Trevor Schmidt from the Port Moody Volunteer Fire Department was with us. Showed a video of the challenge each contestant had to do for those who weren’t able to make the event. We presented them with a cheque for $1864.00 proceeds from their beer tent. Unfortunately it was cold and damp all weekend or the proceeds could have been higher. Thanks to our 4 Port Moody Brewers for donating all the beer to a worthwhile event. Great work everyone.

Speakers were from our Club reporting on their trip to Belize where they assisted the Rotary Club there distribute the goods inside our Club’s last container. Belize is very small and mostly poor so in addition to distributing our goods they also helped finishing and painting a new house for a needy resident as supported by Rotary in Belize. It seems they also had time to snorkel, explore and they managed to find some local beer and some high quality Rum. Thanks to Al Stjernegaard, Dan Gallant, Linda Balzer for representing us proudly in Belize.
