The Rotary Club of Langley Central has been honoured recently to receive visiting Rotarians (and potential new ones) from India. Pictured above is member Dean Rohrs exchanging Club banners with Vaibhav Waghmare who is now a permanent resident of Langley. Vaibhav's parents are Rotarians in India and he has expressed interest in joining the nearest Rotaract Club or our Satellite Club. Also pictured is Prashant Sheode from the Rotary Club of Poona, India who we thoroughly enjoyed visiting with during our meeting. Rotary is found everywhere around the world and it is always rewarding to connect with those visiting or when travelling abroad.
The Langley City Volunteer Appreciation Dinner on March 12 was attended by Club members Lilianne Fuller (our Director of Public Relations) and Alexandre Fernandes (our Director of Service) who are pictured above with Mayor Nathan Pachal. The event celebrated our vibrant community and the volunteering spirit that thrives in so many. Of special note, Lilianne's book done with the Langley Field Naturalists titled, "On the Trail" was selected to be the gift to attendees at the event. A huge honour and recognition of their efforts. The Rotary Club of Langley salutes all the volunteers in Langley who give so much and make this a special place to live.

Rotary has been working to eradicate polio for more than 35 years. Our goal of ridding the world of this disease is closer than ever. It has been so successful over the years because people like John Aldag, Minister of Parliament and Langley Rotarian, have advocated the cause that has saved millions of lives worldwide. It was our great pleasure to honour John's efforts at the Rotary Langley Central Club meeting on Wednesday where he was a guest speaker for the day.
John finished his engaging talk on a wide variety topics and answered many questions with a wealth of knowledge and sincerity only to be surprised with a presentation of the rare PolioPlus Champion Award by former Rotary International Vice President, Dean Rohrs. Other dignitaries from Rotary including District Governor Elect Dave Duskin and Assistant District Governor Bev Dornan who added to the celebration. President Rudy Storteboom of the Rotary Club of Langley also presented John with a Paul Harris Award for his contributions to Rotary and service above self. Congratulations John and thank you so much for the wonderful work you do.
