It's official... our club has committed $50,000 to help bring the movies back to Dauphin


Yes, it's official - our club has committed $50,000 towards the Dauphin Community Cinema project! This contribution will give us naming rights to one of the four movie theatres in the complex. This photo was taken during last week's club meeting by Jessica Rawluk of the Dauphin Herald and was included in the August 18th newspaper issue.
Watch for more details on the fundraising initiatives the club has planned to help make this project (and others) a reality this year.

Some creative brainstorming at today's club meeting

At today's club meeting, Heather led us through some group discussion around the mural project. One of our club projects is to have a mural painted along the back side of the Extra Foods building in Dauphin.

When the concept was originally started, we were looking at developing a set of 4 'history of Dauphin' panels that were going to be placed on the North side of the Rotary Arena. Due to some changes in that plan, we are now working on this other location and reviewing the design for the mural.

Discussion centered around ideas for the actual murals. A couple of decisions are needed before we can proceed:
1. What is the key message of the mural? Is it to promote the work of Rotary in the community? Is it a general community mural focused on the history and/or accomplishments?
2. What key elements need to be included in the design?

If you have any idea, comments, or concerns, please contact Heather asap to have your input included in the process.
