Although our club is now meeting virtually due to the Covig-19 pandemic, we are still working to assist our local community. We recently went through our budget and reallocated funds so that donations could be made to our local food banks. Stay healthy, stay safe and keep an eye out for your neighbour.

Due to the current public health situation, our club will not be physically gathering until further notice. Our meetings will be held virtually for the foreseeable future. Please follow public health directives and stay safe. Thank you to those on the front lines for their efforts in keeping us safe.
Our recent speaker was Dalia from Diabetes Canada. She provided us with an overview of the types of diabetes, symptoms, as well as some of the contributing factors linked to type 2 diabetes. We enjoyed this very educational and well received presentation, each of us taking away something new. For further information, please contact their website http://www.diabetes.ca
All work and no play make Jack and Jill a dull couple. Having a social component compliments any service group. Past and current members of our Rotary club recently enjoyed an informal dinner and fellowship evening.
After the holiday break, we are back into a regular routine. While we have conducted business the last couple of weeks, we also had personal trainer Richard Chartrand come in and speak to us about non-aggressive strength training and its benefits for older members of the community. We also said goodbye to Rotarian Bob Milne from the Rotary Club of Crieff, Scotland. We were pleased to have Bob join us for a couple of meetings during his stay in Canada. Pictured below, Rotarian Bob and President Nancy exchange club banners.
It should also be noted that beginning in February, our club will meet on the 2nd and 4th Tuesdays of the month.
