Sep 27; Larry Sales, Birthday

Tuesday noon belongs to Rotary!

Look in "Upcoming Events" for other activities taking place in the near future.

Our second meeting was more sparcely attended. Fern Proulx, RC St. Albert, introduced Dylan Glyn Liley, a Whyte Avenue merchant.

Please come out and support this initiative.

Continental Breakfast is provided by 'Artisan Bakery', located on 82 Ave whose proprietor Saiyed Jaffer is interested in the new club. The manager of the Edmonton Public Library (EPL) Strathcona Branch Adrienne Brown Canty and Erin Rayner also attended as prospective charter members.
The cost of the delicious freshly made muffins and pastry, fresh coffee and fruit is $12.

Past President Orville Sleen and President Peter Denooy welcomed everybody and gave a brief outline of the purpose and goals of the Edmonton Festival City club. They were assisted by District 5370 Director of Membership, Shirley Lowe who is also the Managing Director of the Old Strathcona Business Association.

The proposed name for the club is the Rotary Club of Edmonton Festival City, and they will be meeting on Wednesday morning from 7:45 AM until 9 AM at the Strathcona Branch of the Edmonton Public Library on 8331 - 104 Street.

This location and meeting time was chosen to accomodate the many businesses in this area as well as people involved with the University of Alberta.

If you know of somebody who may be interested in joining this new club, please contact Peter Denooy at 780-984-1251 or Orville Sleen at 780-991-0276.

We had seven volunteers working Saturday's two shifts. Six more for Sunday's event.
The week-end was relatively quiet compared with the spring event, but again very well organized by the city staff.

This is the second year of the 'Big Bin' initative and the number of filled bins are increasing. I feel though, there is a lack of public awareness of the program. We should all be encouraged to talk up this event wherever and whenever there is an opportunity.

Past President Orville announced some time ago the Board's decision, on behalf of the members, to participate in the "Capital City Clean Up" campaign.

The city, very graciously supplies cold drinks throughout the day and big sandwiches for lunch.

We look forward to more opportunities in 2008

As we are approaching the end of the Rotary year (June 30), we want to be sure we have your attendance correctly reported for the year.

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 percantage 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!

>>> 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!

The blood challenge is over, but the need is not!
