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.

We all felt the loss of Sharon Shore recently but no one felt it more than her family and loved ones. The Rotary Club of Langley is an extension of family and comes together in these challenging times. Our Club spent time remembering Sharon but felt it was important to pay tribute to her in a more permanent way. The membership pulled together to donate $5,000 (including one anonymous member donor of $1,000) to the Langley Hospice Society where Sharon spent her final day with family. Pictured above is husband and member, Steve Shore, with his daughters Dara and Alyssa who were on hand to present the cheque to Executive Director Shannon Todd Booth. Shannon will personally work with the family to make sure a fitting tribute to Sharon's memory will be done at the Society. Home - Langley Hospice Society
