We will be slowing down to one "meeting" a month during the summer, the 4th Thursday in July and August at CanadInns, 826 Regent Ave W. There will be no agenda, just a social get-together, get to know your fellow rotarians for those who enjoy the social aspect of Rotary. We will take note of ideas that come up at these meetings of things we want to do throughout the year, but there will be no official business.
Our June 26th meeting was full of excitement with a presentation from our recent RYLA participant, Christian, followed by an introduction by Britney Wilson to CanU - a Winnipeg-based charitable organization that inspires hope and confidence in the leaders of tomorrow through its out-of-school mentorship and educational enrichment program for youth in Grades 5-12. We then heard from Konadu Apea Bah, a CanU participant, describing how life-changing her time at HIP Y2Y was! It was through CanU that Konadu applied to participate in the Y2Y event. HIP stands for Honouring Indigenous Peoples and is one of the organizations our club is proud to support. Hearing the personal impact it has on a young person's life was a nice way to end the 2024/25 Rotary year! To officially end the year, we welcomed our new co-presidents for the 2025/26 year, John Vis and Sandy MacDonald. We are looking forward to another exciting year!
Our meetings are twice a month (during regular season): Second Thursday of each month at Vickar board room (or via Zoom), and Fourth Thursday at CanadInn (or via Zoom).

The Four-Way Test, which was created in 1932 by Rotarian Herbert J. Taylor (who later served as RI president) when he was asked to take charge of a company that was facing bankruptcy. This 24-word test for employees to follow in their business and professional lives became the guide for sales, production, advertising, and all relations with dealers and customers, and the survival of the company is credited to this simple philosophy. Adopted by Rotary in 1943, The Four-Way Test has been translated into more than a hundred languages and published in thousands of ways.
