Rotary Connection Night

Rotary Club of Estevan members enjoyed wings and fellowship during a Rotary Connection Night on Tuesday, May 24 at the Estevan Church of God. Four different flavours of wings were served to 20 different Rotarians who were in attendance. A few guests were also present.

Five members of the club - Mike Horton, Charles Olson, Brian Pilloud, Judy Krall and Norm Nichol - discussed why they joined Rotary, and some of the opportunities that they have enjoyed since they became part of the Rotary Club of Estevan.

The connection night was held on a Tuesday night, and it took the place of our regular Tuesday meeting at the Days Inn. We'll return to our normal Tuesday meeting schedule on May 31.

Rotary would like to thank the Estevan Church of God for allowing us to use their facility, and we'd like to thank the church members who prepared the wings. It was an enjoyable evening for all who attended.
