District Governor's Visit
As we kick off a new Rotary year, our virtual guest this evening was District Governor Hadi Mortada.
In 2003 Hadi was introduced to Rotary by a friend who was a member. He subsequently joined the Rotary Club of West Ottawa. He told us the thing he enjoys about Rotary is the fellowship. You meet interesting people, have a chance to travel and work on unique projects.
He believes that opportunities are there for us and that we need to take advantage of them. His goals for this year are for Rotary to be visible and stay aligned. He believes that we need to keep Rotary accessible and affordable. We also need to change the mindset of “that is what we have always done”. We need to collaborate with other like-minded organizations and have fun!
If you are interested in joining a community minded group, please contact President Nancy.
Final Meeting of Rotary Year
As this Rotary year rapidly draws to a close, some members of the club had a social distancing meeting at President Nancy's. Although we were well spaced out, the acoustics were great and a good time was enjoyed by all who participated.
 
Community Involvement
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.
PHYSICAL MEETINGS SUSPENSION
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.
Diabetes Canada
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
