Events to report on from Nov 15 Meeting

Rotary Calendar Sales Team is organizing sales teams and needs everyone's help.  The first batch of calendars have now printed & delivered to Jim & are being organized for distribution. We are organizing sales teams (Rotarians, spouses, friends welcome) to sell on Saturdays at three locations; Safeway & Overwaitea in Ladner and Safeway in Tsawwassen. We need to fill shifts from 10:30 am â¿¢ 1:30 pm and 1:30 pm â¿¢ 5:00 pm.  We will need two people for each location for each shift. Please contact Denis to volunteer your name.  Each Rotarian is encouraged to volunteer for at least two shifts before the end of Calendar Sales.  As a club, we all voted to support this project, our major fundraiser.  Your Calendar Committee has produced this beautiful calendar and now needs everyone's help, so please contact Denis at the meetings on Tuesday, or by email: denis.denischuk@raymondjames.ca or by phone 943-5665 or 541-9471

Reminder that the Ladner club is hosting the District 5040 Foundation Dinner on Friday November 18 and we are looking for Silent Auction items.  Our planning committee is looking for volunteers to help with various functions including setup, greeters, ticket sellers, a silent auction committee and clean up crew. So show up between 3:30 pm & 6:00 pm on Friday to help Leo, Debbie and Neall to set up.  Thanks to all those who have stepped up, helped to organize, those who have bought tickets and helped to support and make this a successful event.  It looks like it will be a "sold out" event
