Another Great year!

 

Members have put in a lot of hard work to raise funds through calendar sales, our annual art auction, our very well received Hop Scotch, our new format wine tasting, our April Tools Barbecue, the Annual Show & Shine, and our first participation in the two day Garlic Festival.

These funds have helped youth in our community through the provision of bursaries to students at Pender Harbour High School, the sending of  7 youths to the Rotary Youth Leadership Assembly, the provision of computers and software for special needs students at Pender Harbour High School and the sponsorship of Brianna Milligan as a Rotary Exchange student to Sweden. We are also hosting an exchange student from Taiwan. Dave Bradley again took the district exchange students on a BC tour and then back to his place on Sakinaw lake. We had a hike into the Skookumchuck for them on the Thursday and then hosted a farewell barbecue on the Friday. The students did all the cooking and provided great entertainment.

In addition we helped sponsor the Attack on Danger Bay Longboarding Races.

We have kept busy this year building picnic tables some of which we sell to fund the provision of tables to local parks.

A very successful initiative which brought the whole community together and found us working with Fisheries, local fisherman, community volunteers and the local Lions Club was the herring enhancement program.

Another successful project which was well supported by community volunteers was a salmon viewing platform at John Daly Park.

We have continued to support Rotary International’s Polio Plus campaign through our Hop Scotch fundraiser and through pennies for Polio jars located throughout the community. We have also supported international relief efforts including our own club fundraiser for the Japan earthquake.
