The Flash Mob is open to all and anyone.
We need observers as well as dancers. So tell your friends and family to join us! NEW - INSTRUCTIONAL VIDEO:
AND HERE IS THE PRACTICE VIDEO TO PUT IT TOGETHER:
We wanted a song that would be recognizable by all, so Directory Bobby Bonsey selected R.E.S.P.E.C.T. by Aretha Franklin with a special mix. Practice the dance moves on your own. We will also be having some live practice sessions during the District Conference - details to follow. To further help dancers during the Flash Mob, there will be dance leaders that you can watch and follow during the event. If anyone is interested in being a dance leader, please email t0shogan@buckleyhogan.com and I'll get you in touch with our director, Bobby Bonsey. The Flash Mob is open to all and anyone - whether you are attending the District Conference or not. We need observers as well as dancers, so tell your friends and family to join us! The date is Saturday June 1 at 2:30 pm and at the Vancouver Art Gallery in the large open area facing Georgia Street.
You are welcome to join us earlier as we will be having lunch at the Gourmet Food Trucks located in the area. Wear your Rotary pin and any Rotary logo gear that you may have.
The video will be broadcast on Sunday June 2 after a premiere showing during the District Conference, then uploaded to YouTube. |

Saturday June the 9th, 2012 was another great day for the Rotary Club of Port Coquitlam Centennial as we co-hosted the Annual Wilson Center Seniors Award Breakfast.
We were on hand to celebrate a fabulous group of seniors who take part in contributing in many different ways to help support our great community through their generous volunteer efforts.
In attendance to help entertain these fabulous contibutors to humanity, were the always incredible and awe inspiring Maple Leaf Singers. Yes the very same Maple Leaf Singers who graced the globe in 2010 at the Vancouver Olympics and Paralympics as they sang with Nikki Yanofsky in 'We Rise Again' as well as provided back ground vocals for 'A Spark Becomes a Flame' sung by David Steele.
Members of the group range from 20-70 years of age.

The second largest parade in the Lower Mainland concludes in 89th year There were about 100 parade entries and it lasted about 3 hours in downtown Port Coquitlam. The streets were full of people, came out and watch the May Day Royal Party and community floats, marching bands, motorcycles, antique vehicles and much, much more. Many of the community’s non- profit organizations were there as well. People from Tri-City area came out in full force to enjoy the sunny day and cheer-on the Terry Fox Foundation, the various local soccer clubs, the Girl Guides and do not forget the Boy Scouts of Canada. Cheer on our future leaders. We cannot think of any better way to belong to the community that we are so proud of. |

The Club attended VanCity's "Movie Nite" in the Open last night in Pitt Meadows. (August 4th).We had been offered the opportunity to represent Rotary at this function for local families by our DG Elect (2012-13) Sean Hogan and we jumped at it. Having a business partner like VanCity for the organization can only lead to good things. |

The "Odyssey of the Mind" troupe gave a sparkling performance to the Rotary Club of Port Coquitlam at their May 19th meeting. The children are from Grade 2 to grade 5 and have put this program together themselves. The coach is not allowed to touch the costumes or the production. The kids did it themselves including a "mousemobile" powered by three Mouse traps that would be a challenge to any of us! Incredible! |

The Rotary Leadership Institute is setting up a new set of courses for 2011. - The courses are excellent for self-improvement as well as learning more about Rotary.
I have taken all three courses and the 4th "Master PR" course as well and can highly recommend them. The courses are excellent management courses to teach or remind you of good management principles that most of us know but may have forgotten. The world keeps changing and the people we deal with change. What worked 10 or 20 years ago may be invalid today.
I strongly recommend the courses to all members. |

Terry Fox Hometown Run is Sunday, Sept. 18thNo Corporate Sponsorships are accepted. There are no mandatory fees for the run. No minimum donations are asked for or required of any runners. It was Terry's dream that everyone should participate and have fun. The Foundation essentially runs on voluntary help. There are only 32 paid staff throughout Canada. Over 87 cents on the dollar goes to cancer research. 3 cents are spent on administrative costs of the Foundation, and 10 cents goes to fund raising. |
