Project Amigo
Mar. 30, 2026
Our guest speaker will be Chelsea Letwin. Chelsea has been a Rotaractor since 2022, and the president of Northern Lights Rotaract since 2024. Their club committed early on to taking part in an international service project every three years. Project Amigo became the first milestone in that commitment. To make this possible, they have hosted an annual Mexican Fiesta fundraiser, and through that effort were able to send three club members to the Literature and Culture Week from February 1–8. Chelsea's connection to the project comes from helping build the momentum behind those fundraisers and seeing how meaningful the experience was for those who attended. During the presentation, they plan to share a short segment of a video from the trip, as it captures the energy, learning, and community spirit of the week in a way that truly brings the experience to life |

I am pleased to share that we have arranged for a LifeBus to take our group to donate blood following our meeting on Monday, April 13. The bus will pick us up at approximately 1:30 p.m. from Chateau Louis Conference Centre and return us to the same location. The entire experience will take about two hours. I have reserved 10 donation spots for our club. Donating blood is one of the simplest yet most powerful ways we can help others. Every donation can save up to three lives, supporting patients undergoing surgery, cancer treatment, trauma care, and those with chronic illnesses. The need for blood is constant, and maintaining a strong blood supply depends entirely on generous volunteers. As Rotarians, service is at the heart of what we do. This is an opportunity to make a direct and immediate impact in our community. If you would like to reserve one of the 10 spots, please let me know as soon as possible and I will send you the link to register. Cheers, Annie |

The Alberta Aviation Museum
Apr. 27, 2026 12:00 p.m.
Longtime Downtown Rotarian Brent Abbott will be our guest speaker. He will give us an update on our neighbour here on Kingsway Avenue, the Alberta Aviation Museum. The Royal Canadian Air Force built the aircraft hangar that houses the museum during the Second World War for the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan. It is the only double-long, double-wide hangar of its type left. The BCATP gathered men and women from the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand to train pilots, navigators, and other aircrew to support the Allied war effort. The Alberta Aviation Museum Association incorporated in 1980 as a group of aviation and history enthusiasts and occupied temporary facilities at the Edmonton Municipal Airport through the 1980s. In 1990 the Association partnered with a diverse group of other like-minded aviation groups, under the leadership of the Edmonton Aviation Heritage Society, who approached the City of Edmonton about leasing the Hangar on Kingsway. The tireless efforts of the Edmonton Aviation Heritage Society’s volunteers paid off, and they cleaned up the old hangar and moved into their permanent home in 1991. Over the years, thousands of dedicated volunteers have worked on an iconic collection of more than 30 aircraft, including many ground-up restorations. With the closure of the airport, the museum moved into a new phase, becoming the historic cornerstone of the new Blatchford community. In 2019, the Society signed a new 25-year lease with the City of Edmonton, and are embarking on a major revitalization to better tell Edmonton’s exciting flying history to a whole new generation. |
