Champions of Good - Rotary Bucks Wanted!
Mark your calendar: Saturday, April 4th, 9:00 to 11:00 AM, Elks Hall
 
And if you can...Mark some Rotary Bucks.  We do need some more revenue.  We are still knocking on doors but...
 
The Champions of Good, 2020, will be a great event.  Recognizing youth in our community who provide volunteer service.
 
We have just confirmed Ben Scrivens as our main speaker.
 
We also need to know by March 16th if you would like to attend.  No cost.  The Elks hall does have limited seating, so please let Anne Montgomery or me know if you will be attending.
 
Thanks.

Darkness into Light Walk
On May 9, Edmonton will host another Darkness Into Light Walk in support of the Coordinated Suicide Prevention Program.  Our own Meryl Murray and Judy Kesanko are instrumental in the event's growing success.  Last week, Judy asked for our help to make this one the best event yet.  How can Rotarians help?  Judy said that they're looking for course marshals and registration volunteers, among other things, and you can always register to walk and raise money, if you want.  To register as a walker or a volunteer, visit https://www.darknessintolight.ie/event/edmonton and follow the event's Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/diledmonton/.  You can also reach out to Judy by email at jbkesanko@shaw.ca to have your questions answered.

On April 24, 2020, Parkland After Dark will celebrate the tenth anniversary of their club charter.  Details are yet to come, but save the date if you're interested in attending.
Summer Meetings
During July and August, our club will be unable to meet at Shotz Lounge.  This year's board and next year's are working together to plan a series of special events for these meetings.  If you have any ideas about where we might go and what we might do, please email Brad (brad.mastaler@sprucegroverotary.org).

Notice of Board Meetings
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!
Attendance at Weekly Meetings
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.
Have Information for The Rotary RAP?
Have a Rotary Story, pictures from a Rotary Social and/or information for the Rotary RAP?  
 
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!
