Lockie seated above on mezzanine floor they built with (from left to right) Laurie (a friend of Buzz), Len, Brian and Buzz standing. Photo by Brian’s cellphone A small work party went out to Arion Farm to build an 8’ x 18’ mezzanine floor to store materials on. The materials were there, the workers enthused and the job only took a few hours. Good work guys and a special thank you to Laurie who pitched in to help.

Fund Raiser – we need to sell more tickets to our event. A good number of tickets are out but the flow of cash into the club can best be described as a trickle. Friends of Rotary ‘Christmas in a Bottle’ Fundraiser -

"Christmas in a Bottle" sells for $20 per bottle and includes: a string of lights and switch in a wine bottle, an AA battery, a Christmas decoration that can be taken off when it's not Christmas, a wine gift bag, and a pamphlet explaining the Rotary Club of Kelowna Capri sponsorship of the annual Cottonwoods Christmas Party. Sales are ongoing with the next hospital sale to occur in early April.

Len will be organizing the next one near the end of March or early April.

This spring there is a Rotary Leadership Course held at the Capri Hotel on March 24, April 7, and April 21. HUMOUR
