As a result of Dryden's new Chief of Police Services, Rob Davis' inability to be present President-Elect Sandra Boyko reported on her trip to PETS ( President-Elect Training Seminar) in Russell MB in March 2nd, and 3rd.
Club Rotarians Joanne Misner as chair of Distroct 5550's Training Team responsible for the PETS program and John Borst Communications Director who provided hands-on training for ClubRunner also attended. P-E Boyko shared the new Rotary banner for her year and the 2012 - 2013 theme of “Peace through Service”.
Sandra and President Rena Madden also proposed the new Executive for Sandra’s year but official approval must wait for the amendment to the club’s constitution and bylaws. However, the club gave approval in principal.
Doug Cochrane co-chair with Pam Brown of the Dryden Blooms committee gave us an update on this fundraising initiative. He will very shortly be looking for some help from club members in delivering the letters to businesses.
Part District Governor Clare Thompson also spoke on creation to the club’s history book that he has put together. He and Rena urged all members to sign up for a copy of the book at a cost of a $5.00 donation which will be applied to The Rotary Foundation.
In closing Joanne Misner reminded everyone that the club’s 70th birthday party is at the Centre on April 21. Final details are being worked on and will be available shortly.
