7:40 Guest Speaker Sonia Baron: District Fellowship Exchange

  • The District Fellowship Exchange started in 1988. Rotarians travel to other districts and stay with Rotarian hosts. Travel costs and incidentals are the Rotarians; the host family provides meals and a place to stay. The goal is to provide connections and fellowship.
  • The District Fellowship Exchanged originated from the Group Study Exchange, which started in the 1970’s
  • This is an opportunity to serve.
  • The next District Fellowship Exchange is January 28 to February 17, 2019 to District 3810, which includes Manila, in the Philippines. District 3810 is celebrating 100 years since the first Rotary club was chartered there on June 1, 1919. The exchange is also a dental mission; they hope to see 100+ street children. There are 25 people in the dental team. Sonia Baron is hoping 10 Rotarians attend from our district.
  • The return exchange, when Philippine Rotarians come to our district, is May 6-20, 2019.

Foundation Dinner
Foundation Dinner Information
As we get closer to our Foundation Month - November, we are again planning the annual District Foundation Dinner/Gala for the Lower Mainland.
Date is Saturday November 17th and the venue is the Hilton near Metrotown in Burnaby. 
 
I would like to ask for your assistance with this in a couple ways.
 
One is we need people who are interested in assisting with the planning to join the planning committee. Contact Lulu, one of the co-chairs, whose information is lower in this email.
As we all know these events take many hands working together to make them successful and this is a very important cause, raising funds for Our Foundation, The Rotary Foundation.
I would love to have Rotarians from the lower mainland clubs to once again come together to create a very special evening of celebrating all of the amazing things we, as Rotarians do, to make the world a better place. Our Foundation is the catalyst in our successes.
 
Lulu's contact information is:
778-822-8316
 
The second request is to promote this event and gather some of your club members up and attend together. Save the date! The committee will announce more information as it becomes available.

Quinn's River Walk Team Page
Quinn’s River Walk team page:
Quinn is leading a team to raise funds and walk with him towards New West Hospice's goal to raise $10,000.   All funds raised at the Walk from the River Market to the W at Pier Park and back will be used in New Westminster supporting people at end of life who choose to stay in their homes via their Compassionate City Crew volunteers and also supporting people who have experienced grief from a loss through death. The majority of the funds raised at this River Walk for Hospice will allow Them to begin a bereavement group support program this winter with a Bereavement Walking Group, walking as we share stories and support each other's journeys.

New West Rotaract Green Project (tree planting)
The New West Rotaract Club is currently pursuing our international project called "Green". This project is in collaboration with 10 other Rotaract clubs across the globe. This project requires that each club plant trees in their own local communities. To do this, they will be participating in the TD Tree Days in Queens Park.  If there are any Rotarians interested in participating please sign up 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.
