This year's 24th Annual Charity Golf Tournament will be held for the 2nd year at Hazelmere Golf Course. The real winners each year are the Peace Arch Hospital and Community Health Foundation along with the club's other local charities. Organisers are expecting to raise $50,000 from this annual event. We are currently soliciting sponsorships and prizing for the golfers. Each year prizing tops $80,000 total and this year will be the same. This year, the registration gift will be a round of golf for two persons with a cart at any of the 3 West Coast Golf Group courses: Hazelmere, Swan-e-set or Belmont.
If you golf or have friends who do, it is a terrific event to network and support the community at the same time. You can register online here. All levels of golfers are needed to balance the teams, which will be chosen a few days prior to the tournament. The format will be a Texas Scramble as in past years.
Questions regarding this event and registration can be directed to the Golf Tournament Committee through Stewart Peddimors: stewartp@remax.net Tournament Day Registration: 10 am - 12:30 pm
Driving Range available: 10 am - 1 pm
Lunch: 11 am - 1 pm
Shot Gun Start: 1 pm
Putting & Chipping Contests: 10 am - 6 pm
Dinner & Awards: following the tournament

This year's SOLD OUT Wine and Dine was a great success and a lot of fun!. Close to $25,000 was raised for various local and international projects. Sixteen restaurants participated with 640 participants. Pictured here is one of the 2 Vancouver Trolley buses at the Five Corners. The Trolleies run between East beach and the 5 corners each year.

Discovering spirit of giving
Surrey Now December 4, 2012
 Naomi Gantug (Grade 10 student at Elgin Park Secondary in South Surrey, BC)
Just recently, four youth including myself were given the wonderful opportunity of accompanying the Semiahmoo Rotary Club to Hermosillo, Mexico for the delivery of 115 wheelchairs to children with disabilities. As cliché as it sounds, the four-day venture truly opened my eyes to the harsh reality that does exist outside the borders of home here in Surrey, having witnessed it first-hand. I've come to recognize our guilty tendency as kids to have blind spots in our view of life while being blessed to grow up in a developed country like Canada. We are stuck behind these impediments until we encounter something that can free us. | | Posted by Valerie Giles
What is Rotary? from Rotary International.
After you have watched the video, you can contact our Membership Chair, Linda Whitehead (see left side bar) to make arrangements to attend a Thursday morning breakfast meeting. Welcome. | | Posted by Valerie Giles
Each year, Semiahmoo Rotary honours both club members and non-Rotarian individuals in the community for their voluntary contributions with Paul Harris Fellows. Paul Harris was the founder of Rotary in 1905 in Chicago USA. A Paul Harris Fellow is considered the highest recognition that a club honours to an individual.

After more than 25 years of hard work, Rotary and its partners are now very close to eradicating polio, to making history and to changing the world. We are so close to ending polio—all we need is you.

The Rotary Club of Semiahmoo has partnered with the Peace Arch Hospital and Community Health Foundation to sponsor one of the eight Birthing Rooms at the Peace Arch Hospital.
This $150,000 commitment spans several years so we can leave a legacy for Rotary and have a significantly improved birthing experience for the Doctors, Moms and Dads of the 800 babies that are delivered in the hospital annually.
The existing ward which is being replaced was built in the 1960s. Shown here is the manager of maternity services in the new birthing room. | | Posted by Kirk Mitchell
The Semiahmoo Rotary Club has partnered with the City of Surrey to create the Recreational Picnic Shelter adjacent to the Rotary Field House in South Surrey Athletic Park. The Picnic Shelter was built to commemorate the 20th Anniversary (1989-2009) of the Semiahmoo Rotary Club.
