Jayne Pilot
I am honored to have been selected as Aldergrove Rotary’s President for 2022-2023.
This is a very exciting time for Rotary as our International President, Jennifer Jones is asking us all “to dream big”. I’d like to share her vision to “imagine a world that deserves our best, where we get up each day knowing that we can make a difference”. I believe each one of our members has the 3 Cs to build on our dreams. “Concerns” for community; “Connections” to make things happen and “Commitment” to act. Aldergrove is in an agriculture zone and I believe together we can support many worthwhile projects tied with food for those in need, due to the rising costs of food and
transportation.
I look to Rotary members sharing ideas about our areas of focus to establish projects as “together we can make a difference” in our community & our world. I hope at the end of my term, that we as members have had a year of fun and fellowship, and that we feel good about what we dreamt about (our vision) and what we were able to act on.
Rotary International Elects Canadian Rotarian Jennifer Jones
First Woman President in History!
Jennifer is the Founder and President of Media Street Productions Inc., a 25-year-old, award-winning media company in Windsor, Ontario. She is a proud member of the Rotary Club of Windsor-Roseland.
Her talents have strengthened Rotary reach and impact, through many roles including as Trustee of the Rotary Foundation, RI Vice President, and co-chair of the End Polio Now: Make History Today campaign, raising funds alongside Bill and Melinda Gates and their Foundation.
Jennifer is a leader in cultivating “experiential fundraising” opportunities such as Rotary’s Polio Golf Day with Jack Nicklaus in Jupiter, Florida, USA, which raised over $5.25 million for polio eradication in one day, and the innovative, virtual COVID-19 #RotaryResponds event that raised money for COVID-19 relief projects and showcased Rotary’s response across the globe.
Working alongside political figures, celebrities and global leaders, she uses her voice to raise awareness and hundreds of millions of dollars to eradicate disease, support peace and provide clean water and sanitation in developing areas of the world. Her skill as an expert storyteller inspires hope and promise and motivates people to take action.
She has received many honors and recognitions including Rotary’s Service above Self Award and the Citation for Meritorious Service, the YMCA Peace Medallion, the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Medal, and Wayne State University’s Peacemaker of the Year Award – a first for a Canadian.
Jennifer is married to Rotarian Nick Krayacich, a local family physician. They share a love for many activities including travel, cycling, golf and relaxing at their family cottage; and they share a thirst for adventure, which has included cresting the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania, Africa.
Meals on Wheels is over the moon at the prospect of being able to harvest fresh home-grown veggies right at their new location, the site of the former Milsean Shoppe on 272nd Street. Members of Aldergrove Rotary Club arranged the work parties that saw Meals on Wheels’ front entrance transformed into an array of garden boxes designed to add delicious fresh produce to the meals their kitchen prepares.Rushing to get planted in time for this summer’s season, Rotary volunteers pitched in to make this happen. First, the site was prepared with the expertise of Jason Froese’s prowess at the controls of his mini-excavator, and Robby Robinson who contributed a load of crushed gravel to level the area.

On Friday May 27th, the club welcomed three of this year's SASSY Award Winners who described their SASSY experience, telling us of their leadership activities in the community and in their schools. Our guest speakers (L-R) were: Cassidy Buchanan, an Aldergrove resident attending the Brookswoods Soccer Academy; Evan Dyce also an Aldergrove resident, who is attending ACSS, and Daniel Lee from Walnut Grove
It was a pleasure to meet three such accomplished young people with such promising futures.

Again this year, a few keen honorary and club members gathered early on a Sunday morning to install then remove the festive Christmas lights that brighten up Aldergrove's main street every December.
A real team effort, our thanks go to the Township of Langley Fire Department for the traffic control, Asplundh’s Tree Service who provide the bucket truck, and Gus for his pick up and trailer. Oh yes - and JD Farms for storing the lights.
Packing up the festivities for another year are
Bruce, Bill, Doug, Gus, Janet, Charlie and George
