Don't Keep Secrets !! Sat Oct 22, 2016

Why keep Rotary a Secret.

 
If you’re a new Rotarian, seasoned Rotary member, or Rotaractors you’d be amazed to know of all of the things our District accomplishes and makes happen every year. 
 
We shouldn’t keep these things a secret from ourselves. 
 
Make Dreams Real is our annual event to share and celebrate these accomplishments.  It’s about getting pumped and excited for the accomplishments we achieve together and igniting our passion as we move forward. 
 
Be part of this great day on October 22, 2016 in Calgary, Alberta.  Meet and connect with other Rotarians from across our District through interactive sessions and empowering stories.  Be part of helping our District continue to make dreams real.
 
With only days left to register, please confirm your attendance as soon as you can by registering here.

Shelter Canada has been taking groups on builds for 20 years and has an in-country team who are well established on the ground. The $33,000 to build 10 more homes is already financed by the Rotary clubs, with the assistance of approved District 5360 Grants.
