Happy Birthday to Gerry & our newest member Melissa.
We have helped Mossom Creek for years now with our community grants and Rotary was invited to join them for their 10 Anniversary.  Pat Dennett called Gayle and asked her to join them for this celebration.  Gayle invited Joan to go with her which was wonderful as Joan had never been to Mossom Creek Hatchery before.
PP Al gave a Paul Harris +7 to Brian Wormald for his donation to Rotary International. Well deserved !!!
 
President Rick gave out some fun gifts again.....he really must think about our members all the time.
Peter our treasurer received an abacus in case power goes out ! 
 
Glen received a Hungry Hippo for all the work he does in Kenya
 
Neil received a gift of Neil's favourite comedians.
Susan received 'sand bags' for the corn hole game at the Rotary VIP tent at RIBFEST.

Most of us were blessed to have met Steve's Dad. Steve would bring his Dad to Rotary most every year for his Birthday and we would sing 'our song' to him.  Last April he turned 101 and on Friday June 13th, Steve's Dad passed on.  Steve we all are grateful to have met your Dad.  He was an inspiration to us all.  We send our love and condolences to you and your Sister.
