Brad Langford (Downtown club)         Heather Sarson back from Japan

John is happy because he has been getting many compliments on the pear trees and how nice they look with their leaves.

Kim is happy that everything went well with Matt and Emily at Performance and wants everyone to know if they would like her to keep track of your weights to email her.  She also wants everyone to know that even though we are training at the women’s gym men are allowed to attend as long as they go through the back door.

Jackie is happy that the Canadian Cowgirls rode with exceptional riders at a show in Massachusetts.  It was a very emotional day for all who partook in the drills.

Jim is happy that Kim admitted she was stepping on the scale during his weigh-in.

Brad is happy that they will be receiving approval on Thursday for the Canadian Association for Gift Planners.

Audrey is happy about the implementation of new district training for new members or anyone who would like to become leaders.  Our district will host a training session in August.

  John Lawrence is celebrating his club anniversary on November 21.

 Greg was contacted by Lenore Merritt (from the Goodfellows) regarding our club helping out with their daytime campaign this year. Last year Greg covered a shift for President Jim at Tim Horton's on Kiel Drive. She asked if we would help again this year (Greg will be helping out on Dec 11 from 2-4). Shifts are Dec. 11 & 12 from 9:30 to 8:00 on Friday & 9:30 to 4:00 on Saturday. Please call Lenore directly at 519-354-2439 & be sure to tell her you are from Chatham Sunrise Rotary.  P,S. The shifts are 2 hours long. Thanks for your consideration. Greg
