“We only have one welcome to Melfort sign, and there needs to be more,” George said. “The city has just always had too many big ticket priorities and it just hasn’t happened, so we thought, ‘Well, maybe we can.’ It doesn’t have to be a million dollar welcome sign, it just needs to be something warm and friendly.” The piece was crafted by T.W. Enterprises/Worley Hoppers for over $5,000. A total of $3,000 was received from the Sask Lotteries Community Grant, and the Rotary Club of Melfort is providing $3,000. Any remaining Sask Lotteries funds will go toward another one of the Communities in Bloom project: a nine-foot tall metal tree with flower pots at Memorial Garden.

The Melfort Rotary Club is getting set to host the Rotary District 5550 conference which will be a virtual event this year.
Over 250 Rotarians from Saskatchewan, Manitoba, and northwestern Ontario are expected to participate in the conference that runs from May 13-15.
District governor (DG) Gail Marie Anderson said the conference is typically hosted in the home of the DG but with restrictions in place, that sadly can’t happen this year.
“Our theme is family of Rotary,” Anderson said. “We still want a lot of interaction so that is why we are doing it on the Zoom platform so people can still have that sense of fellowship.”
