GUEST SPEAKER: Incoming Pres Trish

Introduced by: Wayne

Trish discussed her vision of the club. The theme of Rotary for the next year is Peace through Service. Peace is abstract and varies depending on the region where you live. It is a matter of individual perception thus no right or wrong definition. Three priorities are: support and strengthen club; focus and increase humanitarian service; enhance public image and awareness.

Our focus as a club: Retain; Re-engage; Re-invigorate; and be Relevant.
Continue to be the best club we can be going forward.
Meet your President:
Regional director of Atlantic Salmon, and evolved to now Director with Canadian Wildlife Service. Originally from Picton, Ontario; parents Bill & Sandy.
