Business Meeting

Presentations were given on our International Projects and the upcoming Outhouse Races event on August 30th.

Glenbow School Food Drive
 
Glenbow School organized a food drive on 12th June for non-perishable foods, for the two food sheds that are run by Helping Hands of Cochrane. 
 
Grade 4 teacher Elena Ungureau helped organize of the event.
 
Several boxes of donations were picked up that afternoon, by members of the Rotary EarlyAct Club. A third of each box's contents was delivered to the two food sheds here in Cochrane, and the remaining third was delivered to the Helping Hands warehouse for later distribution.
 
It was a very successful event. -Kirsten

We encourage members to choose which committee(s) they would like to serve on.

Please notify me of changes to committee lists.

In Rotary, we serve.
