1. Club dues: $5 per semester (so $10 for the year). This is a requirement to be considered a member in good standing. Please submit your due to Dylan Fernando beginning next meeting (Nov 4th.)

2. Toronto Zoo Turtle Island: Remember: if you see a turtle somewhere, log into this website:
http://www.torontozoo.com/adoptapond/TurtleTally.asp?t=form and enter where/when you saw it. The Ontario Turtle Tally wants the information for tracking purposes because 7 of the 8 turtle species in Toronto are endangered!

 
3. Microcredit Conference: Learn about microcredit - what it is, case studies, and other presentations regarding microcredit within the context of Rotary. This is an excellent networking opportunity if microcredit and other financial systems are of interest of you. This will take place on Nov. 14th from 9am-4pm at 789 Yonge Street (Toronto Reference Library) and the cost is $20 / student. For more information, visit http://www.microfinanceconference.ca/index.html
 
4. District 7070 Conference recap: This was a ton of fun! There were tons of workshops, presentations, and various other motivational activities to help everyone get in the spirit of Rotary. Also, there was a lot of helpful take-away information for Rotaract, like ideas on what individual clubs could take on as projects, as well as some opportunities to get to know what other Rotaract clubs in District 7070 are already doing!

Not only that but we were only one of two Rotaract clubs in the region to receive a Rotaract Presidential Citatio, a feat we've achieved for two years running! In order to qualify for this recognition, the club in question must complete a certain percentage of activities from a long list of requirements. To view last year's list, visit http://www.rotary.org/RIdocuments/en_pdf/900a_en08.pdf . Let's keep up the good work, and try to achieve this again this year! Great job everyone!
 
5. Princess Margaret Hospital 5K recap: There were some very positive comments for everyone from Rotary who came out to support this! Since Jackie was only there for the Sunday shift, could those that attended on Friday and Saturday please email rotaract@utoronto.ca with the subject "PMH 5K" to confirm your attendance.
 
6. UNICEF Trick or Eat: This is occurring on Friday October 30th at the Queen's Park TTC subway station. Just show up for your shift (feel free to dress up!) and everything will be set up for you already. If you are still interested in signing up for the morning shift (7-9am) please contact rotaract@utoronto.ca with the subject line "Trick or Eat".
 
7. Community Service Projects: Sunshine Centre for Seniors at Yonge and Bloor are interested in getting a group of about 10 people on Tuesday November 17th from 12-3PM to make preserves with the seniors there! There will be more information coming, but if you are tentatively interested in this event, email rotaract@utoronto.ca with the subject line "Sunshine Centre".
