Tuesday, March 6 - Rotary Club of Williams Lake Daybreak - Our first club visit of the week is the breakfast meeting of the Rotary Club of Williams Lake Daybreak. A good turnout is present with President Ingolf Sandberg presiding, and we are delighted to present a cheque from the Wildfire Fund of almost $16,674.25 to the club.
Their chosen project is to aid the Cariboo-Chilcotin Amateur Radio Society in replacing and repairing their VHF radio repeaters throughout the entire Cariboo region. VHF radio is a primary means of communication in many areas where cell service doesn't exist or gets damaged in a fire and this Society becomes vital in aiding communications in a disaster scenario.
We also help induct new member Basem Marhoon, and are delighted when his entire family is there to support and witness this induction of a new Rotarian.
