Dennis and Shirley Ekvall were inducted as the newest members of the Rotary Club of Calgary Sarcee at our first meeting of 2011. What a great way to start the new year! Shirley and Dennis have expressed an interest in helping out the Club Service committee on the international side of things. As Shirley and Dennis will be in Scotsdale for the next few weeks, we're going to attempt to have them join us remotely via skype.

To give members some history on the Paul Harris Fellowship presented to Van Visvanatha by DG Al Bergsma, Van is a Past-President of Rotary Sarcee and has served two terms as President. He has also been the Chairman of the District 5360 Integrity Awards Committee for approximately the last five years.
 
The Integrity Awards is a joint project involving all the Calgary clubs. It was instituted about fifteen years ago to recognize the "unsung heros" in the Calgary community. It is intended to honour those who do great work in the community and who may not been previously recognized. Each Calgary club chooses a worthy recipient and the winners are formally celebrated at a dinner held each February-March. Watch for this in 2011 year - it is an inspiring event!
 
This event was in danger of being cancelled several years ago before Van stepped in. He took on the job of heading up the committee and even financed the commitment out  of his own pocket at times.
 
Past-District Governor Laurie Fisher who instituted the awards called the 2010 Integrity Awards organized by Van one of the best ever!
 
At this time, we want to recognize Van and thank him for his past contributions - you have done our club and Rotary proud!
 
Congratulations and Thank You Van!
