There was a nice gathering with terrific attendance at our meeting on March 7th, where we all received a review of the results of Rotary Winter Games!  Roughly 120 people attended, raising over $10,000 for the Club, which exceeded expectations, along with last year’s total.  Yakov and Cristina provided a recap for the group, and deserve a lot of credit for the work they put in to make this happen, and such a success.  All reviews from those at the meeting who attended the Games were great.
 
Tracy Bray not only brought along a guest, Katelyn Lee (don’t quote me entirely on her last name!), who is a Madoc native, relocated to Belleville, after practicing law at Miller Thompson in Toronto.  Here’s hoping she enjoyed the environment to join us again, and maybe become a Rotarian!
 
Tracy also brought an update and information on this year’s excursion to Camp Merrywood, which is coming May 2 though 4.  Volunteers are welcome to sign up through April 15.
 
Thanks to some fine Rotarians, our 50/50 commitments to the Belleville Senators for the month of March are fulfilled, although people can sign up to volunteer for April dates on Clubrunner.
 
Tim McKinney added to the meeting that, if anyone has any sponsorship leads for RLK, to please reach out to him and let him know by e-mail, and thanks in advance.
 
Finally, although not much to report, Paul and Jeanine gave a quick update on Refresh Rotary, and asked the folks for any feedback, along with the reminder that any potential actions would be presented to the Board for review.
 
Thank you to all!
