member - Wayne LeDrew
Past Presidents - Don Lowry, Jack Skinner, Dianne Palovcik, Linda Osinchuk

Can’t attend club meetings in person. Consider joining the first Canadian e-club.
Since the club became a provisional e-club of District 5370 in the summer of 2011, the weekly e-meetings have developed in what many call, “the most interesting and unique e-club I have ever attended”.
The e-club, which has a Canadian flavour, features speakers on many interesting topics, including Rotary programs, such as the Rotary Foundation, PolioPlus, Youth Exchange as well as topics of interest, such as the environment, culture and world affairs. Humor and inspirational moments are also incorporated into the meetings.
The weekly Rotary Minute keeps Rotarians and those new to Rotary informed and educated. Each week, attendees are welcomed by a guest or member greeter. In addition to the current weekly e-meeting, guests can choose from a large variety of archived programs which are located on the club’s website.
Monthly, on-line Fellowship time is hosted by one of the club members, prior to the board meeting.
For current or former Rotarians who are not able to attend scheduled Rotary Club meetings, such as people with disabilities, young parents or those who travel for business, the e-club concept offers a solution; Keeping them involved in Rotary and offering Service Above Self, in their communities and internationally, through the e-club.
Anyone who wishes to participate as a charter member, must have attended two e-club meetings and paid a modest admission fee (Cdn$50) to be eligible to apply for membership.
To attend an e-meeting, apply for membership, or learn more about this unique opportunity, visit:
