At our July 8th meeting, our new President Shannon Kenrick-Rochon shared some of her self-reflection for the new year,
including the importance of social connections and responsibilities and leveraging our Rotary platform to 'Serve to Change Lives' in accordance with this year's Rotary motto.

It's going to be a great year, I can feel it!
District Conference 2021 from the desk of DG Steve Meadley |
|
|
I have had lots of questions about the District conference. Based on the response and our confidence that the Covid situation continues to improve, I am thrilled to announce that we have decided to proceed with an in-person conference.
The conference will be held in Timmins at the Senator Hotel from September 10th to 12th, 2021. It looks like Stage 3 restrictions will be well behind us by then and we are confident the District and the hotel can work with any local guidelines for safe gatherings. This will not be a virtual or hybrid conference. Say goodbye to Zoom and hello to your friends!”
