Rotary Club of Kamloops Aurora Centennial held their installation and social of new club president Micheal Bowden on a picture perfect summer's evening at a member's home.Several members of the Aurora Rotary Club descended on Kenna Cartwright Park with bags in hand to pull Ragweed and several other invasive noxious weeds from the trail in their semi-annual cleanup. Shower and a check for ticks followed...along with a couple cool ones.
Members of the Rotary Club of Kamloops Aurora Centennial had fun playing in the mud at McQueen Lake Environmental Education Centre, building a boardwalk over a portion of a trail that was impassable due to a flowing stream cutting across its path. Congrats to the hardworking team. Rotary gets the job done!
The Rotary Club of Kamloops Aurora Centennial is proud to recognize Karen Sykes in receiving her 5th Paul Harris Pin with her latest contribution to The Rotary Foundation. Because of her generous donations, 4400 children were vaccinated for life to prevent the horrible disease of polio from afflicting them. Congratulations, Karen (Aurora President Stephen Karpuk presenting Karen with her latest Paul Harris Pin)

Today Rotarians came together to provide a hot meal to members of our community. The objective of the PIT Stop is very dear to our hearts. We thank the PIT Stop coordinator Rick for letting us be part of this. We had a great time!

No child should have to suffer from a vaccine-preventable disease. A polio-free world is possible, but we can achieve it only by taking action together. Join with @Rotary this #WorldPolioDay to @EndPolioNow: endpol.io/wpd
We are so grateful to everyone who supported our annual Spaghetti Western 2020 which this year looked a little bit different. Nevertheless, we saw many familiar faces and made many new friends.

Some members of our club participated in Spelling Bee, an organization that uses the funds to run community literacy programs such as Mother Goose, the Bright Red Book Bus and one-to-one tutoring for children and adults. The donations collected go toward Literacy in Kamloops and are then matched by the provincial government.

This year there is also an opportunity to participate in the virtual trivia night that will take place on Sept. 22 from 7 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. Teams of two to six players can enter online at decoda.ca. To play, each of a team's players must choose a community and make a donation. They will then receive an email with a Zoom video conference link and password.
