A Special Tuesday - Vern Nielsen Award & AccelerateAlex Reid spoke to the club about the tech innovation scene in the Okanagan on Tuesday April 25th. As part of Accelerate Okanagan, Alex shared how growth in new and developed companies in the tech sector is benefiting the economics of the entire valley. Accelerate fosters tech innovation through building community and helping businesses with their specific needs. Alex is a special friend of the club having been a club sponsored Rotary Exchange student and the daughter of member Barry Reid. It was a special meeting as the club honored Barry Reid for his outstanding service to Rotary with the Vern Neilsen "Local Hero" award and a Paul Harris. Barry has been a valuable member of the club for many years and his contributions include writing global grants for the Bangladesh project and his numerous club contributions. So nice that his wife and daughter could be on hand for the tribute. |

Opportunity to promote Rotary and local businessThe club has been looking for opportunities to promote Rotary in the local community and one way is to take out a page in the Penticton Herald. In order to cover the printing expense business card ads will be sold. This will give local businesses a chance to show they support the good works in the community by Rotary and their business at the same time. Ads will be the very reasonable price of $50 for a business card size. Please ask your friends and businesses where you are a customer, if they would like to participate. We are targeting an October 28th printing. Please let Sandra know if you or a business you know would like to participate by October 19th.

Helping people with disabilities make their own music![]() Music has been an important part of leading an ordinary life for students at the Music School for Children With Disabilities in Honor of Paul Harris in Lublin, Poland. Founded by Rotary members, the school serves 20 students with various disabilities, including Down syndrome, autism, and visual impairments. The Rotary Club of Lublin-Centrum-Maria Curie-Sklodowska has provided funding with help from Rotary Foundation Matching Grants and the Henryk Wieniawski Musical Society, which houses the school.
After their son Mateusz was born with underdeveloped eyes, Mariusz and Joanna Kania looked for ways to help him be active. When he showed an aptitude for music, they looked for a teacher and were thrilled to find the Paul Harris music school.

Saving lives in Ghana![]() A highlight for the team was greeting the chief of Sagadugu. The team got excited about buying goats and food for children in the villages where I support eight churches. It was good to see the pastors of most of the eight churches, and I had to explain that we were just passing through on our way to Bolgatanga. |
