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. |

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! .jpeg) |
 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. |

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!    |
