Welcome to our new Rotary Year 2011-2012. 

August 2011 update 

With our club it is always about the food and fun first; before getting down to business!!  We were treated to a home cooked breakfast from Chef Paul, cooked oxtail, potato salad and cake from Lily, hotdog gourmet spread from Sugo, baked brownies from Arlee / Roger; baked cake, cheese cake breakfast rolls and delicious chicken salad from Faye, scones and gourmet veggie chips from Suchi, lasagne, salad and bread from Rose, fruit salad from Rhonda and catered egg rolls from our returning new member, Mike and breakfast from Gayle and Celine!  Special thanks for members Sugo, Faye, Gayle, Jennifer and their respective spouses Cal, Bill and Richard who worked all 3 days!! Even Alex's wife, Judy came and arranged our linen area like a boutique shop. Much appreciation goes to Janice and Helen Abe, our godmother for their diligence to price the items, one by one.  Helen  stayed overnight for two nights and was up at sunrise ready to help us throughout the entire days!!  As well as the help and support of George and Janice, Janet Chen (succulents from her beautiful yard), Drew, Jeni, Don, Ron, could not have done any of this without all of your help and support.  Last, but not least goes to Ted, who came at the end with his crew to help load up the trucks and clean out the garage and yard with his yard blower--made the place look cleaner than ever!!

The ultimate was the children:  Zach Lammers (grandson of Sugo) and Aiden, Avery and Alexandra (Jeni)  made it even more fun!!!!

Now for the amount of funds raised....  We made over $2,000 on Day 1 with the balance on Sunday, total raised is approx. $3,000 (unaudited)!  This is over 10% more than last year of $2700.
