The Gift of Christmas
The Gift of Christmas
Again this year, the BEL club had the honour of bringing the "Gift of Christmas" to local families.  With the support of Scott Concrete Supplies and John's Independent families received the makings of a festive dinner (with all the trimmings and extra treats) and toys, games, clothing and books suitable to the interests and ages of the children.  The response was overwhelming.  In the words of one recipient "This is beyond my wildest dreams.  We an unexpected tragedy this year and wondered how we would get through the season.  Thank you!"
BEL Christmas Spirit
BEL Christmas Spirit
In true BEL Rotary spirit, the club gathered and enjoyed friendship, fellowship and in the process raised money for Polio eradication, at the club's annual Christmas get together.  The spirit of the season will also be extended to those in our community who are less fortunate and have experienced unexpected difficulty and tragedy in the Adopt a Family Christmas program.
Adventure in High Tech
Adventure in High Tech
One of Rotary’s goals is to provide opportunities for youth to participate in programs to raise their awareness of different vocations and career opportunities.  BEL Rotary sponsored two students to the Adventures in High Tech program.  Lucas Wall and Batool Kazmi spent two days with facilitators from different businesses and educational institutions who described unique and different ways they use technology in their day to day work.  Sessions included 3 – D printing in manufacturing, self driving garbage trucks and detecting and removing pathogens from waste water.   Presenters described how they had taken many twists and turns in their careers and that the amazing opportunities ahead.
 
Both students described how the weekend helped them get a better picture of opportunities in the high tech field and helped define their own aspirations and possible career paths.
