As of Tuesday (November 26th) morning there are 9 Rotarians and 24 guests registered for this event.  Our club has 33 members!  Please remember to R.S.V.P whether you plan to attend or not.  

 

The invite has been out for a couple of weeks for our Rotary and Friends Christmas Comedy Night.   It is being held at Shotz Lounge, starting at 5 pm with cocktails.  Please check your email and register early for this fun night.  Remember it is open to Rotarians, friends, family, co-workers, and business associates who you think may be interested in a delicious buffet dinner and comedy show.  Lets spread the word and fill the Lounge up.  

 

$1970 was raised for Wings of Providence at this year's Silly Santa Auction!  After the meeting, the housecoats, etc were packed up by some of the ladies (Dianne, Elizabeth, Judy, Patti, Myrna, Lesley and Catherine) and then taken into the city by Tony.  Thanks everyone who organized, bought the gifts, bid on the auction items and delivered the packages.  I'm sure the ladies and children at Wings of Providence are very grateful.  

 

Our Rotary Club exists only in the hearts and minds of  club members.  The intentions we express through our individual and collective actions create the club!  It's time to consider the question:  What will you do to build the Rotary Club of Spruce Grove? 

 

We designate our first weekly meeting in December as our club's Annual General Meeting, where we hold elections for next year's executive positions.  Nominations are open for the offices of President 2021-22, Vice President 2020-21, Treasurer 2020-2021, and Secretary 2020-21.  You can learn more about each of these roles in our online Member Handbook.

 

If you're interested in serving in an executive role, please come to the Thursday, December 5 meeting and indicate your willingness to let your name stand for a particular office.  If you're not comfortable volunteering yourself, ask another Rotarian in the club to nominate you.  Besides the executive positions mentioned above that we elect, our club's board also includes between 3 and 8 directors to be appointed by the incoming president, Anne Montgomery.  Typically, our club has directors for Public Image, Membership, Service Projects, Club Administration, and Rotary Foundation.  If you are interested in learning more about those roles, see the Member Handbook.  Let Anne know if you're interested in serving on the board as a director in one of these roles.

 

Your service to the club as an officer or director will ensure The Rotary Club of Spruce Grove continues to be an important builder in our community and our world!

Members of the club are encouraged to attend and observe our monthly board meetings.  For the 2019-2020 year, they will be held on the fourth Wednesday of every month at the clubhouse in Rotary Centennial Park beginning at 7:00 PM and ending at 8:30 PM.  If you can't attend in person, we are also now able to bring you in remotely using Zoom's online meeting software.  The URL for the meetings will be the same from month to month, so you may want to bookmark this address:  https://zoom.us/j/224919848.  Hope to see you there!

Just a quick reminder that if you are going to be away and won't be attending a weekly meeting, can you please indicate by clicking the "Can't Make It" Button.  The email comes out on Fridays and is called the "May Rotary Meetings" or whichever month it is.  The email comes from Crystal Desilets.  I use this info for informing Shotz how many people will be there for lunch.  Also if you are bringing a guest could you fill in the "Bring a Guest" button.  Thanks for helping out with this as it's makes my job easier if I have all the information.

 

Send me (Krista) an email:  krista.mastaler@gmail.com by Sunday evenings at the latest so that I can include it in the weekly RAP on Mondays!

 

Thanks everyone!!!!
