Fellowship & Entertainment Committee - Building the Rotarian Family
Fellowship and Entertainment Committee - Our Mandate
Responsible for the coordination of fellowship events for the members and their partners. Provides visitation or other means of supporting members or their families who are ill or in need of help. The committee is also responsible for visiting Rotarians and guests at Friday meetings to be greeted in an organized way. This Committee meets monthly on the first Friday of every month.
This last Rotary year was one of fellowship and entertainment success! With a variety of different outings and something for everyone, the committee continued to excite and inspire fellowship throughout the year.
Fellowship and Entertainment Committee - Past Chair Brigitte Bogar

We anticipate that the level of Fellowship and Entertainment activity organized for the Club will stay the same moving forward. With the diversity of The Rotary Club of Toronto’s membership our philosophy for event selection is to find events that our members are passionate about. The Committee supports and promotes events, which may only attract a few people, but those people who do attend have a good time and fellowship is achieved. If we as a Club and Committee members are going to do an activity or attend a function or have always wanted to try something, inviting our fellow Rotarian Friends to join us enhances our experience and opens new doors to the club members. The key to more and varied events is to invite more members of the Club to join us, either as full time committee members or as ad hoc members to organize a single event.
We are developing and expanding our mission as we go and welcome all suggestions for events and individuals who are eager to organize an event. Our challenge for the coming years is expanding club and individual involvement in fellowship and entertainment events.
Fellowship could not be a success if it was not for each and every member on the committee to whom we give my thanks.
