Karel Sury Celebrates 40 years with Rotary - The club recognized Karel Sury for celebrating his 40th anniversary with Rotary on April 16th. Karel contributed so much to the club over the last 40 years including running the Rotary Student Medal Awards, helping with Camp Enterprise and creating the concept of a POD, to name a few.  Many Rotarians spoke about some of Karel's outstanding qualities like his colourful outfits, golf and curling skills and his contagious laugh.  He is truly an outstanding Rotarian and we're lucky to have him contributing to the club for so many years.  Congratulations Karel.

Rotarians Help at Wellington Square Church - Several Rotarian's volunteered at Wellington Square's weekly community dinner.  The church serves hot meals to the community every Friday night.  It was great to be able to contribute in a such a meaningful way.
 
Rotarians Serve Christmas Dinner to Bonnie Place Residents - It's a long standing tradition for Rotarians to help with the annual Bonnie Place Christmas Dinner.  This year we helped organize and serve turkey dinner to over 150 residents.    Not only did the residents get a fantastic dinner but Larry Armatage played the keyboard and helped guide the signing of Christmas carols.  It was a fantastic night for both residents and Rotarians.
