Lisa Jagger – her work with Ogopogo Bath tub Race, SADI Youth Club, Giants Head Grind and the best Rotary moment of the year
Roch Fortin – In September he almost single handily hosted the Golf tournament that raised over $6000. Hosted the Great Christmas gift exchange, our collaborator
Doug Carnegie – In October the budget not only is he our treasurer he is on the membership committee, the fundraising committee and attends all our events.
Michael Weis – In November Michael convinced his team how important it is to donate funds to Miraj India Project, SADI Board member plus he pours wine.
Michael Zang – organized the many socials of the year. Also rocked it on our geological tour.
Chantelle Meriam – in the darkness of winter the social butterfly, attends every event and have you noticed, always has a smile. Is our unofficial Miss Sunshine.
Bob "the traveler" Van Balkom – He is so young at heart and really thinks he’s a kid. Relates to all the youth. Has worn every scar with the kids.
Vilas Prabhu – Brought our club from local to global. Put all his effort to making the global grant happen no matter what.
Aart Dronkers - And in this Art is his brother – The ying to his yang.
Linda Van Alphen – took on a task that has made our club shine as Sunday Market manager, and Youth Committee Chair
Ann Kemp – Our God mother – the one full of Grace. Teaches only by example.
Karl Seidel – not just because he has a convertible but because he is a man of integrity. He is kind and giving. His soul is true.
