Week of 6th December

Past President Daryl welcomed 18 members to our weekly meeting in Albert’s absence. With many members absent on the night owing to the continuing harvest, business was light and focussed on catering for the dog shows coming up this weekend in Ganmain. The club will be catering breakfast and lunch on Friday and breakfast on Sunday. In lieu of a fines session, Sergeant-at-Arms Bondy showed us how uncoordinated we were by having us rotate our legs while reciting the Greek alphabet, which cannot be done! Someone won the raffle.

ROTARY NEWS

1. ROTARY FRIENDSHIP EXCHANGE

Rotary Friendship Exchange Photo Award: Embracing diversity

Through Rotary Friendship Exchanges (RFEs), we experience new cultures, expand our global understanding and perspectives, and immerse ourselves in unparalleled travel and service opportunities while building life-long friendships. The Rotary Friendship Exchange Photo Award showcases memorable exchanges around the world. The 2021-22 award theme was Embracing Diversity. Participants were asked to show how their exchange embraced diversity and diverse ideas by learning something new and reimagining how their district could participate in an exchange during the pandemic. We received amazing photos and strategies that demonstrated diversity and are excited to announce this year’s winner and runner up.
