The June 30 meeting saw the Gavel and the presidency change from Allan Friesen to Kim Davis as we end one Rotary Year and start another on July 1.
This week the Bernie Carriere Legacy Award was one of the awards presented to deserving members (see body). Bernie was a great member showing leadership as club president, District Governor 2007-08, Rotary Foundation Coordinator (zone position) and a mentor to many. Unfortunately Bernie was taken by cancer in 2014 at the age of 59 but leaves a great legacy with our club.
Over the past 18 months we have funded another teachers duplex at the APU Malawi Girls School. History Teacher Nellie Phiri and family will occupy one half and Maxon Fowo, Biology Teacher and family will occupy the other. Housing is an important benefit at the school as there are 25+ teachers but only accommodation for 12-15 teachers on campus.
