The Ski-venger Day with the Whistler Club on Tue 2nd April was a raucous day and lots of fun. Your Millennium Club was well represented by a selection of animals… aka… The Zoo on the Loose. The Golden Boot went home with the Mountain Host team and will be up for grabs in 2020! Well done to the Whistler Club for putting on such a fun event! Look forward to supporting it again next year.

Fish and Chips – Doreen Watts
It’s with great sadness that we share the news of the passing on of our wonderful friend, and exemplary Rotarian, Doreen Watts. The Tart, maker of the best lemon loaf, the one with the cheekiest of smiles, quick hands to give your backside a squeeze if you were high on the ‘cute-meter’ and strong welcoming arms to give everyone the best hug ever.Doreen passed away on Thursday 4th April – on Fish and Chip day. Her absence was felt at our heartfelt meeting this Thursday. With our flags at half mast, our meeting today was sharing stories about our friend Doreen. As we get more details about arrangements, we’ll let you all know.
See you all next week.Shannon
