Thank you to Greg Stevenson and his Volunteers for hosting the Feed the Homeless Dinner
The Feed the Homeless Dinner was hosted by the Club on October 19, 2017 at the Calgary Drop In Centre.  It was a very fun event! We served up about 3,500 meals to Calgary’s most needy.  Volunteers served the meals as well as helped prepare them.  The meals were good quality and nutritional. Facility tours were given to those that were interested.  They were quiet an eye opener.
Thank you to our COG Sponsor Rotarian Paul Chave & National Bank Financial
Thank you to the Major Donations Committee from Meals on Wheels
Meals on Wheels gratefully acknowledged the donation from the Major Donations Committee.  This donation along with a donation from the Burns Memorial Fund allowed then to purchase another van to serve more students each week.
