It has been such a curious year - so many ways we've had to adapt our ways of providing a service to our community ... and in spite of everything we have remained strong and are proud of our year of success.So, we felt it was worth celebrating our year and with the organizing talent of Gail Bouw and her team, the generosity of our hosts Steve & Jane Malo and the culinary skills of our own caterer Tracy Winkworth; we celebrated in style.
It was a great way to close out our year - six members installed as Paul Harris Fellows (Tracy Winkworth, John Wallace, Andy Kooistra, Keith Jones, Lucine McKay and Dave Nicolle) ; six of our founding members so-recognized (Jim Peters, Peter Wheatley, Keith Jones, Steve Malo, Joyce Flexman (for Keith) and John Wallace); our trivia king so-annointed (Alan Plater) and a new member welcomed (Yuliia Postil). What a great night!!
