In November we got to know "Something About Mary" and in December we got to know more about Janice!
President Lorraine gives our Club's $10,000 donation to this year's campaign. That money pays for all the protein vouchers that go into all the hampers.
Rotarians win! Mary & her team at Mint Home Health Pharmacy won the Outstanding Customer Service award and Murray Kulak won the first annual Gerry Levasseur Community Champion award!
At the Town's Remembrance Day Ceremony Town Councilor and Rotarian Harold Pawlechko placed a wreath on behalf of the Rotary Club of Stony Plain.
With June 30 marking the end of the 2017-18 Rotary Year a new executive took the reins and end of year awards were handed out. Incoming President Wally Ross has been given the Rotary slogan "Be the Inspiration" to help guide his year. Exciting times ahead for Rotary!

Rotary Christmas with Santa this morning. Thank you for all the Rotarians who brought their kids and their grand kids to see Santa and get a little gift. Great turnout!
Thank you to Amy Quintal and Alison Ainsworth from the Cohesive Community Foundation for attending our meeting this morning and sharing their passion for creating a more inclusive environment for families who have kids with special challenges. The programs and support that they provide means the world to a lot of people. You both deserve recognition for your tireless efforts and you truly personify Rotary's moto "Service Above Self". Oh ... and we suspect that you're pretty great moms too!
We received picture and hand colored note from the students at Forest Green School, thanking us for our donation to the playground project. We contributed $2000 and it looks like it turned out great!

A big thank you to Barb Furler and Veronica Kong from CAMTA (Canadian Association of Medical Teams Abroad) for coming to talk to our Club this morning. This Edmonton based organization takes a group of volunteer health care professionals to Ecuador to perform life changing medical procedures on the poorest of the poor. They really do change lives! I encourage you to read more about their mission and donate if you can. Each mission costs about a half million dollars and relies, in part, on fundraising and donations. https://camta.com/
A highlight of hosting an exchange student is getting the chance to hear about their home country and to exchange club flags. At the October 25, 2017 meeting, Isabel Meulenberg from the Netherlands shared her story. Pictured: Club Flag exchange from Isabel to President Guy Belland and Youth Exchange Director Jason Svenningsen.
For 2017, the club and guests enjoyed the beautiful new Heritage Park facility and a new Oktoberfest theme for our fundraising event. This year we focused on fundraising for the Family Connections Centre and the garden bed project. We were sold out and attendees enjoyed an excellent meal by Premium Catering and were lured into raising their bids by auctioneer Victor Moroz. As always a very big thank you to our sponsors, donors of live and silent auction items and the volunteers who made the event a success.
