We had a productive Board and Club meetings
last week with our District Governor, Gerry Lambert.
Thank you, Gerry. We hope you'll join us online again soon.
 
Nominations to become our President-nominee have closed.
This week I'll be in touch with those nominated. 
If more than one member wishes to become President-nominee,
then we'll have an electronic vote to choose.
 
Club member, my personal sponsor, and Past District 7040 Governor,
Rene Melchers, has accepted the post of
HIP ( Honouring Indigenous People ) Co-Ordinator for District 7040.
Congratulations Rene! See details in Secretary's Thoughts.
 
The Holiday Cooking Demonstration and Fundraiser
organized by member Simmy Ahluwalia
is an opportunity to learn and eat well at the same time. 
(My favourite combination!)
The event is limited to 40 people. It will sell out quickly.
Rotarian, Montreal Restaurant owner, and Chef Extraordinaire, 
Michele Herblin will be cooking.
To buy tickets or more information, contact Simmy.a@rogers.com
 
December 3 is Giving Tuesday. 
All over the country people will join together
in one of the largest online giving days of the year,  
It's a day to show the world we can make an impact.
Also a great day to give to the Rotary Foundation too.
See Secretary's Thoughts for details and a link.
 
Till next week ...

HIP (which stands for Honouring Indigenous People) was started by Rotary Clubs in Southern Ontario and is a community circle of indigenous people and Rotarians working together to build respect and good friendship across Canada.  You can learn more about HIP from their website:  http://www.rotaryhip.com/
 
In next week's D7040 Passport Bulletin we will preview our D7040 Passport AGM taking place on Tuesday December 10th - this will also be our regular December meeting and our December 8th Bulletin will be our last for 2019.
