Roger Gignac Induction

George Boucher said it was an honour to introduce Roger to the Club.  Roger had expressed an interest and had been introduced to Rod who became his sponsor.  Roger grew up on a farm in Lafontaine, part of a small family of 7 children who lived, for a while, in a log house and were close to the land.  He spent 30 years in Phsychiatric Nursing, retiring in 2001.  He started an involvement in Real Estate in 1993 and is now full time with Burns.

Rod thanked Roger for showing an interest and taking the initiative.  He said Rotary had been founded over 100 years ago to offer collective help to the community and has grown to include a fellowship that spans the world and includes 1.2 million members in over 30,000 Clubs.  The opportunities for service at home and abroad are focused on 4 areas and though the organization is devoted to service it is also an organization for enjoyment and fellowship.  He welcomed Roger and Kathleen to the world of Rotary.
