Congratulations to Peter and Usha Raju
Congratulations to our honorary member and Past President Peter Raju and his wife Usha. The Richmond Hospital Foundation presented them the 2021 Leadership Award in recognition of their generosity and for inspiring others. The Richmond Hospital Foundation Leadership Award is given in recognition to a donor leadership and exceptional commitment to health care to the community.
 
 
During Peter's year as club president in 2008, our club held a "Tribute to Seniors Gala" recognized the significant contributions and sacrifices made by our seniors. With the community support, the event generated $350,000.  The money was used to upgrade facilities at the Lions Manor, the Rosewood Manor and the Rotary Hospice House.

Wednesday Meeting Recap
Cynthia Lam delivered a presentation on sustainability and intercultural harmony. She is involved in a number of groups that promote a better understanding of different cultures, and using that knowledge to promote more sustainable environmental practices.
 
Cynthia's long term vision is to advocate and promote multicultural sustainability, with the goal to have more immigrants communities join in force, encouraged by their own brand of sustainability. And equally important, for mainstream society to recognize this as a positive force
 
 
Cynthia speaks with authority on this topic as a Member of the Order of Canada - awarded for her passion for and dedication to equality and cultural diversity. 
 
Richmond is a remarkably diverse city, home to immigrants from around the world. Cynthia's discussion of intercultural harmony and collaboration is an important topic for Richmond Rotary. Rotary is promoting Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, so the message of the meeting was highly relevant. 
 
Cynthia's groups, Roots and Shades, are non-profits that work with all age groups to support and work with different cultural groups in the Lower Mainland with a focus on sustainability.
