This week’s meeting was a wonderful reminder of the power of community, generosity, and service.
Our guests were: Marcela, Bruce, Brooke, Chris, and Ben & family.
Congratulations to our Ribfest 50/50 Grand Prize Winners! A local family took home an incredible $32,327.50! The other half of the 50/50 fundraiser continues to support food security projects in our community through the Tri-City Rotary Clubs. What a true win-win for everyone!
Giving Back Locally and Globally, our club was proud to present several contributions supporting meaningful causes:
- $25,011 donated to Camp Jubilee, helping provide life-changing camp experiences for children who may not otherwise have the opportunity.
- $500 donated to Meadow Ridge Rotary-supported project in South Africa.
- $500 contributed to the Amanda Todd Legacy, supporting students through educational opportunities.
- $9,021.89 presented to Bruce, President of the Rotary Club of Coquitlam for their share of the proceeds from the Pop Hut at last month's Port Moody Rotary Ribfest.
- $7,152.40 presented to Chris & Brooke, Rotary Club of Coquitlam in support of Santa Margarita School Project, an international education project in Uruguay who were also our guest speakers for this week’s talk.
One of our members summed up the impact of these donations perfectly: “Rotary is about doing good in our community and around the world, and seeing the difference we can make when we work together.” beautifully said.
We were delighted to welcome guest speakers and Past Presidents Chris and Brooke from the Rotary Coquitlam Lunch Club, who shared their passion for the Santa Margarita School Project.
- The project will transform unused space into new classrooms and washroom facilities, creating safer and more supportive learning environments for children living in a community facing significant challenges.
- The school not only provides education, but also meals, family support, and opportunities that help young people build brighter futures.
Chris & Brooke, your presentation beautifully reflects Rotary values of compassion, education, inclusion, and service above self. We thank you for your team’s dedication and wish you every success as this project moves forward.
And Chris won the wine draw this week, proving that nothing brings Rotarians together quite like a fine beverage!
Thank you to everyone who continues to contribute their time, talents, and generosity.
Together, we are creating lasting impact, one project and one act of kindness at a time.
