It was an eventful meeting last week to say the least. Dave Berry conducted an open forum based on notes from the District in which we discussed some of the ways we can improve the club, how to recruit and retain new members, types of memberships, and much more. This was the just the first of many more opportunities for membership to have their voices heard. We don't need to reinvent the Rotary wheel but we have to be open to new and bold ideas.
 
Charles Wood, President of The Niagara Falls Rotary Club, was on hand for a presentation in which we were honoured by the District for our contributions to the efforts of Rotary to eradicate Polio.
 
Peter received a letter from Thijs which he shared with the Club. He's doing quite well at school and has also secured a good job. The big news is that he will be returning to the Falls from December 18-29. Peter will be looking to plan a get together for Thijs and his Rotary family.
