Richmond Sunrise supports the Victor Ghirra Toy Drive and this week's drive was wonderfully successful. Each rotarian contributes a toy and shares their connection with memories of Christmas past. 
Our great appreciation to Debbie Murphy, Pat Atkinson, Gordon Dalglish, Belinda Boyd and Bill Jaffe for their generous support of the Rotary Polio Plus initiatives. Following our successful Poinsettia Fundraiser pickup, we were thankful to enjoy a Christmas luncheon at the Riverside Palace. We are so grateful to be able to celebrate with our Rotary family. Happy Holidays to all! 
Welcome DG Lorne Calder and ADG Dean Hsieh!

Ron has many fruit trees in his gorgeous backyard and his fellow rotarians came by Saturday morning to help him with the picking!
On September 30th, we wore our orange shirts, symbolic of our commitment to honour the memory of every child taken from their home, to support education as the key for Canadians to walk the path of Reconciliation and to reflect on what this country can and should be. We are thankful for this new National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. 
As harvest season approaches, Rotarians find many ways to share. Thanks to Debbie and Bob who picked Ron's apples to donate to the Food Bank.
The Rotary Club of Richmond Sunrise participates in the Victor Ghirra Toy Drive every December, in loving memory of Victor Ghirra, a philanthropist and loving family man, who passed away in 2007.
