This is the quote that Kay Wu started her Classification talk with. 
Life is Full of Surprises
Just enjoy the Ride
 
Classification talks are always a favourite with our Rotary Club and Kay's was no exception.  
Just a brief look at her life and what a life it is.  
She was born in Guangzhou City in China and at the age of 8 years old she started playing Chess.  The school Kay went to had a 'Chess Cup' and she was 'hooked'.  At school she learned to play chess and did so as a major subject, which means she went to school to play Chess and the academics were secondary.  Kay became a Champion and at the age of 20 retired from Professional Chess Competitions.  
She married and has 1 daughter who is going to University here.  Kay and her husband owned Corlac Equipment.  
Kay teaches Chess in Burnaby now and we are so happy to have here in our Rotary Club.
 
 
The Before I Die wall is going to be 'unveiled' on April 27th, 2019.  Please come down to Moody Ales, enjoy a pint or two and write down your 'wishes'.  Thank you to Claire for spearheading this wall.  This will be great fun for all people in our Community.
The wall looks like this right now:  More photos to come !!!
 
We cleaned up Heritage Mtn. Blvd. and pulled weeds ERH   Great job everyone.  Rain or Shine we go out to help keep our Community beautiful.
 
 
Dan gave us an update on Rotary World Help Network.  We are so fortunate to have 3 of our Rotary Club of Port Moody members on the Board of RWH.  Ann, Dan and Ian are all on their Board.  Great job you three.

Another great event that the Soroptomist's are doing is 'WALK A MILE'
I hope we can get a group from Rotary together to go out and support them.

 

“You can’t really understand another person’s experience until you’ve walked a mile in their shoes.” This Walk a Mile event asks the men in our community to literally walk one mile in women’s shoes. It’s not easy walking in these shoes, but it’s fun and it gets the community to talk about a very timely topic…Gender Equality. The theme this year is #womenatwork.

Date: Friday, April 26th, 2019
Event Kickoff: 11:00am
Where: Coquitlam Centre – Northeast Plaza off Pinetree Way in Coquitlam.

$20.00 entry fee
