Rick Duff, from Rotary Club of Steveston paid us a visit on Wednesday meeting.  He brought us a heartfelt request that we help the Bahamas's recently hit by Hurricane Dorian.  Flooding has rendered the hospital unusable.  There are dire water shortages.  Many people have perished.  The International Airport is devastated, hampering international aid. 

 

The four Rotary Clubs in Richmond are joining forces for a walk to raise awareness and funds.  It will be on Sat Sep 21 from 11:00 to 2:00 at Gary Point Park. Rotarians, friends, family and public at large are invited to participate to provide badly needed funds for supplies and assistance to the Bahamas.

 

We were also joined today with guest Suzanna Xu, a local resident and businesswoman and Angelo Boholst from Rotary Hospice House. A delicious lunch provided by host Janice Froese at the Richmond Curling Club.

 

Some people are cautious about Friday the 13th, fearing bad luck will befall them.  This Friday the 13th however, marked the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the Rotary Club of Richmond members were invited to the home of Harmon Bal for a wonderful pot-luck dinner.  There was no bad luck befalling anyone on this night.  We enjoyed Rotary friendship, met Harmon's family and shared some bonding together.  The Rotary Club of Richmond, since 1962 has come together for social nights where better friendships can be made.  Sorry to those who missed out on tonight's social.  You missed great food and great company.  So, when President Henry calls for the next social.....mark your calendars and join in the fun.  It will be after work so all of you can attend and Harmon has offered his home anytime.
