Remembering Angie

When I joined Rotary 10 years ago my first impression of Angie was this friendly lady who returned pop and beer cans from her neighbourhood and donated the money to our Happy and Sad dollars.  As I got to know her better I saw her passion for doing things to help others.  She persisted until Rotary agreed to fund much needed washing machines for an orphanage in Kiev, Ukraine.  She travelled there on her own expense and brought back pictures for our members to see the children we helped. As I got to know Angie better we became roommates when we went to Rotary Conventions - Los Angeles, Kelowna and Victoria were we met the Lieutenant Governor.  She always brought smoked salmon canapes to our Rotary social functions and the last one she attended was no exception.  It was last Christmas and she was delighted to have the winning ticket on the Gingerbread house that Teddie made.  Everyone at Rotary will miss Angie very much.  She was definitely one of a kind and I am glad that she was in my life.
