Happy Valentine's Day
Posted by James (Jim) Ferguson
Congratulations to PP Doug Dyer, and Johanne!
Johanne, and I were married on Feb 6 (my birthday is the 5th and Johanne's is the 7th).
It was a beautifully sunny day on the pier at Crescent Beach, near White Rock, B.C,. and we were warmed with lot's of love, and smiles.
Both Johanne and I were very honoured by the kindness of the members of our club that donated to Elly and Gord's beach clean-up in Mexico as a gift to us.
Gracious
Doug
Please note: If you wish to contribute a donation in honour of PP Doug and Johanne's wedding, please send an Interac transfer to Gord Lewis at gelbal@shaw.ca for his Rotary Manzanillo Beach Clean-up initiative.
Any amount is appreciated!

The Staff were too shy to be photographed, but extended their gratitude to the Rotary E-Club of Canada One.
We are working on another shipment of three boxes to an isolated community in the near future!

Need a Makeup?:
Need a Makeup?:
I would highly recommend visiting the Rotary E Club of Canada One if you need a makeup and can't make a "terra" meeting in your own area. You can visit their site here http://portal.clubrunner.ca/8529 Even if you don't need a makeup I would highly recommend visiting the site. There is a lot of great information about all kinds of things on the site. I quite often visit just to learn more about Rotary and the world as well as what is happening in the E-Club. Is your club Family Friendly? See the video on the E-club site this week, and don't forget to check out President Jim's Juke Box choice "It's only love with Bryan Adams and Tina Turner!
(WOW! Thanks Tim and Sally!)
