This Week's meetingJuly 10 Darcy Long Be there to meet District 5040 Governor Darcy Long. This will be Darcy's first official club visit of her year and she is very much looking forward to meeting you. Important Notice about this week's meetingManuel at the Urban Grill has informed us that he has a serious staff shortage and does not have a cook available for breakfast. Consequently the Grill will not open for breakfast until 9:00. What does this mean for us? We will have our meeting as normal starting at 7:15 at the BG Urban Grill. There will not be a hot breakfast but we will have coffee and muffins available.: Manuel is definitely not the only person/organization in Whistler facing staffing shortages. We understand the challenge and we are very thankful that he informed us about this situation ahead of time. In addition we are extremely thankful that he is allowing us to use his restaurant before it opens. Thanks for your support Manuel!

Subaru Ironman CanadaAgain the Rotary Club of Whistler has been asked to head up the Athlete Check in function. Subaru Ironman Canada is a major event for Whistler and it's a major fundraiser for the Rotary Club of Whistler. Please mark your calendars, wake the neighbours and bring your friends. This year Athlete Check in occurs over three days. (Jul 26,27 and 28). Check in is where athletes pick up all the necessary paperwork and race articles necessary to compete. It is a great opportunity to meet the people who will be competing in the event. Those who have worked the event in previous years will note that, in general, these athletes are a pretty friendly bunch and Athlete Check in is a good experience. To register you must go to the Subaru Ironman Canada Volunteer Registration Site and select one or more of the Athlete Check In shifts. |
