Bathurst Rotarians were hard at work designing, building, painting and now transporting the one-of-a-kind Rotary Wheel displayed at public functions.  It made it’s debut in a Hospitality Days Parade and will be on display at all future parades and local events.  This year’s hospitality days had Rotarians on hand giving our Freezies to children.  Next parade is Labor Day – Good job guys and girls….

Message from the Rotary International President 2013 – 2014


Warning: Use of undefined constant max_events - assumed 'max_events' (this will throw an Error in a future version of PHP) in /home/spiderm3/public_html/bathurstrotary/wp-content/plugins/wplistcal/wplistcal.php on line 506
There’s a lot that’s different about Rotary today.  But the foundation that Rotary is built on hasn’t changed.  Rotary is based, as it’s always been, on our core values: service, fellowship, diversity, integrity and leadership.
The Four Way test:
1. Is it the TRUTH?
2. Is it FAIR to all concerned?
3. Will it build GOODWILL and BETTER FRIENDSHIPS?
4. Will it be BENEFICIAL to all concerned?
Everyone of us in Rotary is here because we were invited, and because we made a choice to accept that invitation, to get involved and to make a difference.
In the 2013-14 Rotary year, our theme and my challenge to you, will be ENGAGE ROTARY, CHANGE LIVES.
You’ve chosen to wear the Rotary pin.  The rest is up to you
Ron D. Burton
2013-14 RI President

The Bathurst Rotary Club was pleased to welcome their District Governor, John Carkner,  and the Assistant District Governor, Nancy Theriault, to their Monday noon meeting at the Atlantic Host today (Monday October 18th, 2010). District 7810 is made up of 39 Rotary Clubs throughout New Brunswick, Canada (28)  and Maine, USA (11)

District Governor, John Carkner, born and raised in Ottawa, Ontario met his wife, Marilyn, in 1975, and they were married in 1976. She works at UNB in Adult Education. They have 2 daughters, Jennifer and Meaghan, born in Cornwall, Ontario in 1979 (31) and 1982 (28).

John joined Sears Canada in 1967 and worked there 38 years and 2 days, retiring in 2005. John advanced in the Company and opened new stores in Cornwall, Ont, Dartmouth and Halifax, NS, and Bathurst, NB. His final move was to Fredericton, NB in 1993. Self professed golf hackers, John & Marilyn, play the game of golf for fun. They enjoy various bottles of wine and have a modest wine cellar.

John was sponsored into Rotary by Evan Moffitt of the Bathurst Rotary Club in 1990. He joined the Fredericton Sunrise Club when he transferred there in 1993. Just like in his work experiences, John held many positions within his Rotary Club (Committee Chairs to Treasurer and Club President). He served as an aide to the representative of the President of Rotary International at the District Conference in Oromocto in 2007. He also served as Assistant to the District Governor from 2006 until nominated to be District Governor in August 2008.

John’s belief and personal motto is “to leave it better than you found it and have some fun along the way” He has found that Rotary permits him to accomplish this on a much larger scale than it would be possible individually. He spoke to the Bathurst Rotarians and guests about the importance of inclusion and increasing their membership while congratulating the Club in their 26% increase (12 new members last year) which was the best in the entire 7810 District.

District Governor Carkner also spoke of the 4 methods to contribute to the Rotary Foundation so that dollars are returned to our District for various projects. He encouraged us to promote ourselves more because the Bathurst Club has been used as a role model for various initiatives like Interact, the Community BBQ, supporting the Weekend of Thanks for the Chaleur Regional Hospital and the up-coming Radio Auction.
