I am grateful for our Family & Friends. May God continue to Bless you all each and every day. I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving.
PAG Darrell presented PP & PAG Al a Paul Harris + 6.
Well deserved Al, for all the work he does for our Rotary Club. When Al was an Assistant Governor [AG] he made it his mission to get the 5 Rotary Clubs to get to know each other and to help out with each others fundraisers and events. Al along with Glen head up the Belize International Grant. We really need help with this years grant as we are falling behind. This is so important for the country of Belize and the children..
Al does some of the IT 'stuff' for our Rotary Club and next week will be showing everyone how to use the Club Runner App.
Al comes to all our events, when he is not travelling the world, he is a good listener and has a common sense mind and is a true Rotarian. Congratulations !!!!

Clayton will be one of our Guest Speakers & is very knowledgable on this subject.
4. Promote other environmental groups activities on our website/club runner
5. Get as many partnerships as we can involved
6. If you have a passion for this Avenue of Service, please join the committee and give your ideas to all.
Think positive thoughts for Lauralea and Steve as they go through this chapter of their lives. Lauralea is a trooper !!!!
Also please keep PP Paul's Dad in your thoughts and prayers. He has been through a lot and the Drs. are doing what they can to help him.
Paul is struggling with his own health so we will send him positive healing thoughts too.
They did it !!!!! Well done. We are all so proud of Trish & Ian and can't wait to hear the stories of their adventures.
