2010 marks the 90th anniversary of this club. Chartered in 1920 - The Battlefords is the second oldest Rotary Club in District 5370. Edmonton club was chartered in 2016...so many stories of service and bringing hope to others. Bud Gladwell is the member with the most service years in this club.
The Battlefords' Rotary theme... Bridging Communities - shares a bridge over the North Saskatchewan River and joins their two communities. What a beautiful setting for this Rotary Community.
If you stop by the exhibition - be sure to stop by the Rotary booth for a spud-nut. A great fundraiser for this club that has supported their community by building parks - skateboard park, dog park - proposed Memorial Park. Other fund raisers include Texas Hold'em, Trip of the Month, Hockey draft, PGA Golf Pool...this I am sure is a short list for this vibrant and active Rotary Club.
President Darlene and her Board will be exploring opportunities for accessing grants through our Rotary Foundation. Congratulations as you begin the last decade before your centennial. May your club continue to build BIG - BETTER - BOLDER!
Wow, 90 years! Unbelievable. Thanks for sharing Jackie.
