To celebrate the 30th anniversary of our chertering as a Rotary Club, we're arranging a private room at a downtown Halifax watering hole. We'll be asking for a $15 donation at the door, which will go towards funding our next anniversary event. More details to follow, but we'll have a 50-person capacity (limit) so we're giving the first opportunity to current Harbourside Rotarians and plus ones, until we have a better idea of our numbers. Please email Ashley Butt (rotary.ashley7820@gmail.com) to reserve your spot. |
