Attractive lease spaces may become available in the Kimberley Health Care Centre
Our online Guest Speaker at the January 20th Rotary meeting was Wayne Keiver who manages the Kimberley Health Centre for the Kimberley Health Care Society.
Wayne explained that the Kimberley Health Centre, formerly the Kimberley and District Hospital, is owned by the Kimberley Health Care Society who are responsible for the operation of the facility and all capital improvements and replacements. Wayne pointed out that the building is sound and has a number of excellent sites that would be ideal for a number of uses. The Upper Floor of the building is presently totally vacant, also there are available spaces on the bottom floor. The main floor is presently a busy area with a number of Interior Health facilities and office for our local doctors. In order to attract businesses to a multitude of lease spaces a number of upgrades are needed to bring the upper floor into compliance with current building codes. Leasing these spaces will help provide a revenue stream that would ensure the long-term viability of the Centre. Work needed includes a new HVAC system, a sprinkler system, radon gas mitigation work, elevator repairs and more. The Health Care Society is presently working with the City and a funding grant the Society has been granted to start the renovations.
The Kimberley Health Care Society is presently looking for a few people who would be interested in joining the Health Care Society Board. Here is an opportunity to help give back to your community by becoming a member of the "Kimberley Health Care Society". "One of the greatest gifts you can give is your time". If interested, contact one of the following Board members:
Barrie Peterson, chairman, at judybarriepeterson@gmail.com
Kent Goodwin, director, at jkgoodwin@shaw.ca.

One of the highlights of the meeting was the presentation of two Paul Harris medals. One to Helga Logan (PH+1) and one to Jaret Thompson (PH+5). These medals signify the generous donations made by these members to the Rotary Foundation. The mission of the Rotary Foundation is to advance world understanding, goodwill and peace through improvements in health, support of education and alleviation of poverty.
A month or so ago, it was announced that the Kimberley Rotary Club’s application to participate in the above Pilot Program was approved by Rotary International. We are one of only 200 Rotary Clubs world-wide whose plan received approval, 1,300 applied.
This pilot is primarily about membership. Trying new things to make our club more attractive to prospective members and at the same time keep current members engaged. Our prime objective for initiating this Pilot Program is to attract and retain members.
On July 18, 2011 your Board approved two major changes for Kimberley Rotary that will provide members increased flexibility for experiencing fellowship at our meetings.

On behalf of the Rotary District 5080 Rotaplast Committee, I am writing to let your club in on the fact that we are working to support another Rotaplast mission in the coming months. In fact, last week District 5080’s grant committee awarded this project funds through a District Simplified Grant; in addition some club support has been received in the form of pledges. As such, we would like to get Kimberley involved this year. Attached are details about the mission to share with your members. This mission is coming up quickly.
