President Louise presented Bill Volume, visiting from the Kinsmen (and taking a break from watching curling on TV) with a cheque for $500., as a contribution was made from the Harvest Supper for the Food Bank.

There is a really great way to learn and share Rotary Information!
Rotary International launched its own YouTube channel a year ago with two goals in mind: offering Rotary video content to viewers who may not be familiar with the organization, and providing free video content to Rotary club webmasters.
The YouTube channel supplements video on Rotary's Web site by providing Rotarians the means of embedding video onto their own sites. (See Did You Know? to learn how.) Rotarians, Rotaractors, and Interactors are encouraged to select from a growing collection of pieces from RVM: The Rotarian Video Magazine and from Humanity in Motion public service announcements. Plans include highlighting user-generated video. Go to http://www.youtube.com/rotaryinternational and check it out!
