** IN PERSON - SYMPOSIUM RESTAURANT + ZOOM ** President Elect Lise will discuss planning for her upcoming year (2025-2026) as club President.

**ZOOM only**  We look forward to newest member Stefanie Bradley's Classification Talk.  Rotary has always had a long-standing tradition of asking new members to give a “classification talk” – to tell a story to introduce themselves. Every Rotarian has a story. Why you joined, why you stay, how your involvement, your service, or your friends add to your life – it’s all there. Why tell it? Because it gives the members a chance to learn about what Rotary means to you, strengthen your bonds with other Rotarians and deepen your club’s sense of community.

The seventh and final scheduled meeting of the 2024-2025 Board of Directors.  The primary focus of this meeting will be approval of a Budget for the 2025-2026 Rotary year.

** ZOOM ONLY **  The Board of Directors will have approved a draft Budget that will be presented to the members.  A Special Members Meeting will be held on June 19th to actually approve the final Budget for 2025-2026.

Tour de Guelph is a cycling event in support of Guelph General Hospital and local Rotary projects through the Rotary Clubs of Guelph South and Guelph Trillium. Its intent is to build and support community well-being within Guelph-Wellington. In its eleven years, the event has raised over $1.2 million for our community and has grown into one of Guelph-Wellington’s largest community sporting events. 2024 was another record-breaking year with 780 riders and $204,000 raised. About 100 volunteers help with the event each year. The majority being Rotarians, plus many other individuals and local business leaders lend a hand. This allows the majority of the proceeds received from sponsorship and peer-to-peer fundraising to go directly to important community initiatives. Tour de Guelph is for all ages and abilities and welcomes participation from community members as well as visitors to Guelph-Wellington.

** In Person (venue TBA) **  The final regularly scheduled meeting of the 2024-2025 Rotary year, where the outgoing 2024-2025 President welcomes the incoming 2025-2026 President and Board of Directors.
