The Peninsula Rotary Club donated a water fountain for the White Rock dog park near Centennial Arena. The fountain provides a drink for both two legged and four legged visitors. Club members, family and four legged friends were at a dedication with Mayor Wayne Baldwin.
Helping Feed the Hungry
Rotary Fundraiser a Success
While most of us are able to eat on a regular basis, there are many in our community that go hungry and the food bank keeps them from starving. On May 14 the five Rotary clubs of South Surrey/White Rock (The Rotary Clubs of Peace Arch, Peninsula, Semiahmoo, South Surrey and White Rock) held the third annual fundraising breakfast at First United Church. Over $5000 was raised to help Sources Food Bank help those in need. Sources’ buying power will allow them to purchase $15000 worth of food and goods for those in need.
Over 200 community members joined us for breakfast and therefore “ate AND fed the hungry.” For $15 they enjoyed a breakfast of eggs, bacon, sausage, pancakes, coffee, tea, and juice cooked and served by Rotarians. Many in attendance brought donations of non-perishable food and made financial donations.
A very special thank you goes our supporters: First United Church and Choices Markets, as well as, Save-On-Foods, Safeway, Thriftys, and Buy-Low Foods.
The Peninsula Club staffed the kitchen cooking and cleaning - What a TEAM!
Denise Darrell, Director of Women, Seniors & Community Services at Sources was the recipient of a Paul Harris Fellow for her continued work to better the lives of the less fortunate in our community. Seated is District Governor Bill Robson who made the presentation and enjoyed Denise's surprise and words of thanks.
