Rotary Club of Tsawwassen Celebrates World Polio Day
 
On November 7th all members of the Rotary Club of Tsawwassen are being asked to donate the cost of two of our regular Rotary breakfasts from our cancelled in person meetings. 
 
This $35 per member PLUS a match from our generous member Edwin Lee.  Edwin owns the Tsawwassen Pharmacy and will be giving flu shot to all members that come to our drive in event at South Delta Secondary School. 
 
With the members donations and Edwin’s match and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation match we expect to raise enough money to immunize 25,000 children. 
 
Rotary has been fighting to eradicate polio from our planet since 1985.  They are so close.  Only two countries left, Pakistan and Afghanistan, and the job will be complete.
 
International Day of Peace
The Rotary Club of Tsawwassen celebrates International Day Peace Day on September 21st every year.  Watch as we celebrate the winner of The Rotary Club of Tsawwassen Rotary Peace Builder Award virtually this year!  Congratulations Mike Grandia, Member of Delta Police Department and winner of this years award,  Constable Grandia is a person who has worked hard to bring peace to our community of South Delta!
 
 
Australian Wild Fire Sign Donation 
During the midst of the 2019 Australian wild fires, Past District 
Governor Bob Blacker of the Rotary Club of Steveston, received an appeal 
from his brother, ( a fire fighter in St. Albans, Australia) to fund a 
fire warning sign. As usual the Rotary Club of Tsawwassen stepped up 
with a $1,000 donation and this helped produce this sign. Just one 
example of how Rotarian's help around the world.

Family of Edwin Lee Very Talented
Rotary Club of Tsawwaassen club member Edwin Lee, has a very talented family. His son Darren is a medical doctor in Seattle just published this musical parody about COVID-19. Darren wrote all the lyrics, performed with his wife Alina and produced the video. Edwin's other sons Warren and Colin in San Francisco helped edit the video. This is well done, entertaining, informative and timely during this time.
