As you know, the Rotary Club of Sackville decided to fund the construction of a bridge joining the newly acquired Lund property to the Sackville Waterfowl Park. On Saturday, June 22nd at 1:30 pm, an event has been scheduled for the dedication of the Daniel Lund Park at the site near the end of Squire St (the entrance will be clearly marked) where Mayor John Higham and Kenneth Lund will speak. All club members are invited to attend as our club president will be presenting a cheque to the mayor at this time.

FYI, at 2:30 pm there will be a celebration of the 30th Anniversary of the Waterfowl Park at the Visitor Information Centre, 34 Mallard Dr, where there will be remarks by dignitaries, followed by a celebration barbecue, light entertainment, activities for children and an opportunity to look at the new VIC display.

For the first meeting of the new Rotary year we have planned a special club meeting on Thursday, 27th of June from 5-7 PM at the Bill Johnson Memorial Park activity centre!

This will be a Canada Day celebration for our new refugee families.  We have just learned that the towns newest refugee will be arriving the day before.

This a partnership with the Sackville Refugee Response Coalition (SRRC). The event is being organised jointly with SRRC - Stacey and Sue F are our reps.

There will be a cover charge of $5 to cover the expense of getting pizza from Goya's. Salads, refreshments and a special Canada cake will be provided.

The town has waived the rental fee for the activity centre as their contribution. The Mayor and President of MtA have been invited as our guests.

This is a rain or shine event!  Note: there will be no morning meeting on the 27th

This will be a fun event with our refugee families and an opportunity for us to 'connect' with both them and the SRRC members.

This is an evening meeting and members are encouraged to bring their families, guests and potential new Rotarians.  Additional details will be provided closer to the date.

The Painted Pony will offer a limited dinner menu to choose from, but there is no obligation to have a meal and instead you could chose an appetizer or just have a drink.  The club will not be collecting any meal cost, instead you will pay the restaurant individually.

The idea is to have a family oriented event where I will present my vision and goals for this Rotary year.
