Members Please Attend Our Meetings
Dear members,
 
We have been missing seeing some of you of late. Recently, for a few meetings, we have not had enough members attend our meeting to meet our minimum guarantee of 25 to the restaurant.  Please make your best efforts to attend the meeting – there are several reasons to do so:
  • Give the guest speaker the attendance that we advertise to hear their message.
  • Spend some time with fellow members and keep in the touch with them.
  • Make sure we meet the guarantee, if we don’t we may have to look at raising membership fees to cover the shortfall in revenue.
  • Lastly, we miss seeing your smiling faces!!!

  • Sarah is here on a scholarship from CHES - Canadian Harambee Education Society.
  • Harambee is Swahili for "Pull Together".
  • Lorrie taught in Kenya 30 years ago and noticed that most were poor. She formed the Socieity and one of the first students was Sarah's father.
  • Sarah worked hard and got the scholarship and was sponsored to come to Canada by Lorrie.
  • In Kenya, most of the girls are responsible for all of the housework and as a result can’t study that much, but Sarah persevered and was fortunate to be able to come here.
  • Sarah hopes to graduate in 2020 and after graduation would like to live here and would also like to bring her parents here.
  • Leona Green helped set up a “Go Fund Me” page to help Sarah’s family build a house for them in Kenya.

New Westminster "Noon" Rotary Club Plans 90th Year Celebration
The "noon" club is celebrating their 90th anniversary February 11, 2018. This is a great time to meet the RI President in a smaller, more intimate setting than the Peace Conference. Tickets can be purchased online at www.90years.newwestrotary.org. You can also request tickets by email and pay with a cheque payable to The Rotary Club of New Westminster. We are expecting the event to sell out, so get your tickets early.
 
 
 
 
Good Host Program

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:

  • Email: xaviervictor393@gmail.com
  • Cell: 778-893-2532

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.
