Tonight we welcomed our club's first exchange student, Davina Cater, and her family. A 15-year old student from Promontory, Davina is excited to be participating in a short-term exchange this summer. She is hoping to be sent to France, and return from France with her French host-sister. As Davina's sponsoring club, we look forward to getting to know both girls better.

Great fun was had at our Dec. 2 meeting. There was much love being felt and shared as members of the Chilliwack AFTER HOURS Rotary club wrote messages of thanks to members of the Canadian Armed Forces who will be away from their families during the holiday season. You can see from the smiles on our members faces that these cards of kindness had as much affect on our members as we hope they will have on the recipients.

Tis the season to share love and happiness with those in need.
The spirit of the season was upon us at our December 2nd club meeting. We invited all to join us in an evening of festivities and community service as we prepared gift bags for Ruth and Naomi's this Christmas. You can see by all the smiles that this evening of giving back brought a lot of good feelings to our hearts.
Thank you to all who made donations of items and/or cash donations.
