Fun filled evening Rotary meeting with the Ace of Spades, the Queen of Turkey, coffee dreams and turkey dinner!
A full house enjoyed our evening dinner meeting at Second Home Restaurant in Summerland on Tuesday evening. The crowd enjoyed a splendid turkey dinner and the most amazing desserts. We had to choose between lemon meringue pie, lemon squares, brownies, chocolate cake with mocha icing and spice cake.
After our delectable dinner and dessert, Rotarian, Roch Fortin, introduced our special speaker, Banu Tülümen, who was our featured speaker, sharing her Vocational Classification talk. Banu joined the Rotary Club of Summerland in the later part of 2017; however, she is no stranger to Rotary, having first joined the organization 20 years ago in Istanbul, Turkey. Banu graduated from interior decorating from the Academy of Fine Arts in Brussels, Belgium; worked as private secretary to the Prime Minister; published three children's books and did translations of 6 books for different companies. Banu also had two exhibitions of paintings. It was a very interesting evening presentation and wonderful to learn more about Banu!
Rotarian, Michael Weis, presented the Summerland Rotary Club with another generous cheque donation of $1000 as a result of the fundraising efforts at the Summerland Research and Development Centre. The Rotary Club of Summerland has been grateful to receive these donations over the past five years, with the donated funds being a great help in the support of many local and international projects including the Summerland Rotary Club's support of SADI (Summerland Asset Development Initiative), the pathway between Summerland and Penticton and the Rotary Club of Summerland's Rotoplast Mission to the Phillipines. Thank you to Michael and all of the coffee drinkers up at the Summerland Research and Development Centre for this generous donation!
At the end of the evening, Rotarian, Lisa Jaager, was our 50/50 winner then drew the Ace of Spades from the deck of cards and won our "Chase the Ace" jackpot of $770! Congratulations, Lisa!
