WOW what a presentation by our Newport Village 'Little Butcher Shop' Taryn Barker
Taryn did an excellent job telling us who she is and how she got involved with 'butchering'
She is the President of Shop Local and a true entrepreneur who we are so fortunate to have right here in our community.
She started her business in 2012 with a partner and then in 2017 bought the business and has been on her own ever since. Taryn has travelled many places in the world looking to make her shop 'up to date' with that of Europe and Australia and New Zealand. She was on the Canadian Butcher Team and is looking to start a BC Butcher competition. With the amount of questions our Club had for her, I'm guessing more of our members will be shopping at "The Little Butcher' from now on.
Celebrating birthdays were Susan, Terry's better half , Mike C and Andy B
On zoom this week was Al S., Cleone, May and Michael B from Chilliwack ;o)
Ian gave a short presentation about what happened at the International meeting, and Glen showed the 'Congratulations' video that they did for the Prison inmates that have passed their exams.
Well done video..!!!!
Here are a few 'still' from that video
Marketing and Public image meeting and Board meeting was held at President Paul's. Lots of wine and the ideas were flowing !!!!
It was great to see Alistair, Rick & Bill there, along with Gayle, Neil, Susan, President Paul, and Linda.
It's a date !!!
October 28th.....Friday at 4:30 Parkside Brewery
Get in on the ground floor of a new tradition - Monthly happy hours with members of the 4 Rotary Clubs of the Tri-Cities - Port Coquitlam, Coquitlam, Coquitlam Sunrise and, of course, the Rotary Club of Port Moody.
Our first get together will be Friday, October 28 at 430 PM. The idea is that we will, over time, explore some of the many fine establishments in the area. We begin this month, at Parkside a place we all know and love...
Reconnect with our friends and colleagues in the other clubs.
Feel to bring some friends or colleagues, especially if they have an interest in Rotary.
I hope to see you there.

Just want to say Hi to a few members we haven't seen in awhile and want you to know we are thinking about you and miss you at our meetings. Alan K, Wolf, Patty, Steve W, Alistair & Steve G.
Let us know if there is anything we can do to help.....
Cleone & her gang organized a wonderful celebration 'Remembering Jeannie'.
We received this the next day from Cathy Morton
So after my run today, I picked up some litter along Bedwell Bay Road. I’d been thinking about Jeannie and what she said about feathers and dimes being a “sign” from her. I even said to her, in my head, OK Jeannie, if you’re out there, send me the sign.
And guess what I found?
I will keep it as a memento, and a reminder that there may be more to the universe than we realize.
Cathy
