Please register today for our Club luncheon meeting to be held at the University Club on May 16, 2022 at 12 noon. Rotarian Rob Dunseith has just returned from a three-week holiday in Ireland and will share his experience of travel in what is hopefully a late stage of the Covid pandemic. His travels took him to all four provinces of Ireland including spending some time in his family’s homeland of Northern Ireland. He and Elizabeth were present during the recent local elections in which the nationalist Sinn Fein party received the largest number of seats in the Northern Ireland Assembly. Rob argues that this represents a significant watershed in the peace process begun with the 1998 Good Friday Agreement, one of the best examples of peace building we have witnessed in the modern era. Our club will have a special guest, Claudia Caluori, from Italy. She is a Rotarian and Rotary Peace Fellow and will share her experiences with us. PARTICIPATION OPTIONS In-person attendance will include lunch for $25 per person, payable in cash or by cheque at the door. Zoom attendance for those unable to attend in-person will be free. Masks are recommended inside the University Club when attendees are not seated for lunch. Those who plan to attend in person are asked to register by Thursday, May 12, 2022. PARKING Parking is available in Lot 5108, accessible off 116 Street, south of Saskatchewan Drive for $5.50 between 11:30 AM and 1:30 PM. Remember your license plate number. You can pay for parking at the machines located at the southeast corner of the lot or in the lobby of the University Club or using the Honk Mobile App. Note that fines for illegal parking at the U of A are substantial.

Hello Campers, Bryan Gouthro has very generously offered to host us at his property 20 mins from the Jasper Park gates. There is room for us all to pitch our tents and will also accomodate Al's trailer:)) There is a fire pit and we can use the washrooms. This is great as we can all be together and not spread out in different campsites. There are lots of hikes to choose from depending on your comfort level....or maybe you just want to go into Jasper for some fudge! Bryan mentioned that he knows of a guide who would lead a hike if we desire. Closer to the time we can all get together and meal plan. This weekend will be a great opportunity for some fellowship and fun. Please sign up if you are interested. Cheers, Annie |
