There were two equally deserving celebrations today:
OUR FIRST CELEBRATION today introduced us to Grade 12 student at St. Ignatius school Isabella Bosch who was the winner not only of the local Rotary 4-Way Test Essay Contest ($500 prize) but also the 5580 Rotary District grand prize winner ($1250 U.S.).
This is indeed cause for major celebration! Isabella was accompanied by her dad Richard, and read the essay to members and guests entitled "Consumerism." It was superb.
She spoke about how important it was to be thoughtful in your purchases, and to be kind to your neighbours and the environment by shopping local – and she showed clear links to the Rotary 4-Way Test. Keep your business and taxes local! She is pictured centre, flanked by two of the judges, Cynthia Judge (Ft. William Rotary Club) and Art Warwick (Port Arthur Rotary Club) on left and dad Richard Bosch with Past District Governor Roly Turner on the right (who graciously thanked Isabella Bosch).
Isabella Bosch is pictured alone beside a banner on the 4-Way Test. Congratulations and power to you going forward with these ideals.

OUR SECOND CELEBRATION today was introduced by Brian Walmark, Co-Chair of the successful Rotary Radio Day campaign which aired February 17, 2020. Brian introduced and thanked the many from the club as well as two important partners from Dougall media: Rosa Tucci-Maselj and Daryl Bolton, both with lengthy experience assisting our Club. This year, the goal of 546 ads was met (and topped by one!).
The group photo shows Rosa Tucci-Maselj at centre with Daryl Bolton just behind her to the right, along with some of the the major players in this year's campaign: including Brian Walmark and last year's chair Bill Ulakovic, team captains, ad selling winners, voicing chair, financial wizards, and more.
Dougall media announced they are raring to go again next year and want us to aim for even higher goals! Deepest thanks go to the whole team!
Pictured are Rotarians Jim McDonald (centre) with Warren Philp (left) and Art Warwick (right). Together these three between them sold an astounding 255 ads: a real testament to their dedication to the cause: Well done gentlemen!
