Richmond Sunrise Auction Gala
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!

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.
