Minute Reminders:
BINGO UPDATE
Dave Panabaker reported on the first Bingo for 2025 on Saturday January 4th. The club served 61 patrons of the bingo hall (in the middle of the snowstorm) and due to some lucky patrons did not contribute anything to the monthly pool. Rotarian Terry Brekko won the guess pot with a small, but positive guess. The next bingo will be the evening of Wednesday Jan 22nd, from 5 pm to 10 pm, and signup invitations will be out at the end of the week.
UPCOMING MEETINGS AT CORE
Dave Panabaker advised that as part of the education program for next week, an invitation will be going out to all members for the first meeting at CORE, which is Monday February 3rd. We would like to show how the "invitation" head count system works and get some idea of how many people will be joining us for that "in person" business meeting.
Homework for the education program will be going out tomorrow afternoon as well as the meeting invitation.
TEAM FREEWHEEL
Terry Cooper mentioned that all the material regarding Team Freewheel has been uploaded to the Club Documents section of Clubrunner. That will be demonstrated at the session next week.
ROTARY DINNER CLUB
Milan Vujovic advises everyone who has signed up for this year's dinner club that dinners can now be booked. If you have a particular date in mind, it's best to get it to him (or his spouse Almira) so that date can be fit into the schedule. Please phone and book your dinner as soon as you can.
Family of Rotary
- As noted by President Mike, the club sends its prayers and condolences to the Maclean family on the recent loss of Rotarian David.
- The club also sends our prayers and best wishes along to Johan Booyens, as he battles cancer. He will be moving to St Joseph's Hospice on Tuesday January 7th, and can be visited there. It would be advisable to contact Margie before visiting, just to make sure he is in shape for a visit.
- The club also sends best wishes to Bernice Chesley, widow of Rotarian Wayne, who has moved closer to family in Calgary. She will be transferring to an apartment style unit on January 21st and we wish her the best.
- Please keep a Board Member informed about members health and/or any other changes, so that information can be provided to the club through the Weekly News.
