Join your fellow Rotarians as we celebrate President Keith’s term and welcome in President-Elect Anita and her Board of Directors! 

To add a bit of pomp and circumstance to the event, our new DG, Manon Mitchell, will be at the event to preside over the proceedings. As well as “Swearing-in” your new President and her Board, Manon will also be  swearing-in our new ADG, Sue Carpenter.

We will be barbequing burgers and ask everyone to bring an appetizer, side dish or dessert to share - potluck style.  Please bring your own preferred beverage(s) to drink.  We will be in the Corral. See you all there!!

Here are just a few of the MANY compliments overheard from our guest Rotarians from around the world when they were heading back to Calgary from our Club's "Western Hospitality Night"...
 
"This is our first trip outside of Calgary and we cannot believe what gorgeous countryside and spectacular views there are here!"
 
"This is our 3rd International convention and by far the best and this host night just tops it off!"
 
"I have been to 4 other hosting events at other conferences and nothing compares to this host night with the branding, the music, and the food was unbelievably delicious!"
 
"What an amazing job your host club did to make us feel welcome! It was amazing!"
 
"We will keep our branding boards on our mantle and will tell friends what a great time we had!"
 
"I could live right here on this ranch for the rest of my life and never move again!"
 
"I can tell you my brother and sister Rotarians, that on my drive home from Stampede Park - I felt damn proud to be a member of the Rotary Club of Cochrane!" -Clark
