Cindy Ngo of the Calgary Health Trust spoke to the Millennium members at the clubs regular Wednesday meeting at the Winston Golf and CC. The Calgary Health Trust has set a goal to raise $60 Million in the next 1-2 years in order to enhance and upgrade the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at the Foothills and South Campus Hospitals and is looking for assistance from Rotary. Funds will be matched if donated by Dec 31 2019 and will assist with upgraded premises and equipment and add need beds to the units. 1 in 8 newborns in Southern Alberta require the special care provided by at the NICU.

AG John Fortunka, presents Dale Shurvell (Rotary Club of Calgary Millennium Foundation Chair) with a banner recognizing the club for achieving the goal of "$100 Every year, Every member" donation to the Rotary Foundation.

One of our favourite things is to give money to local organizations doing great work in our community! This week, during our last formal meeting of the Rotary year, we had the pleasure of presenting cheques to; Society for Treatment of Autism, YouQuest and The Centre for Newcomers!

 

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.

 

 

Great presentation today by Calgary Arts Development President & CEO, Patti Pon on the 2026 Calgary Olympic Bid.

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.
