We'd like to extend a warm welcome to our new exchange student. Enya arrived from Germany at the end of August and has now been placed with her first host family. Enya loves the outdoors and horseback riding. We're looking forward to getting to know her better.   |

2017/2018 was a great year for Rotary Millenium, due, in large part to Tamara's great leadership. Under Tamara, our group focus changed to community service and with that change we welcomed many new members to our club. Tamara brought much needed structure and process to how we run our club administration. She made these changes while still maintaining fun and dynamic meetings every week (although we all mourn the loss of desert!) The membership survey showed that we all really enjoy going to our meetings and that we actually seem to like each other's company. What more could a club ask for. So thank you Tamara and welcome on-board Wendy. We're looking forward to another great year.  .jpg) |

 This is my friend Deb who helped us at the last casino because I was on my world tour. She also helps us out at the food bank events whenever asked. She is a regular volunteer for the downtown food bank facility. Deb trained very hard for the Ride to End Cancer, including rabid fundraising, and biked both days. I cheered her on southbound and her family caught up with her at the start and finish line on both days. I think Deb has earned at least one slice of pie! T'is the time of the season for piiiiiiiiiie! |
The reviews are in and this pie is the pie of the year. Despite the warm day the pastry was remarkable. The berry and apple filling was fresh and yummy. What more can one say? Congrats! Kim, you are hired!    |
