Our stories
 
Cheer On The Pier was another successful event this year - great job to everyone who helped organize, serve hot chocolate, collected donations, and worked in the tent keeping it all running!
It's a beautiful thing when we all work together for a wonderful cause - the SHARE Food Bank. 
 
A great turnout from our club for the annual Tri-Cities Christmas Breakfast.  Thank you to Coquitlam club, this year's host.
We feasted on a lovely breakfast buffet and each club’s president talked about their club’s events this year.
President Alison spoke on the many projects that we completed this year and the ones currently in progress. 
Alison also presented cheques to the Coquitlam Sunrise club for their Ecuador project and to the Coquitlam Club for their Peru project and their proceeds from the Pop Hut at Ribfest.
 
 
We were also entertained at breakfast by Carlene who sang us beautiful Christmas carols.
 
Lots of fun at the Eagle Ridge Manor Christmas Party last Friday. A Big Thank You to all the Rotary volunteers who worked to organize and serve cake and refreshments  - Santa joined in on the fun giving out good cheer to all the residents!
 
A big Thank You to Linda & George who hosted our rowdy Rotary bunch for our Christmas potluck party.  And Thank You to President Alison for organizing the gift exchange - a lively, spirited game of choosing, opening, and stealing presents!  Not only did Alison organize all this but she brought all the gifts for the exchange.  
Could this be the start of a fun, new Rotary Christmas Party tradition for our club? 
 
While our club was partying, Glen & Marcia were enjoying their vacation in the amazing jungles of Costa Rica!

    Welcome back Ian!
     
     
    You’ve shown all of us that hope is so much stronger than fear, You are a true inspiration Steve - your strength, positive spirit, and courage amazes all of us!
     
     
    On a holiday back to their home country in South Africa, Andy & Yvonne along with Michael, Andy’s brother , they stopped over at their childhood fishing village, St Helena Bay. On this visit they discovered that a former village shop had been turned into Eiland Huis - The Island House, a care facility home where a man, his severely handicapped daughter and individuals with severe crippling disabilities resided.
     
    Most residents could not speak or feed themselves, some were fed through tubes and/or were blind. Each had their own wheelchair, tailored to fit their bodies and prevent them falling out.
     
    After many discussions over the next two years working to reconcile the Eiland Huis needs with Rotary goals and funding limits, decisions on the scope and funding of the project were finalized. In 2025, many changes have been done including Power Interruption backup batteries and inverter, a new security fence around the rear of the property, air conditioners, and new medical equipment.  A training program was also completed.

    Donations came from many Rotary clubs including The local Rotary club in South Africa, Melkbos, Rotary Club of Port Moody, Rotary Club of Coquitlam, District 5050 Passport Club, and Rotary Club of Middleton, Nova Scotia.
