Congratulation to the Rotary Club of White Rock Team (Raj, Winston, Darryl, Fred, Joan, Russ, Rheanna, Bert, Irene, Wayne), and everyone that supported the team with your generous donations. We reached our goal of $15,000. Hurray!  Money raised from CNOY 2021 will be applied strategically to SOURCES programs and services that are in most critical need: SOURCES Food Banks in White Rock/South Surrey and Langley, Housing and Advocacy Services (including Rent Bank), Volunteer Services and Counselling Services.

Rotary International has added a 7th Focus Area, "Environment". The Rotary Foundation Trustees and Rotary International Board of Directors have both unanimously approved adding a new area of focus: supporting the environment. More than $18 million in Foundation global grant funding has been allocated to environment related projects over the past five years.

Rotary members from the 6 local clubs, which includes the newly formed Rotaract club, held their annual breakfast for Sources Food Bank. Over 275 guests enjoyed a hearty breakfast while they were entertained by the barbershop chorus "Toast & Jam" from the Langley First Capital Chorus. Magicians Jordon Vo, and Kim moved from table to table mystifying the guests. This years breakfast was the best one yet and raised over $5,800. The folks at the White Rock Baptist Church were gracious hosts supplying the coffee and tea. Generous food donations from Choices, Savon, Safeway, Thrifty's, and Costco helped make the breakfast a success. Thank you to all!
