Celebrating the Success of the BBQs

"Both the Stampede Shaker and Oxford Stomp are now history. Despite tremendous difficulties, in my view they were both a success. The work of our volunteers was most impressive - the teamwork - the attention to detail - the tireless giving of time and effort shows the personal commitment of our membership and our friends." Bill Avery, President of the Rotary Club of Calgary, Downtown
