Every year, Rotary International identifies 16 key performance goals that support clubs in strengthening Rotary as a whole. Goals include increasing club membership, developing sustainable service projects, giving to The Rotary Foundation, and building awareness of Rotary in our community. For the past two years our club has achieved these goals and we are pleased to be officially presented with the 2017-18 International President’s Citation for achieving these goals from our District Governor during her annual club visit. Receiving the award on behalf of the Millennium members is Past President, Dr.Tamara McCarron,

September 25th was a busy meeting with lots of guests! Club member, Charlene, introduced our District's Assistant Governor, John Fortunka, who presented us with the new Rotary Banner for 2019 - 2020. Our guest speakers were Jose Guillen and Tim McGowan, from Inn from the Cold. We enjoyed learning about this great organization and hearing about the ways in which we as a club can volunteer our time to assist in their service to the community.

On June 12th we had a great time volunteering at The Alex Community Food Centre! We had the pleasure of preparing food, serving meals to patrons, clearing plates and cleaning dishes. We were also able to partake in the meal we helped prepare-delicious! We all agreed that we'd enjoy volunteering again and would like to try serving a Monday night dinner.

GROUP COOKS AT ATCO BLUE FLAME KITCHEN: December 13, 2018 @ 4:00pm Made by Momma has a wonderful arrangement with the chefs at ATCO Blue Flame Kitchen, whereby they offer an afternoon or evening of cooking to stock the freezers at Made by Momma with healthy meals prepared by OUR group! This state of the art kitchen accommodates groups of between 12-24 people for a hands-on cooking experience. The event is a lot of fun, and includes the following: 1. *A short welcoming reception attended by one of our board members who can say a few words about the work Made by Momma does in the community 2. *A chef demonstration followed by hands on cooking experience. 3. *A recipe booklet of the dishes prepared for the volunteers to take home. 4. *A meal with wine/beer for the volunteers to enjoy after cooking, prepared by the ATCO Blue Flame chefs. What is the cost of a Group Cook? There is a charge per person for this volunteering opportunity. The cost is $68.25 per person which covers the cost of using the ATCO Blue Flame Kitchen, purchasing the ingredients & food contains and finally, the cots of the meal/drinks for the participants.

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.

Thanks for a great year Tamara

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!

Tim Barnes founded the organization MoreThanAid to make a big difference in the lives of girls and women. He described the work and success of his project in Malawi, Africa. In one year he has helped 30 people/families improve their lives by using the skills they already have. Tim feels confident there is a way to get the Rotary club involved in what we are up to. Check out the attached l information to provide more specifics. The PDF actually has the projects his organization is looking for help on.
