This centre fold ad was published in the Spruce Grove Examiner/Stony Plain Reporter on Friday, February 21st. Please bring your copies to our Vocational Visit meeting at COBS Bread this Thursday. I will mount and laminate those copies on Sunday, March 2nd and distribute them to Rotarians in all three clubs for display at their businesses, places of work, and/or around the community. This way we can get a lot of more mileage out of this $1,800 ad (our Club pays 1/6th of the cost).

One great thing about the Rotary Club of Spruce Grove is that people who are invited to become members are established leaders in their field of work and/or our community. All of our members have such strong toolboxes of leadership skills that anyone of them could be President and/or carry out just about any function in the Club.
