I wanted to share a few announcements with the group.
1. We are continuing to make a push for personal and corporate sales.
If you have any contacts that you feel may be interested for a corporate purpose- please forward the contact information to Barb/Julie for input to the mailing list.
2. We are preparing for the application and selection process for the funds raised. If you are interested in participating on the selection committee please forward your name to myself.
3. Please begin bringing wine into meetings to fill the wine fridge. We are also looking for gift cards to add to the boxes as give-aways.

The Perfect Night In with Vive Le Vin!
Invite your closest friends over for a night of palate-pleasing wine and cheese and incredible live entertainment -
Vive Le Vin In A Box brings the fun of our Wine Gala to the comfort of your own home for a fraction of the price, while still supporting a great cause!
Your purchase of this amazing boxed event helps the Rotary Club of Sudbury Sunrisers support charities and the needy in our community.
With your help we hope to make this year's event even bigger and better!
This year's boxed event will once again feature wines that have been chosen by our sommelier and are not available for purchase at the LCBO.
The wines have been paired with unique cheeses for the ultimate taste experience.
Other delightful condiments have been chosen to round out the charcuterie experience.
Continuing in the spirit of our live event. one lucky box will contain the "key" to opening a fully stocked Wine Fridge.
Many boxes will also contain gift cards in order to replicate the prize raffle trees.
A NEW addition this year will be LIVE entertainment!
If you purchase your box during our pre-sale between September 20th - October 9th 2021
you will have a chance to win "Take-Out Cabaret" from YES Theatre where musicians will perform live in your own home
on the night of November 27th 2021 while you enjoy your Vive Le Vin In A Box!
Everyone else will be sent a link to stream a "Take-Out Cabaret" performance on their TV but one lucky winner will get it live!
How cool is that!?
We hope that in 2022 Vive Le Vin will resume as a IN-PERSON gala but expect to continue to offer the Vive Le Vin In A Box as a additional purchase at the event due to the past success!

Our latest info session is taking place Wednesday evening, featuring presentations on...
Green Tours - with Brian Nash, RC of Haliburton
Many would argue that we are now in the era of climate adaptation. Climate change has clearly occurred, and it is now more important than ever to understand how we can adapt to it. Community green tours increases our understanding of the things we can adopt into our own lifestyle and thereby help the planet while securing our own future.
Community green tours highlight innovation, responsible living, skills, demonstrations, and local food through stops at local residences, cottages, businesses and municipalities. Each stop is unique presenting ways and means to assist in our fight against climate change while also providing skills and ideas to increase our own resiliency in an uncertain future.
What Part Can You Play In Reducing Climate Change - with Kathleen Caswell, RC of Wasaga Beach and Area
It is becoming obvious to everybody that the climate is changing. We are all contributing to this problem – some more than others. Let’s find out how much our own personal contribution to the climate change problem is. From there we can learn how to reduce our personal contribution. It is not as difficult as you think. Come and find out how at our next meeting.
Please help us to spread the word by sharing with any individuals or organizations you feel may be interested in attending the session AND consider joining our proposed Eco Group that may evolve into our newest caused-based Rotary Club.
