Conversation: invitation to Rotary Club Niagara Falls Sunrise event

Dear fellow Rotarians,

The Rotary Club of Niagara Falls, Sunrise has a tradition of involving newer members in organizing a special event that is a social opportunity among Rotarians and a fund raising opportunity.  We realize that each club has its own events that they hold or support, but on behalf of the “new members” we would like to invite you and your members to our event on March 9th, entitled A Premiere Murder.  It is a murder mystery dinner and dance.  

Here is how the evening unfolds:  cocktails at 6:00, dinner at 7:00, (murder shortly thereafter), and dance at 9:00.  During the cocktails the scene will be set and throughout the dinner the audience will help solve the murder.  Once the culprit has been caught and taken away, you are free to enjoy the evening of fellowship and dancing.

We have created a Hollywood theme and are asking attendees to dress for the red carpet (cocktail attire).  We are also asking attendees to come as their favorite Hollywood personality or character from a movie.  Are there any Marilynn Monroe look-a-likes in your club?  How about someone as debonair as Clark Gable?

This should be a fun evening.  It is being held at the Grand Ballroom of the Stonemill Inn (Johnny Rocco’s, 271 Merritt Street, St. Catharines).  It is an evening of interactive dinner theatre.  Tickets are $75/person.  A four course dinner is being served.  Cash bar.  Call Brian Kon for tickets 905-704-9806 or by email at brian.kon@HotelDieuShaverFoundation.com <mailto:brian.kon@HotelDieuShaverFoundation.com> .

A poster has been attached.

Brian

Rotary Niagara Marathon coming to a town near you, from a club near you!!

REVISED!! November is Rotary Foundation Month, please read on....

Excellent meeting today, welcoming an old friend back into the club, perfect attendance pins, lots of guests and a very fitting topic regarding Vimy Ridge from Bill Finley and one of his students.

LOOK OUT ZOMBIEEES!!!

Just in time for halloween, John Ventresca came out to speak to us today about zombie preparedness and what to do in case of a zombie apocolypse.

Barry Shainbaum was our speaker today, he is a professional photographer, speaker, musician and radio broadcaster. In addition to this he is the author of two books; “Hope & Heroes” and “Dancing in the Rain”. Barry's presentation today was "Dare to Dream"  

Kaila Raimondo seems like the average highschool student, she's 16 years old, in grade 11, born and raised in Niagara Falls and dreams of becoming an orthodotist. However, what her unique is that she has won many awards, ranging from Most Volunteer Hours in her school, Patriotism Awards and Acedemic Proficiency Awards to name a few. Kaila was our guest speaker today and spoke about the Free the Children program as well as her own intiate to raise money to build a school in Kenya through the Me to We Program.

 John Heise our District Govenor visited our club this week and gave us an encouraging presentation. 

Can you make money appear out of thin air? Or put a $20 bill inside a roll of Lifesavers that is inside of a sealed envelop without appearing to come close to that envelope? This gentleman can....

Corporate magician and keynote speaker Anthony Lindan 

A very interesting meeting, seeing some of the Tour Du Lac riders and an informative guest speaker.

The first stop for the Tour du Lac riders at the new Hospital.

Rather than having a guest speaker this meeting was spent on Strategic Planning.

All of us in Rotary are looking to change the world, for why else would we be Rotarians. We believe that our world can be happier, healthier, and more peaceful. We believe that the future can and will be better than the past. We are idealists, and we bring our ideals to life through our Rotary service. - Sheila Bristo.
