Coming into Fort St. John, Wayne and I recalled fond memories of the District 5360/5370 bonspiel hosted by FSJ Rotary clubs a few years ago, not to mention a super District conference...great fellowship and hospitality. We were also reminded that it was a Fort St. John Team that won the 2010 Rotary Bonspiel in Athabasca.
President Montana Currie and members of Board, along with AG Jim Kraus met Tuesday evening to discuss growing Rotary in this vibrant community. Membership growth and possibilities were explored as well as other initiatives for growing Rotary in Fort St. John. Club will consider an interact club - (building on success with Seeds of Learning program in El Salvador) and explore possibilities for evening Urban Spirits Club. Work is underway on new look for website with clubrunner.
Projects supported by this club include Youth exchange, Friendship exchange (Scotland), members from New South Wales, Australia are looking forward to the GSE for 2011 with NSW District; Trails Project, Christmas lunch for disadvantaged children; Food Bank for schools, breakfast program, kids sports, float...this is a busy club!
AG Jim Krauss invited us to visit his home at Charlie Lake. Thanks Jim. Carolyn is a super cook! Did you know Jim lives walking distance from his golf course.
This club is determined to meet President Ray's challenge - Bigger! Better! Bolder!
