An evening to remember at the Lynwood Art Centre ...
Surrounded by the talent of local artist Bruce Steinhoff, we celebrated our 27th birthday in style - chartered on 16 May 1996 and still going strong.
To mark the occasion, it was decided to focus on our own; in particular long-serving members as well as those making such a difference as they continue to offer 'Service before Self'.
Following a brief introduction to the evening's events, Gail Catherwood entertained us with several 'mini-wheat' presentations.
Assistant Governor Keith Jones recognized Lionel Ulrich, Rudi Atkinson and John Wallace for their continuing generosity to the Rotary Foundation, as did District Governor Lisa Bishop in respect of Keith Jones' own support. Jim Simpson presented a Paul Harris award to our own Joanne Kiefer. See the two separate, companion stories for details about these Paul Harris awards.
President Louise recognized Charter Members Peter Wheatley, Jim Peters and John Wallace for their long-term and continuing service.
With the member recognition concluded, Pres Louise stepped up to present a donation to Kim Shippey representing the Lynnwood Arts Centre; funds sufficient to help send 20 children to art camp this summer.
After all of that, it was time to eat, so Lynn Cornfield did the honours, cut the birthday cake and served up a small feast of celebration.
