At last week’s meeting Mick passed the torch to President Barb Roy. Barb, a retired nurse and genealogy enthusiast, has been heavily involved in refugee support and Rotary, serving as Chair of Mission 31 and President Elect. Our new President emphasized continuity with previous engagement initiatives and visibility in the community. A new schedule system for job assignments will be introduced to ensure fairness. Some key roles on the executive this year include Tim as President elect, Carla as Treasurer, Maureen for Youth Services, Gerry for International Projects, Amanda for community service, Louise for club service, and Kim for media. Upcoming events include a wheelchair basketball league, a scavenger hunt at Rotary Park and our major fundraiser Vive le Vin. Monthly themes will focus on areas like maternal and child health and environmental initiatives. The goal is to increase community engagement and participation as well as visibility of our Rotary Club’s impact in the community.
