Saturday, May 5 - Rotary Club of Burnaby Metrotown Wine & Food Fest - This evening we join a special event, the Wine & Food Fest hosted at the Nikkei Centre by the Rotary Club of Burnaby Metrotown - we are welcomed by many Rotaractors who are actively engaged in the evening. This is a sold out event, and the crowd has a great time sampling wines, craft beer and food from many vendors.
The MC is our District Governor Nominee, Bala Naidoo, (a Burnaby Metrotown Rotarian), and District Membership Chair, Tom Smith, is there with the District booth in action. The Urbana Big Band entertains and the silent auction and other fundraising activities are well patronized. It is good to see so many Rotarians from this and other area clubs there, and President Simone should be very pleased. A sold out fundraising event bodes well for the club and its projects.
