The four Rotary Clubs of Richmond (Richmond Sunrise, Steveston Rotary, Richmond Sunset and Richmond) recently collaborated to present Paul Harris Awards to 8 individuals who have made significant contributions to the Richmond Community. The recipients were Miles Timmis, Chuck Keeling, Alan Sakai, Jim Kojima, Linda Reid, Jeff Jiang, Maggie Ip and Clara Chow. They truly exemplify the Rotary Motto “Service Above Self.” 
At our recent Auction Gala, the Richmond Addiction Services Society was our focus charity and we raised about $23,000 during the evening.

Henry Yao, MLA Richmond South Centre, presented Richmond Sunrise Rotary with a certificate of appreciation for our successful Gala Auction, which raised funds to support important programs in the Lower Mainland and internationally. Thank you, Mr. Yao, for your recognition of the work we do as rotarians. 
We are still recovering! What an event! Our 32nd (after a two-year pause) auction gala was a tremendous success. We raised enough money to continue supporting both local and international causes. Thank you to the auction chair, Peter Levelton, to the auction committee, the volunteers, to Fred Lee, to the staff at Riverside Ballroom and to all the rotarians who donated, supported and encouraged this event. Our theme was Disco - Friday Night Fever - and it was hot! 
A sincere thank you to all friends of Rotary who ordered hanging baskets this year. Thank you, rotarians, for making the ordering and pickup seamless and easy!
