Osoyoos Rotary Club - December 20, 2012

Today we had a light agenda. We kicked the meeting off with Lynda Waynes giving us her bio and some more information about her. She was born in Montreal where she lived until she was 14. French was being forced on the English in the 60's so Linda's family moved to Calgary and then Linda later moved to Oliver on an orchard. After High School Linda got married and had children, the oldest being 38. Linda is engaged to Wade (we all know the story about how Peter tried to marry Linda and Wade on the spot at the Xmas party) who has 4 children. She is currently the Branch Manager for Interior Savings and has worked for the Credit Union for almost 30 years . Her and Wade love to travel and are off to Italy in September 2013. She looks forward to retiring in 5 years and doing even more travelling.

Our club has had a great year of contributions! Some of our accomplishments to date:

Lobster on the Beach, Curling Event, 3rd Year Partnership with the Osoyoos Coyotes, 3rd Year Festival of the Trees, Coyotes Bursary for an athlete, Shelterbox, Concert Series Donation, Poppy Fund to the legion, and Youth Exchange (Tianna and Isa).

We all shared our Christmas plans which was entertaining and great to hear everyone is excited to spend time with family and celebrate.
