Committees

 
Breakfast Program - Schedule 
 

 

HIP - Rotarian Scott encouraged the club to inform any indigenous or nonindigenous students we know between the age of 15 - 18 to visit HIP's website and register for the event on Jan. 23rd.  Our district will be sending 2 indigenous and 2 nonindigenous students to attend.  Rotarain Gord suggested getting in touch with Laurianne to notify her of this opportunity for any students she feels would be of interest.
 
 
Adventure in Citizenship - Rotarian Scott talked of our club being involved with this program for roughly 50 years.  In the past we would send one student, and we would alternate each year from which school we sent from (Riverview and Eskasoni).  Last year was a virtual conference because of COVID and we did sponsor two students as the cost was reduced due to being an virtual event.  It is in mid May, but exact date wasn't confirmed in the meeting.  
 
Motion - Made by Rotarian Scott - Amend our budget for 2023 to reflect funding to sponsor two students for this year's event (One from Riverview and one from Eskasoni)
Rotarian Bob seconded the motion.
Motion Passed
 
 
Sunrise Collaboration - President Hoyles has invited members from the Sunrise club to present to us at next week's meeting.  They are to discuss their request to our club to collaborate on two fund raisers in 2023.  Production at the HAT and a golf tournament are the two that will be discussed next Tuesday.
 
 
Ribfest - Rotarian Darren gave a summary of the upcoming Ribfest meeting January, 9 @ 5pm @ Boston Pizza.  There are some big decisions to make in the next few weeks, and all members are encouraged to attend.
 
 
Curling for a Cause - President Hoyles will be sending an email to potential teams by the end of next week.  Encouraged members to think of any businesses that may be of interest.
 
 
Criminal Record Check -  Reminder that the deadline to have this completed in February.  If you haven't yet, please do so.
