GOLF TOURNAMENT

Friday, June 2nd at Fairwinds.

• We have a reputation for a well-run tournament including our Prize Table. We need you to bring in some prizes. Give them to Dave E.

• Sponsors are the major source of funds, so, if you have suggestions or ideas for potential sponsors, let Don T, Robert or Randy know – they will follow-up with a formal request.

• And, there is room for more golfers – they’re the ones that make the tournament successful and enjoyable. So, please pass the word.

• Sometimes it takes a 2nd or 3rd reminder to get people to commit – for a prize (or two), to become a sponsor or a participant.

• Robert is looking for some volunteers who can help out on the day – even for just a few hours.

• Golfing and Sponsorship forms are on line on our website:

News, Updates & Reminders

May 13th – We’ll be cooking hotdogs for VIU’s “Big Dreams/Bright Future” event in Maffeo Sutton Park, Saturday, May 13th, from 10-2.

May 16th – a casual Club fellowship evening at the New York Pizza on Dover Ave. 6PM – after the Golf Committee meeting (at the Pizza place).



Notwithstanding the name – they have an extensive menu of more than just pizzas – although there’s certainly nothing wrong with pizzas.

June 10th – we will be running a beer tent at the 5K Foam Fest near Parksville. And, maybe, a hotdog stand. More details to come.

July 25th – visit by DG Tom Carroll. A 5-Club BBQ at the Nanaimo Golf Club. It would be great to have a good turnout from our Club.

September 7th – 10th. We will be hosting 12 Rotarians from New Zealand on a Rotary Friendship Exchange. James is putting together a program to keep them busy and is looking for another two hosts (basically B&B for 3 nights)

Community Service

The members approved the following donations from Gaming Funds:

← $1,000 to the Mid-Island Abilities and Independent Living Society.

← $2,000 to the Errington Therapeutic Riding Association.

John Howard Society – Therapeutic Community

A Smart Justice Approach to Recovery from Addiction

The Nanaimo Region John Howard Society is part of the network of more than 60 affiliated John Howard Societies across Canada with a shared mission of evidence-based approaches to justice that are humane and lead to community safety because they address the root causes of crime and promote responsible, accountable behaviours.



There are 3 John Howard Societies on Vancouver Island – each responding to local needs – housing, addiction, employment, and justice – within the correctional system and afterwards.

The Therapeutic Community consists of people working together to make positive changes and apply them to their lives and families. Each member is responsible for their own behaviour as well as being a role model. It is an opportunity to develop meaningful changes.

The VI Therapeutic Community currently supports 15 recovering addicts.

Guthrie House, with hundreds of ‘alumni’ since 2007, currently has 50 residents. Graduates need opportunities to gain work experience.
