INTERESTING PROGRAMS AND SPEAKERS WEEKLY!!
The Club celebrated the presentation of Paul Harris Fellowships at our March 4 meeting. Colleen Lees, Catherine Comben, and Mark Rogers were all recognized for their contribution to the Rotary Intl. Foundation.
Norm Letnick (far right) sponsored a fellowship directed to clean water projects in honour of the late David Cullen Sr., which was presented to Dave Jr., (standing next to Norm.)
We were privileged to have a visit from Joel Feddersen of Metro Community last Tuesday. Metro is one of the Club's MAJOR FUNDING recipients in 2025. The funding is being provided for additional facilities that will double the capacity of Metro's Hygiene Program.
This funding, along with a major donation to the Okanagan College's Thrive Here campaign, is made possible by our Club's annual Pro-Am Golf Tournament which has raised over $2M since it began in 1992. That success is due to the tremendous support of local businesses and individuals, who see this as a perfect opportunity, through their donations and sponsorships, to support MANY needs in the community with one donation.

BREAKING NEWS
We are excited to announce that 
has renewed their Rotary Pro-Am Title Sponsorship agreement through 2027. Traine's support as the 2024 Title Sponsor was invaluable in the tournament's success and we look forward to achieving even more in 2025 and beyond with the support of such a great community-minded partner! Our 2025 Pro-Am Committee will be reaching out to other businesses in the new year to explain how they too can be part of something that does so much good for so many in our community.
