Thank you Ken for your dedication, commitment and guidance.

Would you believe this water came from the Thames River?
 
Blake Vince explains how he got this crystal clear sample from the brown river during his presentation of responsible farming techniques, for which he is a pioneer.
 
 
Please help us celebrate the development of Ukraine Rotary Park by attending the grand opening on Saturday, August 27 from 10:00 am to 12:00 noon. The park is located at the corner of Victoria and Grand Avenue.
 
The tribute park has been adorned with berms, sunflowers, benches and flagpoles flying both Canadian and Ukrainian flags and is ready for public use.
 
At the July 12, 2022 breakfast meeting, outgoing club president Ken Bechard said goodbye to last year and hello to the new.
 
Ken was presented with an Imagine Rotary tie by Assistant District Governor Ken Corlett, and Audrey Chevalier was presented with an Imagine Rotary scarf. The Imagine Rotary campaign commemorates incoming Rotary International president Jennifer Jones historic achievement by becoming the first female RI president.
