Campbell River Daybreak Rotary is Busy, Busy, Busy

Today's meeting at the Royal Coachman Pub was great fun!! Leah Tremain presented a Literacy Leader Award to the local chapter of Altrusa International. As part of this award Daybreak Rotary and Literacy Now are contributing 350 'I Love to Count' DVD's to their Books for Babies program. What made this extra special is they were invited to the meeting this morning but didn't know why. Suprise!!
We also honoured our 'Student of the Month' this morning who was Nicole Crooks a grade 11 student from Timberline. Nicole's accomplishments are many but one that really impressed myself specifically was her application for a cancer research internship in Victoria this summer. We all wish her luck.
Our presentation was Arlene Leduc with 'Nourish the Children' - although I had not heard of this organization they have created along with Nu Skin a product called VitaMeal which is specially formulated for malnourished children.

Campbell River Rotary Social Night a Success!!

April 1st at Crystal Lanes was the place to be if you were a Rotarian in Campbell River. Great competition, excellent pizza and of course fellowship was in the air. Daybreak Rotarians and Noon Hour Rotarians joined together to bowl, play crib, and have a drink or two. I'm not sure at the end of the night which team ended up winning but I think we were all winners because it was so much fun and well organized. In my lane I was the queen of the gutterball but I did have two strikes and a couple of spares, my husband Bert caught on quick and was a pro after the first two and Brian and Denise from the Noon Club gave us pointers and encouragement when I wanted to throw in the towel....I should have played cards!! I noticed all the other lanes of bowlers were having just as much fun as we were - it was great to see. Thanks to Suzanne and Dave for organizing this event and I hope there will be more. After all, we are all Rotarians for the same reason and we celebrate it in style.
Campbell River Daybreak Rotary meets every Tuesday morning at 6:45am - 8am at the Royal Coachman Pub and the Campbell River Rotary Noon club meets every Wednesday at 12p at the Coast Discovery Inn in the Tyee Plaza downtown Campbell River.
