2007 Operation Red Nose Campaign
by Peter DeNooy

The 2007 Campaign came to a very successful end early on January 1, 2008, after some 150 volunteers provided 165 rides to take people and their vehicles home safely after they celebrated the arrival of the new year.

I wil provide more exact numbers at our next meeting, but it appears we have raised more money than last year thanks to our amazing volunteers, partners and sponsors!

We kept over 700 impaired drivers off the streets in the Greater Edmonton area, and that alone makes this wonderful program such a gratifying event.

I take off my hat to all those wonderful volunteers who have donated their evenings and nights to keep our community a safer place and to raise funds for the future of our country, our children.

Tournament of Roses
by Granholm, Hans

On Tuesday, January 1, 2008 at 8 a.m. (PST), millions of spectators from around the world will celebrate the New Year with the 119th Rose Parade themed Passport to the World's Celebrations. The Rose Parade will once again feature the beautiful pageantry and tradition of magnificent floral floats, high-stepping equestrians and spirited marching bands.

Earlier in the year, Heather Platt, our very own 'Flower Girl', was awarded the opportunity to design a number of floats in the 2008 parade.

Members' Attendance Reports
by Hans Granholm

You are reminded that up to date records are available from the web site administration page after login any time. Click on the last item in the "My ClubRunner" section and chose reports #46 & 48. Open #46 first to see the percentage figure and if you do not agree, open #48 to see which meeting(s) are listed as missed.
Documents #40, 43 & 44 show various attendance reports for last year 2006-07.

If you do not report any discrepancies to me within the next two weeks, we will accept these reports as accurate.

Contact me anytime if you need assistance with the reports.

Cheers!

TIP about where
by Hans Granholm
When Stories disappear from the front page and the bulletin layout, they don't disappear completely.
You can always click on the STORIES tab in the menu bar in the top banner.

Items will remain there for a reasonable period of time (still to be determined), but even after they disappear there, they can still be retrieved by contacting your website administrator.

Web Site Advertising
by Hans Granholm

>>> PLEASE LOOK AT THIS ADVERTISING OPPORTUNITY <<<

With the number of members in this club either owning or operating a business, we are getting a very poor interest in this nice little generator of funds for the club.
Are the rates too steep? I don't think so, but if you do, please let us know.
If you have any bright ideas on how to promote this little initiative, please speak up.




A web site and bulletin advertising feature is available to dedicated members who wish to sponsor an ad and support the club's endeavors.

It is an opportunity to go out in the community and solicit ads from businesses, and who knows, in the process of soliciting ads you may also find prospective new Rotarians.

Be sure to visit these sponsors by clicking on their ad

The fee is for members $20.00 for one month or $50.00 for three months or $150.00 for one year.
 
For non-members $30.00 per month or $70.00 for a quarter or $250.00 for one year.


The ad can be text or a logo. Either way it becomes a link and upon clicking will take the visitor to the sponsor's website or e-mail address.

Please have a look at the complimentary ads in the right column of any site pages and in the left column of the e-Strathconian.

NOTE: You will notice a link in the bottom of the right column of a site page "Interested in being a Website Sponsor?". This link opens a page with all the information.

Feedback and comments are very much appreciated. You can post comments on the FORUMS | CLUB WEB SITE | ADVERTISING. Or you can e-mail you-know-who.

Cheers!
