This is the place to find out about or let others know about events that involve the Rotary Club of Qualicum Beach Sunrise.
These shortcuts should get you started. For more information, scroll down.
If these links don't produce what you expect, or if some other option should appear, let me know.
The things we do are what Rotary is all about and this is the place for us all to find out about what we do. Anything that can be considered an Event should be listed here and, like every part of this website, we depend on our members to add events to this record. It is not hard to do and help is available. If you are a committee chair and are having a meeting, if you are organizing a fundraiser, if you have arranged a speaker for a regular meeting or are setting up a party, add it here because this will become the place our members will come to look for that information. You can add an event with nothing more than its title, date and location but you can also add more, like a link to a speaker's web site, a link to a forum discussion here, a contact link so people can click to send a message or a query to the right person for more information.
The record of these events doesn't disappear when the event is done. If you choose any of the past Events links below, past events will (once there are some!) be listed along with any comments about the event that our members have added, links to the Scuttlebutt or minutes of the meeting involved.
People come to websites because they are looking for information. Information about our club will be here if our members get involved in adding it and this is one of the ways were try to make it easy for our members to do that. As it grows, the Events Calendar will be an easy way to find out what we are planning, what we are doing now and what we have done in the past.
If you need it, we have a place to get help.
Friday, April 23, 2010, a crew of Rotarians will meet at Rotary House at 10 am to set up the interior portion of the garage sale, pick up items from donaters and price items. We will work until we're done.
Saturday, April 24th at 9 am until 1 pm we are running a garage sale at Rotary House. On that day we will need many volunteers to arrive at 7 am to set up the outdoor display of goods, set up table and tents if required. After the sale we will need vehicles to get rid of the good stuff to SOS and the non saleable, which I hope is very little ,to the dump.3 station wagons, crossovers, vans or pick ups would be nice.
From now till April 23 we need to find, clean saleable items for our garage sale. David's budget needs funds for donating. If SOS or the Sally Ann wont'd take it we don't want it. We do not sell clothing. We can arrange for pick up of large items. Members can bring items that will fit in the Shed to our meetings. You can drop them at my house, if I'm home. I expecting each member to scour their house, shed, crawl space , or garage to find 2 boxes of goodstuff. I have delivered 1 already!
If you are going to be away on the 23-34th we still expect help before you leave.
Can volunteers join me for a short meeting after next tuesday's meeting?
Thanks
Peter Kellas, Garage Sale "Chairman" 250-752-8649
PS The RDN took their VCR back. Does anyone have a working VCR or VCR/ Disc player they are willing to donate to Rotary House?. Some of our voluinteer groups that use the hall used to use the RDN one.

We continue to add photos to our club photo archive. We have photos that go back to 1997.
We want to include all available photos of club activities. If you have photos to contribute, please send Ken Walker full size (not the usual compressed for email versions) jpg files. It may be easier to transfer them by copying to a USB key. Ask me, I can provide one to you for this purpose.
Do we have a volunteer with a scanner willing to scan old fashioned prints to disk so we can add them to our archive? The club has some and members may also have there own to add. Do you have print photos of club activities? If you do, please let me know.
In the meantime, this slide show displays the photos we have that have been taken so far in 2009. More will be added soon for Show and Shine. Enjoy!
(By the way, the fiddling around with the text above is just to impress demonstrate to Ed that it can be done!)
