Williams Lake Rotary Club had a very inspirational speech by District Governor Lorne Calder out of Prince George. Lorne was introduced by visiting Rotarian from Quesnel, Assistant Governor Sandra Lewis. Not just because DG Lorne Calder is an accountant, by his speech was by the numbers and it was great how he related the numbers to Rotary. Our current President David Dickson liked it so much he wants it on Facebook and in the local newspaper. :-) |
