October 4th, 2023 Weekly Meeting 

Our very own, David Humphries attended the District Conference "Learn to Lead"  in Toronto this past weekend and was thrilled to be given this wonderful opportunity. He has decided to attend again in 2024. He learned a lot about Rotary, made some new friends, learned new ideas about fundraising and membership and much more.  We will look forward to hearing more about David's experience soon. Way to Go David! Thank you for representing ROS so well.

A Big THANK YOU going out to Julie, Sean, Scott, Vik and Kateri for attending and helping out at the Environment Fair at the Ottawa Baha'i Centre this past Saturday. They were able to raise awareness about the environment but also about Rotary. Well done!
