Happy New Year!

Welcome to another year of Service above Self!

Welcome 2024! This year will be another great year to demonstrate the Rotary way of Service above Self. We already have quite a few projects on the go and I’d like to share a few updates from the Director's meeting we held yesterday. 
 
Deep Cove 
We have a contingent of willing helpers heading to Deep Cove this Friday (19 Jan) for a weekend of painting, cleaning, carpeting, clearing pathways and much more. As many of you will know, we have supported the upkeep of Deep Cove for many years and this year the camp will be re-open again after a period of closure due to a landslide last year.
