The meeting began with Judy McLeod recognizing Robbie Burns day by having John McDermott sing the Anthem. Gail McEwan delivered the invocation with a poem by Kitty O'Meara: "And the people stayed home. And read books and listened and rested and exercised and made art and played games and learned new ways of being and were still. And listened more deeply. Some meditated, some prayed, some danced, some met their shadows. And the people began to think differently. And the people healed. And in the absence of people living in ignorant, dangerous mindless and heartless ways the earth began to heal" Visiting Rotarians: Tanya Hall (Sechelt Sunshine Coast) Darcy Long (Past District Governor)) Bill Learmont (Honourary Member) Ralph Roberts Guests: Neil Dubord- Police Chief Delta Michelle Davey- Deputy Chief Geramy Powell -VPD Carolyn Daley- Speaker Special Occasions: Judy McLeod Anniversary: Leda and Graham Mallett (50 Years) Valentines Day Rocked Jen Kormendy A visual essay of the social committee's Valentines Day rock project was presented.
