TICKETS NOW AVAILABLE!
Please Contact: Trevor Dagilis


"DECREPITUDE BLUES"
introduced by the Playwright, Kingston's own Douglas Bowie
(Comedy/ Drama)

http://www.douglasbowie.ca/biography.html
From acclaimed writer of various CBC and NFB award-winning productions including:

  • Love and Larceny (starring Jennifer Dale) - Gemini Award
  • Grand Larceny - Columbus International Screenwriting Award
  • Empire, Inc. - Several ACTRA awards including Best Screenwriter

Meet with friends over finger foods, desserts, a glass of wine and
the entertainment of a Silent Auction and Live Theatre
*** ALL INCLUDED *** in the $40 ticket price

Teaser:
Murphy’s Law: “If anything can go wrong it will.”      O’Toole’s Refinement: “Murphy was an optimist.”

Tomorrow is Warren Winter’s birthday. The big Seven O. But he’s not happy about it. In fact, he’s not happy about much of anything. When he left his marriage his wife told him he’d end up old, bitter and alone. And now, as he says: “Old. Check. Bitter. Check. Alone. You betcha.” He’s just lost his job – a newspaper column he’s had for 30 years – being told he’s old-fashioned and irrelevant with nothing to say to today’s audience. He contacts his ex-wife with the faint hope of getting back together, only to learn that she’s taken up with his best friend. He announces a birthday party for himself – and no one shows up. On top of this, he suffers from polymyalgia – pain in every nook and cranny - and every part of his body seems to be giving out at once, causing him grief from hemorrhoids to heart. “But,“ he says, “I’ll deal with my decrepitude the old-fashioned way. I’ll ignore it.” Indeed, the only thing he hasn’t lost is his dark sense of humour as he wryly confronts one indignity after another as they befall him in waves. He says his life is a perfect example of Sturgeon’s Law – “Ninety percent of everything is crap.”

They say comedy is tragedy plus time – but Warren knows he may not have a whole lot of time left. His glass is long past half empty, but there’s still Sturgeon’s last 10%. And is there still a glimmer of hope to be found in those last few drops …?

2025-26 Membership Dues - Payment Deadline
Jun. 21, 2025
Hello KF Rotarians!
 
It's that time of year again to talk about dues!

At our club Board meeting this past Wednesday night, it was decided to set the dues for 2025/26 at $260. This mostly goes to Rotary International and District fees, with  the rest dedicated to our important club expenses (for example website, visitor meals, etc). 
 
This email is a formal request for you to please submit your $260 dues by Saturday June 21 (yes, the first day of Summer!).  If you require a more formal invoice, please let me and Don Polk know. 
 
Payment is to be made as follows:
  1. ​by e-transfer to frontenacRC@gmail.com - please be sure to add in the Comments that your transfer is to pay your dues!

    or

     
  2. by cheque given to me or our incoming Treasurer Catherine Demers. 
 
If you choose not to continue as a member, I respectfully request that you inform Randy (as Membership Chair – randybeck@sympatico.ca or 613 541 9221) and me so we are up-to-date and can hopefully benefit from a conversation with you. 
 
I am very excited about our upcoming year! I believe we have been gaining momentum since the end of the pandemic. Our group of dedicated directors are helping lead all of the important aspects of club success as we continue to increase our impact. 
 
I look forward to your fellowship on our continued journey of community service!

Hope Air

Aug. 20, 2025

* - Food Bank Collection

Hope Air is the only national charity filling a massive healthcare system gap. While we have universal healthcare, we don’t have universal access to that healthcare. The medical treatments start when you show up at the clinic or the hospital. Hope Air provides free flights, accommodation, and meal vouchers for Canadians in need who require medical treatments far from home. Over half of Hope Air patients would either have to borrow money, delay, or simply cancel their life-giving medical treatments. Please feel free to contact me anytime you would like more information on the charity. Meanwhile, their website is HopeAir.ca
