ROTARIANS STEP UP
Bill Lawless is a Rotarian with the Rotary Club of Calgary West who volunteers with his club to sort food at CKP.
"They let us know shortly after it was stolen so I immediately put together a communication to other clubs and asked who's interested," he said. "We were able to generate 11 of our 12 clubs here in Calgary to put money towards the purchase of the truck."
Lawless says all the Calgary clubs generate more than $2,000,000 annually for local charities. For this project they were able to raise a third of the purchase price of the new truck for CKP.
"All Rotarians like to believe that we're building a better world through what we do in each club," said Lawless. "It's a huge organization of 1.2 million members worldwide - over 30,000 clubs - but we're a service club and our motto is service above self."
