April 5, 2011 meeting

Good day all:

We had an interesting meeting on Tuesday with a speaker from the Sask Watershed Authorithy.  She discussed how and why the Watershed Authority was created. 

We are raffling off a shelter box.  Not quite.  Buy a $20.00 dollar ticket and get a chance to win the tax receipt for the shelterbox.  Once we have sold enough tickets for the shelterbox, a draw will be made and the lucky winner will win the tax receipt for the shelterbox and get the tracking number for the box so you can log in and follow your shelterbox's journey.  Please see Donna F if you have not gotten your ticket.

GSE host families are still needed.  If you are interested in hosting a GSE team member from Brazil on June 12, 13, and 14, please let me know.  It is not very often that you get a chance to have someone from a different country stay and share their culture with you. 

Greeters for the April 12 meeting are Gail D and David Q.
Student pickup is Gloria C

Dennis Moore is on for the Rotary Minute so we are looking forward to an entertaining and insightful minute.

Until next time......

Rotary Auction Photos.





Our 48th annual Auction on Thursday night was a big success. Nearly 100 people registered for the event, and they were able to bid on a wide variety of merchandise, plus gift certificates, which were all donated by local businesses and organizations. An estimated $13,000 was raised during the auction, and another $4,000 came in through cash donations. The money raised will go to various Rotary community projects.

Thanks to the businesses and everyone else who donated items towards the auction, those who turned out to bid on the auction items, and everyone who was involved with setting up and running the auction. Also thanks to Mack Auction Services for once again serving as auctioneers, and the Girl Guides for preparing sandwiches which were very popular during the event.

Rotary Auction in the books

Good day all:

The auction is in the books for another year.  All went smooth other than a missing gift certificate or two.  With the 2 auctioneers from Mack Auctions, things kept moving and we had most of the items sold by 9:00.  A huge thank you to all the Rotarians and others that helped set up, clean up and make the 48th auction the success it was. 

Now we can turn our attention to our next big event.  Lobsterfest, coming to a Spectra Place near you.....
