This will likely be our last Business Meeting of 2025! Other plans for December!

Please invite family and friends to join us on Monday 10 November at noon in the usual venue - the CORE meeting room.

The guest speaker will be Yusef Mohammed. He heads up a non-profit called COMMUNITY CONNECTIONS.

Yusef will share with us all the activities and events this organization undertakes, to make newcomers to Medicine Hat and College students from abroad, feel welcome and part of the community of Medicine Hat.

We invite ED Lisa Dressler to come to a Club Meeting once every year - to update us on Chamber of Commerce developments, challenges, plans.

Lisa is always warmly welcomed and her presentation greatly appreciated. 

Please invite family and friends to join you on Monday 17 November for what promises to be an informative and lively meeting!

We are looking forward to welcoming Delynne Lorentzen to our meeting on 24 November.

Delynne is ED of the Rotary Music Festival.

This will be an important opportunity to hear about the 2026 Rotary Music Festival and to ask questions and have a discussion about many other festival-related matters.

President Milan and Board member Stan Sakamoto, together with Gwen Dirk, Peter Mueller, Sharon Hayward, Susan Sakamoto and Margie Booyens, are cooking up a storm of a Christmas Party, to be held in the Grandstand Banquet Room, Medicine Hat Exhibition and Stampede Grounds (same venue as for the Why Rotary event) on Monday 1 December!

The doors and cash bar will open at 5:30pm and dinner will be served shortly after 6pm, after the opening and welcome by President Milan.

The ticket price is $35 pp.

Please book the date and think about who you would like to bring with you!

Our guest speaker from Habitat for Humanity will be Melina Kane, who serves on the local HforH board.

This will likely be an interesting presentation, so please bring anyone who may be interested in what this organization does and is planning to do, locally and further afield.

It'd be great if any 'hands-on' opportunities were mentioned, that we, as a club, could consider!

Program Committee member Sharon H has organized with the Veiner Centre that we stuff Christmas stockings for vulnerable people, once again this year.

Planning is still underway, but we're hoping to have our regular club meeting at noon in a meeting room at the Veiner Centre, after which we can do the stocking stuffing.

Somewhere in between, we can descend on the Bistro for something to eat!

Details will be firmed up nearer the time - but please put Monday 15 December in your schedules - noon meeting followed by an hour or two of stocking stuffing.

It will be fun - bring friends to help!
