Here is a letter directly from Rotary International President Elect Jennifer Jones talking about her July 2022 Cross Canada Tour and a note for District Governor Ron Dick:
"It is with great excitement that I am writing to let you know that Nick and I will be starting the 2022-23 Rotary year as President of Rotary International on a tour from coast to coast to coast across Canada.........
There is a countrywide team planning the tour and we will be officially announcing the dates and locations following the International Assembly this February. Each destination is intended to be a “hub” that will draw from surrounding districts and geographical areas.
The Canada tour is part of a global effort to elevate the profile of Rotary. As people of action, people of purpose and people of influence, we want to engage our members along with community leaders and supporters, and each location will include service and social opportunities.
While we are dedicating several weeks to this tour, I hope you understand that that we will not be able to visit each Province or Territory and encourage you to consider participating in one of the hubs that is most convenient for you.
Please watch for more announcements about this – and I hope to see you in early July 2022!
Wishing you and your families much peace, love, joy and health in this new year.
Warmest,
Jennifer"
From District Governor Ron Dick:
Jennifer Jones- Imagine Canada Tour- As I've communicated in the past weeks, we have soon to be RI President, Jennifer Jones coming to the Toronto area on Tuesday, July 5th, 2022. The Multi District Planning team have decided to coordinate a 3 part day: Starting with a Watershed clean up in the morning, Kids against Hunger food packing in the afternoon with a Fab TRF Fundraising dinner in the evening.
So to make this happen we need committee members and chairs for each of the events. We also need committee members to manage the day: Transportation, Marketing & Promotion, Budget, Finance & Legal, Technology, Outreach Broadcasting and Sponsorships.
If you would like to work on or co-chair these committees please contact Michele Guy, mguy@couttscrane.com or DG Ron Dick, ron@rrdfsi.ca.
We need your responses by Tuesday, Feb 1st (yes I know that's tomorrow) for the multi district Committee to draft the committees. This event will showcased in the April edition of the Canada Rotary magazine. Let's do District 7070 proud!
