Events

Well, it has been a year!  Join us this evening for the final meeting of the Rotary year, and the departure of the current Board of Directors, as President Sandi hands over to incoming President Kris.

We are excited to share that this meeting will be held in person at the Trent Port Marina.  A familiar and beautiful spot for tradition and transition. The perfect space to welcome our newest member, Mr. Brian Lavender, who will be inducted at the meeting.

Our meal will be a selection of tasty pizzas coupled with appetizers, salads, and desserts homemade by your board of directors.  (If you have a special salad or sweet that you'd like to bring, don't be shy)  Oh, yes, we are making this as environmentally friendly as possible so please bring your reusable cutlery to use and then take it home with you. Bamboo plates will be supplied.

The Rotary Club of Trenton Re: The Jennifer Jones Cross Canada Image Tour, Kids Against Huner Packing Event

The incoming president of Rotary International, Jennifer Jones, is embarking on a cross Canada Imagine Tour beginning in Ottawa on Canada Day, July 1, 2022. She arrives in Toronto on Tuesday July 5, 2022, and several events are planned to recognize her as the first female president of RI, and as a Canadian Rotarian from Windsor, Ontario. In the afternoon, Rotary Districts 7010, 7070, 7080 and 7090, are coming together to host a Kids Against Hunger (KAH) meal packing and fellowship event. The aim is to pack 117,000 meals in recognition of Rotary’s 117 years. Additionally, we are taking a stab at the Guiness record for most meals packed in a multi-site event. The packaged meals are being sold for $1 per meal. We are asking clubs in the area (Trenton, Quinte Sunrise, Picton, Wellington, Brighton, Stirling, Cobourg, Port Hope,) to commit to the purchase of meals that will be packed on that day. The event will be held at the Link Lounge at Loyalist College in Belleville, Ontario. The site has excellent accessible parking and it central to the areas the Clubs serve. It would be awesome to come together and have a packing table for each Club with family and friends packing the meals. If your Club is unable to attend, we are asking each club to at least commit the funds and we will do the packing for you. The goal for the Belleville location is 22,000 meals. Today, we are asking for a financial commitment only as the funds will not be required until the new Rotary year begins on July 1, 2022. This will allow us to ensure we have enough materials at each of the five sites to pack the required meals. The District Conference is this weekend and the Kids Against Hunger committee for July 5, 2022, will be present to talk more about the program and to allow someone from your Club, or yourself, to sign up to pack and to list your commitment. If you have any questions about the pack or the Tour, please contact Michelle Guy or Ron Dick.

We hope to see you on July 5, 2022.

Classification talk from a Rotarian

This is a NO Dinner event - Please eat prior to attending we will be doing wine pairing and charcuterie

Volunteers Needed 

In brief, there will be a fishing tournament on the Bay of Quinte on August 27th and the organizer need judges on all 20 boats.  The judges stay with the participants on the boat and confirm the weight of the fish and ensure they are released back in the water within the time frame required (1 minute I think). There would be 2 15 minute breaks and a one hour lunch.  They normally pay those judges $100 each but those funds would go to the Club Charity instead. 

Still need to confirm if our inbound student will be able to speak to the club this evening.
