Holiday Treats for Westminster Students
The children and staff of Westminster School received a holiday treat from the Rotary Club of Lethbridge Sunrise. The cookies were made by Bootsma bakery. We also purchased mini-oranges and gave each person a chocolate hug! This was achieved through the fundraising efforts of the club. The school sent their thanks to you for your generous support.
YUMMY !!!!
Thank you to Cathy and Karl for preparing the Gifts
Sophie Osaya is heading home in Uganda
She is excited about her trip and looks forward to visiting with her son and his family and meeting his new born boy. She leaves from Calgary to Amsterdam and then to Niarobie Kenya which takes about 21 hours, stays over night and then she has less than an hours flight on to Uganda the following morning. I suspect some of you might like to send her on her way with a little gift and if you are so inclined, her address is........ Unit 10 409 43 Street S. Lethbridge T1J 4B3. She really appreciates the support of our members!!

WELL DONE – DISTRICT 5360!
Our sincere thanks to Vic Maris from the Rotary Club of Sylvan Lake for inspiring this challenge – your leadership and commitment to the eradication of polio
is sincerely appreciated.Congratultaions to the Rotary Club of Sylvan Lake who raised over $10,000 USD during the challenge. Fourteen Clubs participated in the Cycling Challenge (with additional cycling contributions from Lethbridge Mosaic and U of Calgary Rotoract Club)
To the best of my knowledge I am thrilled to report:
Collectively we cycled 47,303.59 kilometres
DGE – Martin Parnell shared the following fun fact. The distance around the Earth at the Equator, its circumference is $40,075 kilometres – so our District cycled AROUND THE WORLD to eradicate Polio
The total District Polio Contributions from July 1/20 to Oct 30/20 are $60,700 CAD
My sincere thanks to the Club Cycle Champions for your commitment to the challenge, to all those who participated to our collective kilometres and to all our generous sponsors for your financial support
WE DID IT & WE’LL BE BACK NEXT YEAR
WITH AN “EXPANDED VERSION “
Please continue to submit your donations throughout the year to Polio Plus – Rotary International has set a target of $1500 US per club/year to eradicate polio.

District 5360 Rotarians, Rotaractors and Interactors
I am very excited to share with you our plans for the Club Leadership Team Training Workshops to be held in February and March 2021.
Below is everything you need to know about this learning opportunity, but were afraid to ask:
Who should attend?
- Our District’s Rotary Family: Rotarian, Rotaractor and Interactor Leaders. District leaders recognise it takes more than a president to lead a club, it takes a team, thus it has been decided to open up the training to all leaders and potential leaders in your club. We are hoping that at least 4-6 members of your club will attend. There is no additional charge for this training.
Why are we doing this??
- Because we believe "Ordinary people working together can achieve extraordinary results – Stronger together!
What will you learn?
- The topics will include:
- Part 1: “Leading Your Club” (Martin Parnell DGE), “Planning for Success” (Karen Blewett), “Setting Your Club Goals” (Linda Morris) and “The Value of Community Assessments” (Hyder Hassan).
- Part 2: “District Achievements” (Mary Turner DG), “Diversity, Equity and Inclusion in your Club” (Sadia Khan and Steve Leavitt DGN), and “AG Roles and Responsibilities” (AG’s).
- Each session will be led by AG’s from across the District.
When will it take place?
- Saturday, February 20th (Part 1) and Saturday , Feb 27th (Part 2) or Wednesday, March 13th (Part 1) and Wednesday, March 20th (Part 2)
- Each interactive Zoom session will last from 3 - 3 1/2 hours
Where will this take place?
- This training will be online. Go to www.rotary5360.ca , EVENTS….CLUB AND DISTRICT CALENDAR. Then select dates (Part 1 and 2) on the day/time you wish to attend and register….It’s that easy!
