Reminder that the meeting this week is at Vancouver Golf Club. 7:00AM
Our Annual Tri-Cities Christmas Breakfast.
Christmas Gift Ideas:
Please be reminded that we have the Xmas ornaments for 'sale' by donation, with the funds raised going to support the Starfish meals program.
The ornaments were originally created by artist Hillary Morris and were sold as a fundraiser by Caps Cycle in Port Moody, which was , at the time, owned by Gord Hobbis. Gord is a New Westminster Rotarian and has a left over inventory of these Port Moody ornaments - one of a kind, never to be seen again, would make an amazing decoration or a gift if you have friends who are as passionate about our city as we all are :)
They are $ 30 each with proceeds above the actual cost of manufacturing going towards our donation to Starfish program, supporting kids and families with much needed meals.
Mike will have them at the meeting and we can take payment by cash or 'tap' on the credit/debit card system.
Note, this is ONE ball, the pictures are from each side. Depicted is the arrival of the first train in Port Moody, the Train Station, Can-Can dancers.. very Port Moody 'esque.
When you purchase your beverages for the Christmas season, please remember to go to the Port Moody Liquor store, 4 - 2929 St. John's Street, Port Moody.
and tell them at the till that this is for Port Moody Rotary Club rebate. Please make sure they put PORT MOODY Rotary as there as many Port Moody clubs doing the same thing. We receive 4% of all liquor purchased.
