We have had so many GREAT stories.  One of the most significant was from Mayor Mike when he said that Rotary should be so proud of putting on the 2 BEST fundraisers in our City.....Search for the Perfect Pint and Port Moody Rotary Ribfest...!!!
 
Here are some comments from others:
 
Dear RibFest Team,
 
On behalf of S.U.C.C.E.S.S., I like to express our gratitude to the RibFest  for providing the volunteer opportunities to our newcomer clients. 
 
During the 3 days, a total of 14 newcomer volunteers had participated in the event.  To most of them, it was their first time volunteering in Canada and it had become one of their best experiences.  They were provided with a chance to get connected and to know about the local community.  I am very proud of your team and the RibFest. 
 
Attached please find some of the photos taken.  All of our clients have signed our Photo Consent in case you wish to share the photos in your meetings.
 
I am working on engaging newcomers to volunteer in other activities.  I look forward to working with your team to promote community involvement and foster positive social changes.
 
Best regards,
 
Juliana
