Today, we will hold a Remembrance Day serivce in honour of those who gave their lives for our freedom.

TBD

The Toronto East Rotary Club is holding its 10th Annual Arts and Crafts Sale on Saturday, November 16th, 2019, 10:00am – 5:00pm, at Eastminster United Church, at the corner of Danforth and Jackman Avenues (one block west of Chester subway station) with 45+ diverse Artisans selling their creations. Refreshments will be available, together with live music, face painting and a draw. Proceeds raised go to community projects including the Out of the Cold Program at Eastminster. Admission is free.

There is no guest speaker today.  Instead, we'll discuss club business.

Eleanor Fulcher of the Fulcher Modelling Agency will speak.  She has written a book about her business life and she'll share some insights with us. 

"In 1960, Eleanor Fulcher borrowed $500 to start her own self-improvement and modeling agency. There were few, if any, women who had their own business then. Women were encouraged to become a teacher, a nurse, a secretary or a stewardess. The ultimate goal for all women was to marry and have children. In spite of these established guidelines, Eleanor Fulcher went on to build the most successful self-improvement and modeling school and model agency in Canada. Then, in 1980, she opened the first spa in Canada. For anyone who would like a few pointers on what it takes to become an entrepreneur – or if you just want some tips on how to build more confidence – this book is a MUST READ."
