Our first BBQ of the year was a Rotary Summer BBQ/Potluck Meeting Social at Thornhaven Estates Winery on Tuesday, July 11th. Over 30 individuals joined us as we said farewell to our inbound Rotary Exchange Student, Josie Mehrnusch, who leaves Canada to go back home to Germany on July 20th.
The BBQ was Josie's last meeting with us. Attending guests also had the pleasure of meeting Josie's father, Klaus, who was visiting from Germany. We will miss you, Josie, and wish you all the best in the future. We hope to see you another time soon!
In other Rotary business, newly installed President, Chantelle Meriam, and Past District Governor, Garry Hollingshead, accept a cheque for $400 on behalf of the Club's volunteer participation in the 7th annual Prospera Granfondo Axel Merckx Okanagan.
Member, Bob Van Balkom spoke about the many benefits of hosting a youth exchange student in your home. Josie's host family received flowers and wine.
