Classification x 2

Posted by Rick Taylor

Carmen Larsen and Morgan Roney are two of our new members and after the July 31st lunch was finished they completed their Classification Talks to the club members.

Carmen was raised in a Rotary family and in 1990/91 she was an exchange student from the Comox Valley area, going to Belgium. Travel and education have been a huge part of her life. She spoke about a degree in Education, working in China with the gold mining industry, moving to Vancouver and working with the United Way and the Big Sisters program, and later returning to school to obtain a medical degree. She is now happy to be settled in Vernon and being re-connected to a Rotary Club.

Morgan works in the I.T. software construction industry and also spoke about a life of travel and education. He started in rural Saskatchewan, spent time in northern B.C., visited Spain and apparently due to a female influence ended up staying about 4 years longer than intended, went to New York and later ended up in Calgary long enough to become a 'Rider's Fan'. He also mentioned trips to Cuba, Africa (which included climbing Mount Kilimanjaro with his parents) and doing the Machu Picchu trek in Peru.

Welcome to Kal Rotary. Your enthusiasm and desire to be involved with this club and it's many programs was very obvious.
