Jim Hawkins won table stakes and was the wandering coin gatherer
No sheriff details this morning as Vern had a lengthy presentation
Vern gave an interesting account of the history of Rotary International as well as local Okanagan Rotary, and in particular this is the 100th Anniversary of Rotary Foundation.

Much encouragement from Vern, and from his video, for members to attend the 2017 District Conference being held in Kelowna.
