Happy Valentines Day
 
 
Our Port Moody Police have asked us to please fill out this survey.  We are so very lucky to have our own Police Department and how closely they work with us for RIBFEST and with our whole community.
Please help the by filling out the survey and sending to them
Thank you.  This is the message I received from Constable Sam Zacharias
Port Moody Police Department is currently conducting a community survey to help shape our strategic priorities including the use of body-worn cameras.
 
Given that the PoMo Rotary does work with PMPD through the year and that many Rotary members are Port Moody residents, would you be able to pass along this survey link to your members? The survey will run now until the end of the month!

The sorting of clothes is done and thank you to all that came to help.  
Thanks everyone for joining with us this morning.  That was a lot of clothes to pack resulting in 14 boxes of women's clothing and 11 boxes of men's clothing.  In addition Trish took with her 1 box of winter clothing and 1 box children's clothing for distribution from Cross Roads.  We set aside 1 additional box of men's clothing for Belize.  
 
We start distribution locally, and then with remaining items look to the downtown east side.
