A Launch of this unique service will take place on
Tuesday, February 20th from 10:00 am -1:00 pm

RYPEN provides youth 13-17 years of age with the opportunity to enhance and develop individual self-confidence, personal growth, life skills, and come away with an increased feeling of self-worth.

SIGNIFICANT ACHIEVEMENT AWARD
Recognize a club in your district whose project has addressed a significant problem or need in your community (international projects are not eligible). You can nominate one club per district each year.
This award recognizes one outstanding Rotarian or Rotaractor within the District who was inspired to demonstrate outstanding achievement in Rotary and in the community both locally and internationally and through his or her actions has been an inspiration to others to do the same.
There are now 9 teams registered for the District 5360/5370 Curling Bonspiel which is just 7 weeks away. Since we are hoping for 32 Teams, we are now 28% full. Four of the 9 teams are from Calgary, two are from Edmonton, and one each from Grande Prairie, Fort St. John and Lethbridge.
We could certainly use a few more sponsors in order to balance the budget for this event. If you or your company are interested in advertising in the Bonspiel Program and the event signage, please reply to this message and we will provide appropriate details.
We look forward to seeing many of you at our opening Reception/Registration at the Thistle Curling Club in Edmonton at 7:00 pm on Thursday evening, February 22, 2018. Actual curling will commence on Friday morning and the four event finals will happen on Sunday afternoon. Friday night and Saturday night social events will occur at the Radisson Hotel and Convention Centre.
You can also participate in the SHUT OUT POLIO Junior Hockey Game & Rotary Mixer at Rogers Place on Sunday afternoon after the curling finals.

RV to the Toronto RI Convention and Camp next to the Convention !!! RV Fellowship of Rotarians (RVF) Annual Rally in Toronto • June 19 to June 22, 2018 Rotary International Toronto Convention • June 23 to June 27, 2018 >
Drive your RV or camper to the RI Convention in Toronto, and stay next to the Convention Center along Lake Shore Boulevard at a campground created by the RV Fellowship of Rotarians. It will be on the Rotary bus route, and alternatively just a 5 to 10-minute walk to the RI Convention site.
The Recreational Vehicle Fellowship, or RVF as it is affectionately known by its members, is one of the 74 fellowships of Rotary in which the members have a common bond ... in our case a love for camping and rallies in various scenic locations in North America. Our membership includes Americans, Canadians, Brits and Australians ... and hopefully you!
If you are a Rotarian and have a love for camping, be it in a pop-up tent trailer or a Class A motorhome, join our fun group. Even if you cannot make it to Toronto, there are a number of other events and Rallies each year that may fit your schedule.
To check out past rallies, our newsletter, and for a membership application, go to our website: www.rvfrna.org
