Next Meeting

Join us on Wednesday, August 5 for our Fellowship & Business Meeting. This is a great opportunity to connect with fellow members while discussing important matters that will help guide our club over the coming year.

During the meeting, we will review the draft spending plan for discussion and approval. If you're unable to attend but have questions or comments, please send them to Maureen before the meeting so they can be considered.

Our meeting is held at the Chateau Nova Yellowhead. Come in the conference door and look for the banner. If you cannot come in person, please join us by Zoom: Meeting ID 780 222 3440; Passcode Mayfield.

Last meeting recap

It was great to welcome Jen Lemon to our last meeting and learn more about the work of BCW. Jen shared how the organization supports women, entrepreneurs, and communities through leadership, economic empowerment, and inclusive development initiatives.

Get Involved: Join a Committee This Year

Looking for a meaningful way to get more involved this year? Serving on a club committee is a great way to volunteer your time, learn new skills, and contribute directly to the work that moves our club forward. Committees offer a chance to collaborate, share ideas, and shape the projects and initiatives that matter most to our community.

Whether youโ€™re new to Rotary or a long-time member, your perspective and energy are valuable. If youโ€™re interested in joining a committee or want to learn more about the options available, please reach out. Weโ€™d love to have you involved.

Members Anniversaries

Weโ€™re launching a new section on our social media channels to celebrate (and brag a little ๐Ÿ˜‰) about the incredible members of our club and the unique stories behind their Rotary journeys.

We invite all members to share a Personal Expression Statement highlighting the impact Rotary has had on your life, and the difference youโ€™ve made through Rotary. This is your chance to tell your story, your way, and inspire others along the way.

Please Use this link to submit your story. Or email Victoria directly with your story.  

 
How can we tell our story?

If you are working on a project or event or if you want to share your Rotary journey with others, we want to hear about it. And if you attend an event, take pictures or videos and send them to Victoria. We will use these for social media and bulletin posts.
Are you an established professional who wants to make positive changes in your community and the world? Our club members are dedicated people who share a passion for community service and friendship. 
We invite you to join us at an upcoming meeting.
