Doug
attended PETS in Sarnia last
weekend & has began his Club
Planning already
Environment Update:
Paul spoke about the
recent hours spent on the
Grand Ave beds. Daffodils
are up & coming but so is
the crab grass. Much thanks
to Jane Katzman, Ruth Howell
& David Sarson. 18 beds
are cleaned up.
Inbound Student Exchange:
Laurie has stepped in to
cover for Linda Goldsmith.
She has some potential
students already. A
counselor is arranged & now
looking for 3 host families.
Roses for Rotary:
Terra reminded us
(if we did forget) that we
are in the middle
of Roses campaign. We
are optimistic to hit our
target of 1600 dz. With
505 on Monday night & a lot
of members without any
orders in, we are
anticipating a few busy
days. Keep selling. Keep
talking about Roses. Use
the desk at the Comfort Inn
to deliver your orders. We
will be asking delivery
teams to take extras
along. A signup sheet for
Workday was passed. Food
for morning breakfast &
sandwiches for lunch will be
available. Tuesday Apr 6
around 3pm we need hands to
lift the pails off the
truck. And then April 7,
anytime after 7:15am, come
in. Bring your spouse,
friends, aunts & kids. All
hands on deck! The 1st
110 dz will leave for Union
Gas by 7:45am. Assembly
will be done likely by
10:30am. Remember to bring
your containers for
carrying.
Ribfest: Matt
showed the most recent
proposed park plan. We’ll
gain in capacity, save on
security, and have greater
space for the venders (more
income for us) & a bigger
space for the Kids Zone.
Revised fencing will
alleviate the families in
the licensed area. 
Hoping
for more revenues from the
pigs at the Entrances & an
extended license in the
tents until 11pm.
There
are no grants coming our way
this year. So we must be
aggressive & work on our
contacts for sponsorships.
There are cuts to many
expenses already
(entertainment, security,
tent rentals, fencing &
generators for lighting)
In true
Nash fashion, “let’s get on
the bus, folks & start out
there asking. We have
great leadership with our
Rotarian Ribbers. Let’s
rally together, get on to
having fun & being
creative.”
April
15 in the local Media
Launch. Armouries, 11:30am
– 130pm
The
Headliner will be
announced. A great chance
to potential sponsors to
attend.
All
members are welcome. |
