Innervisions Chili Lunch
Our Annual Innervisons Chili lunch was such a great success once again. We have been doing this for 22 years and every year is so special.
This year Danne, Gayle and I went to Thrifty’s to do the shopping and we were very speedy. Thanks to Thrifty’s for their donation of $500.00 and the bags that were packed with gifts for the men. We had so much was donated this year.....Lots of socks, toques lovingly made by Bill's Jackie,mugs, toothbrushes, toothpaste, pens, scarves made by May and umbrella's. Thank you to everyone who donated. You made many men very happy.
The men of Innervisons helped carry all the groceries and presents up the stairs and within moments the chopping started and the ground beef was cooking. Can’s were being opened and Bill of course was cleaning in the kitchen too.
We had Danne, chief cook, with Frank, Jim, Lee, John & Brian helping & Bill washing dishes all afternoon. Leslie and her daughter Nyah, Leslie W, set the tables & Gayle & I and put the presents together on the chairs. Great turnout…. All the guys chipped in to help make the chili the best ever.
The Chili was smelling so good by 11:00 and when the men came up at noon they were excited. Something these guys like the best is the ' Pies & Ice cream'. Thank you to Lee for going to get a couple of extra ones. We needed 6. We have some amazing ‘chefs’ in our Club and as Brian said ' we have a great team'. Thank you to everyone who came. It is so very rewarding and such a great way to start our Christmas Season.

Look at the Rotarians we saw and that support 'live Music' in Port Moody -
Marcus Mosley was a fantastic concert.
Our Rotary Club of Port Moody's Christmas party was a great success. So many members came and the food was a plenty. I guess when we said 5:30 start, the food went out. Thank you to all that came and a SPECIAL thanks to Trish and Ian for hosting. It was very fun. Good food and great company.
