Kamloops Rotary

On Monday we visited the Kamloops Rotary Club, Downtown.   I was able to present of 5 minutes my abreviated Mission Project for the Rotary Foundation.  The club had a Foundation presentation that worked nicely with my overview. 
The Club has sponsored with District and Rotary International a $34000 Economic & Community Development Project in Armenia to help the earthquake devistated area from 2008.  The club supports the project with $8500 on a Global / District Grant.  The photo are the club members that explained the  project and program of the area to be helped.

Rotarians... "Doing the Busines of Doing Good!"  RFAR

Kamloops... we are here.

The road between Cache Creek and Kamloops BC is very scenic with high hills, almost mountains and sweeping valleys. Rivers winding and pristine lakes with big view.  It is big sky country.

Weather has been overcast but not on the cold side. Over the last 2 weeks we have experienced 2 days of wet... not really rain like I know it... just wet pavement.  They call that rain in this part of the continent.  British Columbia, is wow.

AND

Cache Creek and on..to Kamloops

We left 100 Mile and wanted to take a side route on Highway 24.. but missed the turnoff.  Boo on me.
I was trying to be very vigilant about deer on the roadway.  We ended up in Clinton.

Then on to Cache Creek and a coffee stop.  Sorry will miss the CC Rotary Club as we move on to Kamloops, BC

Kamloops is at the end of the lake.  Kamloops Lake of course.  Beautiful country.

The remains of the day... Nap time!  We are in Kamloops BC.

100 Mile BC

We road to 100 Mile BC,  joined by Rotarian John on a BMW GS800 with only 300 miles on the clock.

We stopped at a famous Cariboo rest spot and captured the moment.

Later met with Rotarians at a local resturaunt.  Everyone has been so kind and supportive.
100 Mile like RFAR!  Thanks Daryl and Rick.

Williams Lake a Jewel in the hills.

RFAR was graciously well comed at Williams Lake.  I presented to a group of interested Rotarians in a beautiful private home.  The wood work was captivating.

View speaks for it's self.

And true blue Rotarians......

Williams Lake likes RFAR!

Quesnel, a french boy's name.

We arrived in Quesnel and attended the regular meeting at the Legion Hall. We were greated by the incoming District Governor Rebecca.  Great Lunch, good fellowship and the Club was interested and supportive.

Prince George, The Capitol of the North

That is what the sign says.. we rode the 80 some miles from Vanderhoof, (the geographical center of BC) to Prince George in spring sunshine.  One coyote munching on road kill was spotted.
Met up with the PG Rotary Downtown Club and enjoyed fellowship and information that the really do support the Foundation.. so far $15000 this year.  
What do they say... you don't ask and you don't get.   My brash self asked anyway..  I got a token.. so better than nothing. and I congratulate the club for its success in raising funds and supporting my ideals.  The club has numerous PHF and PHS members. 
So, I was preaching to the Choir, so to speak.
Tomarrow, I present to the Morning Club at 7am.
