Blueberry Fundraiser Support the Food Bank

Thank you for your support.

We raised $700 for the Salvation Army Food Bank.

Helping others is what we do!

Small club - BIG heart

Although the world is in a state of crisis right now it is still possible to carry on the Rotary tradition of helping where help is needed.

Our club is working with Kiva to help people grow their businesses and support their communities. So far our club has contributed 34 loans to various countries and for various purposes as you can see by these graphs.

We invite everyone to visit Kiva and look at all the good that is being done across the globe. Once there you can read more about the type of people requesting loans and about how we are supporting the world by helping these people.

Feed the Kids campaign

Had the pleasure of delivering 25 hampers to a local elementary school with a Rotary buddy. This is part of the Feed the Kids campaign. The food bank needs donations of peanut butter and canned goods. Even better a cash donation. Some of these families have been going without. Nice to help out!

Meet our exchange student!

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.

Joan Patterson

Welcome to the Rotary Club of Chilliwack Afterhours! We're a small club of 23 members, and the newest club in the Chilliwack area. We consist mainly of young professionals who meet every other week to support Rotary's goals while maintaining our commitments to careers and family.

As our second birthday approaches in October, we're proud to be well into fund-raising and community service projects. We're creating a network of Little Free Libraries to boost literacy, investing in young leaders through youth exchange, and putting the fun in fund-raising with our pub nights and upcoming Craft Cider and Beer Festival. Please join us on Zoom or in person once it's safe to gather.
