At our next morning meeting this Friday our the club will consider the reallocation of funding. The International Services committee provided funds of $10,000 for the St. Albert Fights Hunger campaign. As a result of the fundraising efforts for this event we ended up with a small surplus above what was originallyt committed. These excess funds have been earmarked to help support the other project in playgrounds that go hand in hand with the food packaging as the food typically goes to shcool where the playgrounds have been built.

Motion to be introduced: As a result of the funds raised for the St. Albert Fight Hunger project, it is moved that $3,000 be sent to Hope Mission in support of a playground project in Belize or similar effort prior to the end of this Rotary year (2025/26).

On Friday we recognized our latest Paul Harris Fellow recipients. Congratulations to Richard Ferguson (PHF +1), Ed Hunt (PHF+3) and Rob Tesselaar (PHF+7). Congratulations gents!!

On Friday we welcomed our newest Rotarian, Olena Matviienko. Olena arrived in Canada from Ukraine in 2022 where she had been a teacher. Now working in financial services, she hopes that joining Rotary will allow her to give back to the community that helped her. Welcome aboard Olena!
