End of our Rotary Year
 

A huge thank you to President Paul for his year as President of our Rotary Club.
Guests this week were:  Victoria ,Ryan, and Monica.  
 
President Paul presented the Paul Harris Fellows to:  Jim Bell, Andy Berrisford and Peter Muir.  Absent was Alistair Henry.
 
 
Rotary has sent over 17 million dollars of aid to the people of the Ukraine
 
At the end of a Rotary year we sometimes loose very valuable members.  This year is no exception.  Terry Miller will not be renewing his membership with Rotary, but he 'is' a Rotarian at heart and will be coming out to volunteer for any of the events that he can.  You will be missed Terry, and thank you so much for all you have done for our Rotary Club.
 
 
We are also sad to see May leave.  May has gone back to school but again she and her husband will be coming out to events to help.  Thank you to May and Lee.
 
Aziz has decided not to renew his membership BUT like May will be helping us with many of our projects.  Aziz was instrumental in getting the 'virtual experience' for Kids Zone and will be helping again this year.  He also always comes to RIPS and Shred-a-Thon to help out.    Thank you Aziz for all you have done for Rotary over the years.  We 'will' keep in touch.
 
The theme for this coming Rotary year is:  Create Hope in the World
 
Trish drew the logo for all the Club members to sign and presented it to President Elect Susan at the meeting.  
 
 
Great idea and well done everyone....
Next up !!!!!????
50/50
Please send this along to your friends, family, neighbours and anyone else you can think of.  Wouldn't it be fantastic to have a 'huge' 50/50
 
Our Colossal 5050 Draw is a big part of RibFest.  This year our goal is a $225,000 jackpot with half going to the lucky winner.

The four Rotary Clubs of the tri-cities join in this lottery with the collective goal of making a big impact in Port Moody, Coquitlam, and Port Coquitlam.

5050 proceeds go to Rotary projects and fantastic local organizations doing great things.  Just imagine:

  • Feeding school kids through a Rotary Starfish program

  • Improving accessibility at an environmental centre

  • Sending kids to camp

  • Improving parks and trails

  • Supporting seniors

  • Helping people with addictions

 

We can do these things and more!

It has been a year since Carol passed. In her honour, our son John will be riding with the Cops For Cancer this September - 800 km from Boston Bar to Delta. He is a casual biker only - so this is a very long bicycle ride for him.
