I am writing to you as Chair of the Governance Committee for The Ottawa Rotary Home. We are currently looking for five people to become members of the Board of Directors. I am attaching a "Wanted Flyer" which sets out the details of our search and ideal candidates. (Look for it in the
Documents section).
Did you know that all Rotarians have been challenged to plant one tree this year? If you want to make this happen and you're in the Ottawa area, why not join with your fellow Rotarians from Passport, Kanata Sunrise, West Ottawa, Nepean Kanata and Stittsville on Saturday, June 2, 2018, from 9 to 11 a.m. In cooperation with the City of Ottawa several hundred trees will be planted at a site in Insmill Park along Terry Fox Drive in Kanata. To help, the Air Cadets, Interactors and Rotaractors will be on hand to assist with the planting. This will be a fun event, please plan to attend.
There is no cost for this event and refreshments will be served. Both Kathy and Liliane are planning to attend, and we'd like to see at least 3 more reps from D7040 Passport come out. If you haven't done something in a while, try this!
The city will supply some shovels, but we suggest bringing your own shovel just in case. Email Kathy at kath.trim@yahoo.ca if you want to know more. If you want to get a calendar invite or see it on a map click here.
Makeups/Attendance
Have you been keeping up marking in your makeups? Did you know there is an easier way to do it? When you sign in you get the Admin Page (two lists with links and different topics. On the right-hand side scroll down to Meeting Services and click on the second item Report Makeups. Takes you right to the page where you need to be.
Meetings up to the end of March are marked closed so that we can see attendance records, however, if you did a makeup you can still add that to a closed meeting. If you have reached the May 28 meeting, which signifies that you have done 40 makeups during the year, keep going and just bank your meetings. We still have until June 30 in this Rotary year.
