It's show time!! The public service announcement that we did to encourage people to join our club is now ready and will be shown this Friday, Jan. 15th! Our District Simplified Grant of $1000 has been approved for our project to help Covenant House provide backpacks to homeless youth. We will be going there to do volunteer work with Langara Rotaract probably on Sat. Jan. 23rd. I will email everyone when it is confirmed. The Young Naturalists Club added us to their donor recognition on the inside cover of their NatureWild magazine that they publish for children. Our Langara Rotaract Club President Elect - Victor Tsang will be attending PETS in March in Seattle. What a great opportunity for him! We will be assisting the Kits Shower Program with equipment up to $1200 to help them serve breakfasts to the homeless on Saturday mornings. This Friday Jan. 15th we are sponsoring a night at the Vancouver Aquarium for critically ill children and their families. Rotarian Sunghee Lapell, her son Kaelim and husband Cory will attend. The next Voices of Nature concert will be held on Jan. 21st at the Norman Rothstein theatre. President Boris is working on a possible fundraising concert for the spring.
