Happy last week of May! As I wind down my year as your Club President, I can’t believe how fast the time has gone!
This Friday will be the last fellowship meeting of my term. I’m going to shake things up a bit, so it won’t be just the same thing as usual. We will start at our usual time of 12:10 with announcements followed by the auctioning off of the awesome metal Rotary logo donated by Ron Haines. Then we will have a short activity that I think you’ll enjoy!
SAVE THE DATE! Instead of the usual President party with cookies following a meeting, I’m planning a social gathering! Who doesn’t love a party? Save the date for Tuesday, July 9 from 5-7pm. We’ll meet at Burntwood Tavern in Belden Village. They have great happy hour prices and yummy food. Hope you can join me and celebrate the end of my term and the beginning of Mark Rojek’s.

For our 'Non-Event Raffle', we hope that you won't come to the event we are not having and not eat the great food that we are not providing. Okay, so now you have an idea of what this Non-Event event is, or I guess in this case, what it isn't.
Our Non-Event Raffle raises funds to benefit our various Canton Rotary Projects, as well as providing funding for the Youth Backpack Food program, Youth Mentoring programs, and an Opiate Neutralization Bag program. All such projects are in the Canton City Schools and/or in the City of Canton. The ticket price is low and purchasing is available online, so we encourage you to get others, even those outside of our club, involved in buying or selling tickets, so they have the opportunity to be part of our community support.
At four weekly meetings between May and June, we will draw two door prize winners at each, with a $500.00 grand prize to be drawn at the fourth meeting. (Winners need not be present, door prize winners can only win once, but all winning and non-winning tickets will be eligible for the $500 grand prize.)
Tickets are $20 each and may be purchased on Eventbrite at:
There are 120 active members of the Rotary Club of Canton and we have 500 tickets to sell before the first Friday in May. Please commit to selling at least 4 or 5 tickets before the end of April because "many hands make for light work". Thanks!
