CLASSIFICATION TALKS

FOR 

 THE IRENE KAUSHANSKY & PHILIP BROWN TEAM!

A very exciting first for our Rotary Club, it's the dynamic duo of Irene & Philip.  They will be delivering their joint classification talks.  

Irene is passionate about Real Estate, her clients and her Community as evidenced by the time and effort she has given us at our BINGO duties.  As an aside, Irene is also a swimmer!

Philip's background is in business and has an education in social work.  In 2006, Philip decided to leave his role as a VP Operations and apply his business acumen to the world of Real Estate.  Philip was the lead at our Watershed clean-up at our Rotary Peace Park.

Classification talks are the most well-attended Rotary meetings, it gives all our our members a chance to welcome and celebrate our new members.

Join us at the Old Mill luncheon on the 28th day of May. 

Please RSVP so that I can order the appropriate number of lunches. 

ROTARY MEETING

JUNE 10, 2025

CLUBHOUSE

As we wind down our year, we have two meetings before ribfest.  My recommendation is for us to have what we call in Rotary,  " A Fireside" chat whereby we meet to map out our goals and strategies for next year plus talk about what's important to you as a member of our club.

This will be a "Bring Your Own Snack" meeting - We will provide water and also some potato chips/Doritos/Cheetos

Please let me know if you plan on attending.  I know we have so much going on right now and I think we need a "just us" meeting.

Looking forward to seeing everyone and anyone.
