There were a total of 10 Integrity Awards presented by Edmonton area clubs and John certainly stood out as a very worthy recipient. John's brief bio is included in the Read More area.

Rotary visits Stars

On Thursday, November 22nd, our regular meeting was moved across the airport property to the STARS hanger. We had a great turnout and not a single person was disappointed with the visit. We had a wonderful breakfast in the Stars meeting room and a great presentation by Stars Director of Events, Sheyanne. A tour of the facility followed with everyone totally amazed at the equipment they have and training that these folks continually go through. If you missed this meeting you missed a very special occasion. Hope we can do it again some time. Photos courtesy of Stuart. Breakfast catered by Square One. This great day arranged by Marilyn. Thanks to all and a special big thank you to staff at Stars.
