We recently gathered at Marion Henny's beautiful home overlooking Useless Bay for our annual District Governor Visit. We gathered and enjoyed lively conversation over drinks and hors d'oeuvres before enjoying a wonderful meal prepared by Gordy and Sharon Edberg.

District Governor Bill Robson gave a great speech regarding his outlook of what the role of a District Governor actually is and expressed his desire for any member of our club to contact him directly with any problem we can't handle internally. Bill spoke at length regarding the current status of Rotary's Polio eradication efforts. We are, in fact closer to eradicating polio worldwide than we ever have been before. Bill was overjoyed to present Doug Coutts with a Paul Harris Fellowship as well as his own "First Class" Rotarian award. Ed Halloran also received the First Class award.

After Bill's speech, Lyn spoke at length regarding the positive effect our club has had on local and global communities through our club service. For such a young club, we have indeed made an amazing impact in a short time.

Special thanks to Marion and George Henny as well and Gordy and Sharon Edberg for making this event possible.
