Young Soccer Players Hit the Pitch
The two Rotary Clubs in Sudbury will team up with Sudburnia Soccer Club to host the first annual U7-U10 soccer tournament to be held in Rotary Park on Saturday, June 8th to Sunday, June 9th from 9am to 6pm daily. This is a great opportunity to promote Rotary and Rotary Park to players, parents, and fans. If you would like to volunteer at this event, please contact Sunriser David Munch.

Greetings from your new District Governor to you friendly Rotarians. Welcome to a new Rotary fiscal year. Welcome new Presidents and your boards. We have a new Rotary International President, Jennifer Jones, our first woman in this role from Windsor, Ontario!  Happy Canada Day.
Rotary Minute:
 
Good morning and thank you
Fellow Rotarians and guests
This morning we’re off on an 
Information-type quest.
 
It will take just a minute
60 seconds to act
And together we’ll learn
A few Rotary facts.
 
Each July marks the start
Of a new year in Rotary
And for the very first time 
Our R.I. President is a she!
 
Her first name is Jennifer
Her last name is Jones
And even more special
She calls Canada home
 
Windsor specifically
An Ontario gal
A new kind of leader
With big plans and great style.
 
Imagine Rotary
Is her international theme
The logo is stunning
In hues of purple and green.
 
Her goal is to communicate
Both in person and online
To shine a light on Rotary 
And it’s work for mankind.
 
So that in a nutshell
Is your first Rotary class
And if you didn’t enjoy it
You can all kiss my ass-ignment.
 
 
 
 

We meet Thursdays at 7:15am at the Radisson Hotel,   85 St. Anne Road, Sudbury. Guests and new members are most welcome!

The BEST way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others.
