Show Your Like for Mike - Was a great event ! We are so lucky to have Mike as a Rotarian.
Darrell Burnham let us know that Domino has been dropped as an assistance dog, but she will be assigned for the purposes of a VIP dog and this will be her last meeting.
And 'Chef' is going to miss him very much. Every week, Chef comes out of the kitchen to give some love to Domino. It was heartwarming to see him say goodbye.
RLI Training was on Wednesday, 21st at Aria
December 5th, 2018 - Tri-Cities Rotary Joint Christmas Breakfast at Vancouver Golf Club. Tickets are $25.00. 7:00AM. Please register as this is always a great chance to visit with all the Rotarians in the Tri-Cities.
Innervisions ......Gayle has asked for us to bring in socks and mugs for the ASAP. - event will take place Monday, December 17.
Mike P talked about Foundation and how important it is to donate to. Funds we apply for though district grants are actually collected three years prior in the form of donations to Paul Harris. The more money we put in to this, the more we are investing in our future projects.
Christmas decorating was very successful. Lots of people attended and the place was decorated by 11:30 am. It was a ‘special’ day. Thanks to all who came out to help.

Ian Roe - BC Centre of Disease Control - working on a project with local SD’s to inform about vaccinations. His projects entitled ‘I Boost Immunity’, and ‘Kids Boost Immunity’. These are online programs that inform people about immunization and the main theme is global giving. The more people learn, the more vaccines get donated internationally. The CDC work with private donators, as well as the province of BC. THe programs are administered through Public Health Canada and they are coordinated by the CDC. They work to immunize internationally through UNICEF.
There are two vaccination programs globally - domestic and global. Domestic is provincial/state run, while global is WHO, Rotary, etc. His program brings both of these programs together so that they can ‘cross multiply’.
IBoostImmunity - Adult focused
KidsBoostimmunity - Student focused (newer program that has just been launched)
The goal is to raise vaccine literacy worldwide. There is a lot of misinformation out there about vaccines. Anti-vaxxers should not control the conversation - the ‘silent’ majority need to speak up.
The online platforms are a vehicle to provide vaccinations globally. It informs domestic group about the importance of vaccinations and at the same time helps globally. “Educational Labour”. One right answer equals one vaccine earned. Vaccines are donated by London Drugs and Shoppers Drug Mart.
The Rotary was treated today as a ‘focus group’. Is there any interest in having a local school involved through Rotary. With this platform, is there an opportunity to have local kids/schools be ‘sponsored’ by Rotary to encourage participation.
Sponshorship would be $250/school.
