 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.

 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.

SASSY (Service Above Self Stude  nt Youth) is a Program that recognizes and celebrates the incredible Youth in the Langley community. SASSY seeks to reward Langley students who have excelled in demonstrating outstanding leadership skills in school and/or the community. A joint venture of the four Rotary Clubs in Langley, the SASSY Program has awarded $87,000.00 in bursaries to deserving Langley students since its inception six years ago. This year, 37 exceptional young people applied for the honour of being SASSY recipients. 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.

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

Gold Medal Olympian Lisa Roman, a member of Team Canada's Women's Eight Rowing team at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics, charmed and delighted Aldergrove Rotary members with her 50-minute address describing her eleven year run up to the Gold Medal podium moment at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics. No stranger to competition, Lisa, who stands just under six feet tall has always had to overcome the fact that she was relatively short to be a rower. But she hasn’t let that deter her from her Olympic dream that was sparked when she made the national U23 team and won gold with the eight at the 2011 U23 World Championships.

As part of our efforts to help people in need during the COVIT-19 pandemic crisis, we are happy to be able to partner with the Aldergrove Food Bank to provide grocery gift cards to local families experiencing additional hardships during this challenging time. The dollar value of these cards, $1,500.00, represents a portion of a donation that The Rotary Club of Aldergrove is making to the Aldergrove Food Bank. The rest will be available in a few weeks. These cards are part of a matching grant that we applied for and were granted from the Rotary International District 5050 Special Fund.

It was with regret that  the RibFest Langley Organizing Committee voted to cancel RibFest 2020 due to concerns related to the COVID-19 pandemic. Stating that it was inappropriate at this time to ask RibFest sponsors to confirm their financial support, Jeff Morfitt, who chaired the successful entry-free family event for its first two years, said the other consideration for cancellation was the uncertainty that guests would feel comfortable attending the crowded venue at this time. In spite of the loss of anticipated revenue from RibFest 2020 , (last year RibFest raised $150,000 to support local projects,) RibFest's continued support in local communities this year includes providing financial assistance to help keep the Starfish Backpack programs operational, donating to the new Langley Hospice, and giving 3,400 pairs of latex gloves to Inclusion Langley and Fraser Health. Organizers have reached out to sponsors, suppliers, entertainers, ribbers and volunteers with this unfortunate news, offering thanks for their past involvement and best wishes that they continue to be safe. Jeff Morfitt confirmed that RibFest Langley 2021 is on the drawing boards, tentatively set for August 13-15, 2021, and said he is looking forward to re-kindling RibFest's partnerships with so many excellent organizations and people.

In spite of the fact that the schools are closed and Aldergrove Starfish students can't pick up their backpacks of nutritious food for the weekend every Friday, the Program continues -- just in a different way. The Aldergrove Rotary Club has donated $8,000. to the Langley School District Foundation, whose executive director Susan Cairns is coordinating a gift card program to address the ongoing need. Starfish families will receive $50 in gift cards to Save-On Foods and Otter Co-op each week until the end of school closure, possibly til the end of the school year. "We are grateful to the many donors who have supported this Program over the past five years and whose generous donations have made it possible for us to continue helping the Starfish families during the many challenges brought about by COVID-19," said Charlie Fox, the club's Starfish coordinator. Donations can be made online at starfishpack.com by clicking the "donate" button and selecting "Aldergrove."

Teeth care kits for Aldergrove Starfish food packsACSS Student places dental kit into Starfish Backpacks KURT LANGMANN Sep. 14, 2017 1:30 p.m. Dental hygiene packages from Dr. Vohra’s Aldergrove Family and Cosmetic Dentistry office are now being included in the Starfish Backpacks provided to Aldergrove students. Fifty backpacks currently provide weekend food for hungry kids in three Aldergrove schools: Parkside and Shortreed elementary schools and Betty Gilbert middle school. The Starfish program is supported by donors who provide funds and goods to the Aldergrove Rotary Club. Aldergrove Rotarians founded it two years ago, and continue to operate and organize teams of volunteers for the Starfish Backpacks. This program will be expanded to North Otter Elementary School this year. An additional ten Starfish Backpacks are being funded, with help from the Jazz Airline Pilots Association.

Thanks to their donations, the Aldergrove Starfish Backpack Program is able to provide food for 50 hungry kids in three local schools with weekend food for the current September-to- June school year. At the Pasta Party over 100 people paid $20.00 each for a delicious Italian meal that was generously provided and prepared by Carlo Bonetti, owner of Bonetti Meats. Along with even more individual donations, silent and live auction activities added to the evening’s proceeds (and fun). At time of writing, the total income from the pasta party is $6,000.00 and climbing. Proceeds will be used to support hungry kids during the 2016-2017 school year. The cost to provide a Starfish Backpack full of weekend food for one child for one school year is $525.00. For more information on the Starfish Backpack Program and for details on how you can help feed hungry kids on weekends, visit www.aldergrovestarfish.ca

The Aldergrove Starfish Backpack Program has not only been continued for the 2015/2016 school year. It has been expanded. There are 30 more backpacks than last year and one more school has been added to the program. Now 50 backpacks are being given out every Friday. Twenty kids at Parkside and Shortreed Elementary Schools and 10 at Betty Gilbert Middle School are not hungry on weekends now.

We could never learn to be brave and patient, if there were only joy in the world.
