IN THIS BULLETIN... 
At last Friday's meeting, Michael Seitz, a retired Air Force Veteran, spoke to the club for a Remembrance Day meeting. Michael spoke about his experience in the military from his recruitment in the air force to the various operations he was apart of in Egypt, India, and Pakistan.
 
Michael recounted how he became a test pilot as well and spoke about the importance of peacekeeping. This year marks the 75th anniversary since the first peacekeeping operation. Michael concluded his talk by commenting on the need for people on both sides of a conflict to try to understand the other's perspective. Without this, Michael noted, conflicts will never be resolved.

Adopt A Family 2023 - Rotary Club of Guelph Annual Campaign!
Let's Help Some Families Enjoy the Christmas Season!
 
Once again, this year the Rotary Club of Guelph will “Adopt-A-Family” for the Holiday Season, and we’re asking for the usual generosity of our club members and friends so that we can become the Secret Santa for families and youth in need. Marguerite Campbell is coordinating this effort for our club, on behalf of our Children and Youth Committee. 
 
In 2022 our Rotary Club of Guelph supported four families with eighteen (18) children, and in addition two independent youth, with much needed gift cards and specially chosen gifts. How many families and youth can we support this year?
 
PLEASE DONATE RIGHT NOW
Our club’s starting goal is to raise at least $5,000 within the next two weeks so that we can support at least two large families. With higher donations, we can also support several independent youth.
 
Our club volunteers will do all the necessary organizing on your behalf, and you will receive a tax receipt for your donation. 
 
Preferred option: Canada Helps
Donate through our Rotary Club of Guelph’s CANADA HELPS page HERE:
 
Tax receipts will automatically be issued by Canada Helps, and it will be easy for us to track the total amount donated. 
 
Alternative option: Mail a cheque
Make your cheque payable to Rotary Club of Guelph (memo line: Adopt-A-Family) and mail to:
             Marguerite Campbell
             24 Verney St.
             Guelph, ON N1H 1N4
Or ... bring a cheque to an in-person Friday meeting at the ICC and hand it to Marguerite.
You will be sent a tax receipt from the Rotary Club of Guelph for donations over $20.
 
Thank you!
