Let's try another games day this month to get everyone involved and having some fun! We'll do two tuths and a Lie to see how well we know each other and to perhaps learn something new and fun you haven't realize about each other. Instructions: Ask all players to arrange themselves in a circle. Instruct each player to think of three statements about themselves. Two must be true statements, and one must be false. For each person, he or she shares the three statements (in any order) to the group. The goal of the icebreaker game is to determine which statement is false. The group votes on which one they feel is a lie, and at the end of each round, the person reveals which one was the lie. Look forward in seeing everyone there.

Her success led to a role as Executive Director with Cystic Fibrosis Canada, and most recently, Chief Executive Officer with Variety – the Children’s Charity in Burnaby.

In keeping with Rotary International’s NUMBER ONE INTERNAL PRIORITY, our District has partnered with "Get Inspired Talks"to host an event on May 23rd 2020 called "Rotary Get Inspired Talks".
This is the result of an overall recruitment strategy to attract new members to Rotary and help clubs achieve their growth targets. The event, which is organized and run by "Get Inspired Talks" seeks to inspire attendees to take action and make the necessary changes to improve their lives and communities.
The values of both organizations are very aligned and the District believes that Clubs will greatly benefit from this partnership, from attracting new members to receiving sponsorship funds.
They have developed a recruitment strategy for us to follow. Franco Gallo and Tom Smith are leading the recruitment charge.
Roger Killen (Founder of "Get Inspired Talks") and Rotarian Scott Stroshin (sgs@telus.net), will be visiting each club in the Lower Mainland in January to describe the details of this initiative.
Look Forwward in seeing everyone there.
