May 17th - Rotary International Day of Giving - Tamarak Terrace - Landscaping
On 17 May 2025, Rotary Clubs throughout District 5050 come together for this year's EPIC Day of Service, a global movement dedicated to making a positive impact through hands-on service projects. In our district, which serves NW Washington and Fraser River Valley, BC alone, 32 Rotary Clubs will mobilize thousands of volunteers to address critical needs in their communities.
Gayle spoke about our Little Lending Library which seems that someone is coming and taking 'all' the books out rather than Take one Leave one.
We will put up a sign to monitor this as it is frustrating that someone may be taking to sell them or?
