Rotary Club of Aldergrove Charter Party 34 March 2 2024
Langley Township helps support Langley Meals on Wheels (LMOW)
 
Thanks to a grant from the Langley Township, we were able to provide 40 insulated bags to Langley Meals on Wheels for their Meals on Foot program. Through a partnership with Langley School District #35, this LMOW intergenerational program includes a team of local elementary school students who work with their teacher to deliver meals connect with LMOW clients and receive a free meal themselves. Thanks TOL for helping make this worthwhile project possible.  
 

 
Rick Davis, the new Chairperson of RibFest Langley,  rallied the troops at Aldergrove Rotary's breakfast meeting February 3rd. Enthusiastically describing new and innovative plans for 2023, Rick fielded questions from the event's seasoned volunteers and elicited support for the up-coming event. Promising to be even bigger and better than before, RibFest Langley offers a weekend of admission-free family fun with music, kids zone, delicious Bar-B-Q ribs and craft beer.  RibFest Langley is hosted by Langley's four Rotary Clubs at McLeod Park from August 18-20.
 
Thanking him, Janet Ingram-Johnson presented Rick with the "coveted" Aldergrove Rotary Club coffee mug. 
 Volunteers from the Aldergrove Rotary Club Starfish Backpack Program receive a cheque for $14,000.  The exceedingly generous donation came from proceeds from the Thank You for Caring Langley Christmas Tea, a community event created by the late Debbie Froese, who was the wife of Langley Township's mayor Jack Froese. Originally called The Mayors Wives' Tea, the annual Christmas celebration was designed to benefit the local Christmas Bureau and other charities. In 2019 the name was changed to expand the organization's reach and help more families in need.  On behalf of the 84 Aldergrove students from families in need, who are taking home nutritious and easy-to-prepare Starfish Backpack meals, THANK YOU for Caring.
 The holidays got warmer again this year as 65 toques and scarves, hand-knit by Carol Metcalfe and friends, were included in the Starfish backpacks this week. This is the fourth year that the knitting elves dedicated their spare time to helping Aldergrove kids in need weather the cold. 
 
Many thanks to Carol's group and to the hairdressing students at Aldergrove Senior Secondary for adding the special gifts to the holiday packs. 
Thanks to Dr. Lana Vohra - Aldergrove Smiles, students receiving the first Starfish Backpack of the new school year went home with gift bags of new toothbrushes and toothpaste. The hairdressing students from Aldergrove Secondary School were back on the job in September, volunteering to fill the 70 backpacks needed by Aldergrove families in need this school year.
 
Thank you so much Dr. Vohra for your continued support.  And thanks too to the hairdressing volunteers.
