    Upcoming Rotary World Help Container Loading

    Paul has relayed the following message from D'Arcy Werner of the Rotary Club of Vancouver Fraserview...

    There will be a container loading Saturday, April 7, 9:00am, at Riverview.   We could really use your help.  This shipment is going to Kiev, Ukraine and is being sponsored by the Vancouver Ukraine Social Services and Rotary World Help.
     
    Here is a map of the area.  The warehouse is located on Thistle Place – very close to the letter “P” on the map.
     
    Cheers,

    Good Host Program

     

     

    Image


     

    The Good Host program is how YOU can get involved - you are invited to help out by meeting, greeting and sharing cultural experiences with our Youth Exchange student. Victor Xavier (Brazil) is here and deserve to see and experience Canada to the fullest. 

    Any one of us can be Good Hosts by simply sharing some time with Victor. A phone call, lunch, dinner with family, sporting event, cultural outing, almost anything goes. However - all who host our youth exchange student unsupervised - even for a day event - must have submitted the YE police check paperwork to Paige Freeman prior to hosting.

    Please remember to include our youth exchange students in any activities you and your family participate in. Please speak to Victor directly or contact him at:

    Greeter Duties

    Greeters are the first point of contact for guests, potential new members, and our members. Making all who attend our meeting feel welcome is the responsibility of all of us as we all take turns being greeters.

    1.       All greeters should arrive no later than 6:40 am and be prepared to assist in setting up and preparing for the meeting. If a greeter cannot be present for their day of duties, please contact another member to fill in for you.

    2.       Greeter #1 will ensure that the sandwich board at the entrance

    3.       Greeter #2 will ensure that flags and banners are in place.

    4.       Greeters should welcome all members and guests and make them comfortable with the proceedings and surroundings, i.e., seating, coffee, schedule of meeting etc.

    5.       Greeter #1 greets and sits with the speaker to gather information useful in providing a respectful and meaningful introduction of the speaker and the program.

    6.       Greeter #2 thanks the speaker and presents the certificate of appreciation for their presentation.

                  NOTE: The certificate is NOT a contribution of $20.00 in the speakers’ name. We donate $20.00 to the Rotary Foundation in recognition of their presentation at the meeting.

    7.       Greeter #3 assists in taking down the flags, banners and places the sandwich board back in Kathy's office.

    ·         Greeters may change duties amongst themselves if desired.
