In November our Club held our fifth pub night at Townhall Coquitlam to raise funds for the Polio Foundation, the whole event was a great success.
We ended up raising $905.50 which when matched by rotary international and The Bill and Melinda gates Foundation it ends up making out to be $2716! What an amazing achievement for our club! Thank you to everyone who came out and to all the rotaractors the donated their time to make the event a success!
We had our first ever Pumpkin Carving Social on October 25th at the Port Moody Recreation Centre. We voted for the “best” pumpkin at the end of carving, whomever carved the “best” pumpkin got awarded with a donation in their name to the SHARE food banks for our version of Halloween for Hunger this year!
Austin Taylor, President from the Whidbey Island Rotaract Club won our Pumpkin Carving Social!
We had an amazing turnout with rotaractors from all over the district coming out to have some halloween fun with us!
Around this time every year, our Social Committee puts together a holiday party for our club members to unwind and celebrate our accomplishments from the past year. This year, our social’s theme was “Minute to Win It” and we were split up into teams to participate in various activities throughout the evening. We also had a blind gift exchange with recycled gifts. Thanks to our “Social Sisters”, Chantal and Nicole, for organizing this fun event!

Members of our group spent the afternoon running around the Tri-Cities area to perform random acts of kindness for both strangers and people who serve our local communities. Among the tasks that we performed were:
