A Blessed Family at Christmas
Thank you so much to Rob Wells for initiating and doing all the leg work so a wonderful mother of 4 boys staying at Interval House could enjoy some happy moments this Christmas.  
Our Club contributed $1000 for the purchase many essential items including warm clothing as well as some Christmas gifts for the whole family.
On behalf of the Social Committee, Tina reported that Interval House was truly grateful when Rob dropped off all the gifts.
Thank you Rob for spearheading this important initiative.
 
 
Welcome Celine Legret!!!
This week we are thrilled to officially welcome Celine Legret into our Club.  Celine, a long-time Rotarian requested a transfer from the Rotary Club of Canada AM to make it easier for her to participate in Club meetings and activities. For the holidays, she is heading home to France to be with her family.
