Rotary raising funds in Kimberley and beyond Club active in 147 communities in BC; $8.5 million raised CAROLYN GRANT editor@dailybulletin.ca
Rotary clubs in British Co-
lumbia raised a quite amazing $8.5 million last year. That means that in communities large and small, from Vancouver to Kimberley, Rotarians were doing whatever it took to raise funds for at home charities and international humanitarian work. Or, as Kimberley Rotary Presi-
dent Pat Barclay put it, “We’re not just sitting around having lunch once a week.” This is the first time a survey was conducted of the 147 Rotary clubs in the province to estimate the total amount of money received in one year for community projects and humanitarian work.
Rotary clubs are semi-autonomous therefore do not generally report their fundraising. “I knew the amount raised by clubs was high but never thought that would reach $8.5 million. This report demonstrates the often unreported impact of volunteer fundraising in our com-
munities,” the author of the report, Chris Offer, from Delta said. Barclay says that the Kimberley Club, which meets Wednesdays at noon at BJ’s Restaurant, says about $30,000 was raised in Kimberley over the past year. See ROTARY, page 4
