November is Rotary Foundation Month

Make cheques payable to the Rotary Club of Weyburn and

 Jill will send all the money to RI at once.

Dare I call this gentleman the "treasurer-in-waiting"?

Parents helped the junior RYLA team set up.

If you want enthusiasm at a meeting, ask teenagers to be the guest speakers!

Tom is being pampered to the extreme while he recuperates.

Here some of the senior RYLA group pose for a selfie.  Ben (on the left) will be our outbound exchange student for 2015-16.

Emilie brought her host sister Willow and her host mom Marie.  By their smiles you can tell how much they enjoy each other.

Here are two Rotarians who haven't been in the newsletter lately.

We had excellent turnout for this evening meeting.

Dale presented Duane with the past-president's pin.

Pat inducted our newest member Deana Mainil.  Welcome, Deana!

Dale presented STARS rep Vanessa Headford with a Rotary cheque of $6000, half the money raised through our first annual golf ball drop.  He also presented a cheque for $2500 from the first place winner of the golf ball drop.

Both RYLA groups came together for a RYLA cheer.

Here are nine of the ten students that we sent to RYLA camps last summer.  Weyburn consistently sends the most students from our district to these worthwhile camps.

Some of the students got Bob in a selfie ... his first ever.

Great students!  Great presentations!  Great evening!

November is Rotary Foundation:

Make your cheque out to the Rotary Club of Weyburn and our treasurer will get it to RI.

The Legion is creating a time capsule to be opened in 50 years.  They asked our club to include a banner and a list of our members.   

The new way of doing 50/50 is very successful.  The pot is now at $228.50.

Orville Acton from Edward Jones was guest speaker.

Everyone was very excited to have visitor Chuck at the meeting.  He got lots of hugs and lots of hand shakes.  He doesn't look a day older than when he belonged to us!

Which one of these is a minister who took money from a first time visitor?

Vic is December Program Chair and here he looks like he's taking the job seriously.

Here's how he's really taking the job.

The Legion always provides a good meal.

And Tom always provides good music ... even when he makes us start over because we aren't in tune and we aren't in time to his playing. 

Emilie enjoyed the perogies at the Curling Rink on Thursday night.

Here Bob looks like he's trying to eavesdrop on the gossip.

Grant is our Rotarian in charge of the Salvation Army family we adopt at Christmas.  Judi did the job for many, many years before turning the job over to Grant.

Many of our members were dressed impressively last week.

Emilie was happy to sit with her friend Zoe who is Vance's granddaughter.

Here's Vance with his wife Kay and son Jeff.  Do you see any resemblance?

Jeff's wife Nancy also attended.

We had an update about Myron at the meeting.  Myron, we are thinking of you and wishing you well.
