Our Russian exchange student Diana Savenkova gave us a presentation on her home town of Magadan where the average temperature in January is -16C and the average temperature in August is 12C. We heard about her family, her school and her community. Diana did a great job especially considering she arrived in September with little to no English.
Her current host family, the Stewarts, came to see the presentation and provide moral support.
Our club has been active doing a community needs assessment through meeting with multiple organizations and key people in the harbour. One of the needs identified was for a blood pressure machine and thermometer for our home care nurse. They need
accurate instruments since the readings can mean the difference between calling an ambulance or continued home care. We presented a check to Alan Skelley, Les Falk and Kim Harris from the health centre to fund a new blood pressure machine and thermometer.
Glen and Ian made two plywood Santas, cutting out the santa image and then painting them. One was put on the boat at the entrance to Maderia Park, the other by the real estate office.Mike Price presented the theme for the coming year "Making a Difference", talked a little of what to expect and then surprised everyone at the investiture by bringing in a cake to celebrate. It was a well attended event which included Mike's two sons and his daughter law there to witness his investiture. Jan Gisborne helped cut the cake and Mike presented her with a bottle of the Rotary Foundation wine as a thank you for coming down from Powell River for the event.
