Celebrating 2012 Rotary Week in Quesnel
Celebrating “Rotary Week in Quesnel”, 20-24 February, and the 107th anniversary, on 23rd February, of the formation of what would become Rotary International, Polio Plus has become a truly global initiative to eradicate polio.
Since 1988, Rotary International and its partners in the Global Polio Eradication Initiative (GPEI) — the World Health Organization, UNICEF, and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention — have worked to wipe polio from the face of the earth.
A volunteer service organization of 1.2 million men and women, Rotary began immunizing children against polio in 1985 and became a spearheading partner in the GPEI three years later
After 25 years of hard work, Rotary and its partners are on the brink of eradicating this tenacious disease, but a strong push is needed now to root it out once and for all. It is a window of opportunity of historic proportions. We are this close...
2011 Radio-TV Auction: November 28-29-30 
THANKYOU QUESNEL!
After three nights of busy bidding and auctioneering, the 2011 Rotary Radio-TV Auction is in the books...and you have helped us raise $26,000 before costs.
Your support means we can meet our commitment to a donation of $10,000 to the Rotary Hair Salon & Wig Bank project located within the Canadian Cancer Society's Kordyban Cancer Lodge, a regional project valued at $150,000. The remaining funds will be put towards local projects yet to be determined but which will add to the growing list of community.
Before we can do that, however, we need you to collect and pay for your items. All winning bidders will be able to claim their items at Design Flooring, starting Friday December 2nd. For those items not actually at Design, you will receive a receipt for payment from Rotary which you can then take to the donor business. Cash, cheque or money order payable to "Rotary Club of Quesnel" - sorry, the option to pay by credit card is not yet available.
Again, many thanks for your support - to all our donors, bidders, and volunteers - see you next year!

Pictured are Dr John Havens, 2010-11 President of Rotary Club of Quesnel, presenting Leigh Clarke, owner-operator of McDonalds Quesnel, and Jack and Raimi Pannu, owner-operators of City Furniture & Appliances Quesnel, with Rotary Foundation Certificates of Appreciation.
