Why does this man have only a piece of tie?
Posted by Kevin Evans on Apr 03, 2019
 
 
 
At last year's District Conference, as DG Darcy was promoting her conference in 2019, she suddenly whipped out a pair of scissors and hacked off the MC's blue Rotary tie - his pride and joy. Why did she do that you might ask???

Sun Peaks Grand Reno - just in time for Conference 2019!
Posted by Kevin Evans on Mar 20, 2019
 While we'd like to say that part of "rolling out the red carpet" at the Sun Peaks Grand Hotel and Conference Center included a   $7 million renovation just for Rotarians - we can't. 
 
 Still, attendees at District Conference 2019 will enjoy the comforts afforded by a recent complete guestroom makeover at         the Sun Peaks Grand.
 
Here's how the hotel describes the reno: "This plan will transform the 221 rooms into quiet luxury with an updated               contemporary attitude balanced with a hint of modern rustic."
