Welcome from Wayne: Our Rotary theme this year is Rotary Connects the World. Last week we learned more about each other, and tonight we’ll hear how we can connect with a lot of people this summer.
Our guest speaker was Jeff Morfitt talking about Ribfest. In two years Ribfest has grown to be the largest fundraiser for any of the four Langley Rotary clubs. We netted about $60 000 in the first year, a fantastic start. Last year we made over $150 000, achieving much more than originally hoped for. We anticipate at least matching last year’s total, and would like to emphasize the family nature of the event. We will again have a site-wide license for beverages, and want to encourage families to enjoy the stage performers. We will need more volunteers, and Rotarians are requested to work as many shifts as possible.
We collected happy and sad dollars for Polio Plus, closed with a toast to Canada, and followed that with an executive meeting.
