Kamloops West Thur Noon Rotary

We meet at the Chapters View Resturant to a lively and engaging group of Rotarians.  Once again the focus of the meeting was on the Foundation.  They also inducted 4 Rotarians to the family of Rotary.
The President was awarded the latest Paul Harris Fellowship. 
The club this year has contributed $30,000 Cdn to the Foundation and has 8 Paul Harris Society Members and numberous PH Fellows.  Was I preaching to the choir??? Indeed.
Even so, one member wrote a check to the Foundation and I won the drawing...with a donation that will be sent to the Rotary Foundation.. so doing good and having fun..RFAR.

They don't have any of these in Lousiana and he finds them interesting that they grow down.
Some kind of ornamental birch.

We were the program at the Northshore Community Center on Wednesday evening.  This club last year delivered 60,000 on the 8th annual local food drive.  The club on this meeting night recieve their portion of the fund raising proceeds from the last community wide Rotary Golf Tourney.  They provide club and individual support to the Rotary Foundation annually as part of the club operations.
President Jean and Rotarian Doug presents proceeds from the Tourney.

My program on my project was well recieved by Rotarians.  I was able to do the full program on the changes to future Foundation funding as will be in effect for all Rotary Clubs in  July 2013.  The process of program management and funding is changing as Rotary adjusts for future needs.

Kamloops Aurora Centennial

Tuesday morning at 7:00 for a meeting with Rotarians.. What energy..
This club impressed me by involving every Rotarian present in the club meeting.  I was again asked to to do the 5 minute "Impact RFAR Program".    I was well recieved and felt very welcome.
My project was recognized and I was wished well by many members.

The morning group provides a great fellowship breakfast and lots of laughter.  This club provided over +50, 000 lbs of food for the needy in the last year.  A real service to the community and the needs of those less fortunate. 
This club supports The Rotary Foundation and had documentation of promotion of the Foundation.  The club annually supports the Polio Plus Program and Annual Funds.  My request for additional support to the Foundation will be presented to the Executive Board.

Here is a picture Pres. Murray presenting me the Club Banner.
