Innervisions Recovery Society 
We have supported Innervisions for many years for all the good work that they do.  This is just one more way we can help them.  
They are up for POCO Best Business Award and we can vote for them on the attached link.  Please do this for them.  It would be so wonderful to see them win this award.
 
 
 
 
Also please remember to do the survey for our great Port Moody Police.
 
Our Port Moody Police have asked us to please fill out this survey.  We are so very lucky to have our own Police Department and how closely they work with us for RIBFEST and with our whole community.
Please help the by filling out the survey and sending to them
Thank you.  This is the message I received from Constable Sam Zacharias
Port Moody Police Department is currently conducting a community survey to help shape our strategic priorities including the use of body-worn cameras.
 
Given that the PoMo Rotary does work with PMPD through the year and that many Rotary members are Port Moody residents, would you be able to pass along this survey link to your members? The survey will run now until the end of the month!
