Dear Club President and members

On Monday, June 25^th I made a presentation to the seven Rotarians visiting from Sunyani Ghana.  During their visit to Nanaimo, they had many wonderful experiences through the generosity of local Rotarians and community members.  Highlights included being introduced at the District Conference and attending Rotary meetings.

The culmination of their visit was a luncheon at Vancouver Island University.  At this time we made the presentation for malaria nets.  The attached photo shows that we will be sending $5,500.  Through contributions from 16 clubs, $4,756 was raised.  Another $775 was raised by four clubs that raffled or auctioned off African placemats and a table runner. (see attached photo).   What a success story!  [Editorial note: Our club contributed $500 plus proceeds from auction of the African placemats at our Beer & Burger event.]

The group from Sunyani is so pleased with this malaria initiative (our third), they wish to see it continue.

I hope that your club will continue to participate in this endeavour as it provides better health and living conditions to young children.

Again, my sincere thanks to all.

Yours in Rotary Service

Ross White – PDG 5020
