The main uncertainty in the coronavirus outbreak in the United States now is how big it will get, and how fast. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Nancy Messonnier told reporters on March 9, “many people in the US will at some point, either this year or next, get exposed to this virus.” According to infectious disease epidemiologist Marc Lipsitch at Harvard, it’s “plausible” that 20 to 60 percent of adults will be infected with Covid-19 disease. So far, 80 percent of cases globally have been mild, but if the case fatality rate is around 1 percent (which several experts say it may be), a scenario is possible of tens or hundreds of thousands of deaths in the US alone.

We Need Your Help & you can Win Big!Fraserview Rotary needs your help this February and you can win prizes Each Year our Club holds a Gala Fundraiser for the Club and a selected Charity organization. The event is really important as it: - Raises funds for the Club
- Raises funds for the Charity that we choose
- Allows us to get points for various activities under the Rotary KPI program so that we hit our targets for the year.
This year was to be no exception and we had planned and negotiated a great venue, band and fashion show, had all of the artwork ready to hit, and then, the tragedy of the virus in China hit the news. The Executives have spent much time thinking about how to handle the issue, most service clubs have been forced to cancel their events. We feel that it will be uncertain just how comfortable we will be asking a large group to meet at a venue if public opinion and public health are still a concern. The last thing we want is an event that has low turnout and loses money. As we indicated, other service clubs have simply cancelled events and lost the fundraising ability, but we decided that we can save it by being super creative, rather than simply give up. The VIRTUAL Spring Gala and Fundraiser “Your Absence Will Make a Difference.” So, we have decided to put on a VIRTUAL GALA and FUNDRAISER. We are asking everyone to please pitch in and contribute to make the rotary year for our Club and also to really do a great job for our Charity of choice this year! 'Beyond the Conversation is a movement that wants to address the gap of social connectedness, loneliness and mental health for all people. If anyone who is seeking to build their community support, contact@beyondtheconversation.ca.' HERE ARE THE BENEFITS: - we raise needed money for the Club, as we did in previous years - we raise money for the charity "Beyond the Conversation Society" that really needs the support - we have almost zero cost to do this - we get club points many of them that will hit our targets for the year - Fundraising
- Projects
- Volunteer hours
- Goods donated
- Community give back
- Total members involved
These are all critical metrics we need. What Can You Do to Help? We have set up a payment portal on our website that has a few of options: The executives have all committed that they would have spent around $100 per person on a Gala; Ticket, Drinks, raffle tickets etc. So depending on how many people they would have bought for 1 or 2, we have set up donations of both All other Members have more scope of options on how to help: We have $50 and $25 levels that you can donate at. The 4 options are all listed on the events page and here, again we have no cost, so all of the funds go to the Club and "Beyond the Conversation Society": Prizes - These prizes would have been part of a raffle, they will be randomly selected: A Trip! - Peaceful Harbour Suites Water’s Edge Shoreside Suites is the only property with access to both the serene Ucluelet Inlet & the active Marina from every suite! We’re nestled on the peaceful water’s edge of an island joined by a causeway within the Harbour. Nothing else compares. Stunning surroundings, breathtaking views. Come discover a true West Coast classic. 1 Deluxe Bedroom with Outdoor Tub Valid: Sunday - Thursday (no weekends). Not valid: July 1st - Sept 15th, Holidays or Long Weekends Prize Value Worth: $500 and these other great prizes: - Tim Hortons $100 card
- EasyPark $150 Parking Card
- Men’s Nike Watch - $150
- A 2nd Nike Men’s watch - $150
- Maritime Museum family pack
- Amazon Echo Dot - Alexa
- Bottle of Wine
- $50.00 Pack of Cineplex movies
Anyone who makes a donation can win! Want to make 2 x $50 donation instead of 1 x $100? - then you get 2 entries! Finally, we have a corporate sponsor opportunity, we have 3 companies committed to this level already at $300, we appreciate any company that can make a difference! Thank you all for all your support!

U.S. stamp commemorating Rotary International's 50th anniversary in 1955 The first years of the Rotary ClubThe first Rotary Club was formed when attorney Paul P. Harris called together a meeting of three business acquaintances in downtown Chicago, United States, at Harris's friend Gustave Loehr's office in the Unity Building on Dearborn Street on February 23, 1905.[8] In addition to Harris and Loehr (a mining engineer and freemason[9]), Silvester Schiele (a coal merchant), and Hiram E. Shorey (a tailor) were the other two who attended this first meeting. The members chose the name Rotary because initially they rotated subsequent weekly club meetings to each other's offices, although within a year, the Chicago club became so large it became necessary to adopt the now-common practice of a regular meeting place. 1st Canadian Rotary Club? - see more to find out.....

Last year we lost one of our members. The Rotary Club of Fraserview recently raised money in his name and made a donation to the Rotary Foundation and presented his widow with a Paul Harris Fellow certificate in his name. William is from Brunei – in south East Asia on the north coast of Borneo, when you look up on line about Brunei its says it is known as “ The Abode of Peace” William came to Canada and Vancouver as a businessman and started a beef jerky business, BKH jerky, and met the love of his life Flora. William joined the Fraserview Rotary in early 2017.

A big thank you to Immediate Past President Manjit Claire for recommending this restaurant to our club for our holiday season dinner celebration. In attendance were 18 members and family members of our Rotary Club. It was an amazing night that started off with a delicious dinner selection of different dishes, and was followed by an evening of music and dancing. It was very evident that our party came with their dancing shoes on. There were countless highlights including the incredible dance moves of Past President Dalip Sandhu to President Elect Kuldeep Tatla inspiring everyone in the restaruant to come to the dance floor and have a dance. What a night!! I heard many coments of when can we do this again and why haven't we come to this restaruant before!! An evening enjoyed by all and truly celebrated in the Rotary Spirit. Our club definitely left our mark at this venue by having an absolute blast! Happy Holidays to all and the best for 2012!

The Rotary Club of Vancouver Fraserview held it's annual Fundraiser on Saturday Nov 5, 2011 at the fabulous Royal King Palace Banquet Hall at Payal Business center. A big thanks to partners Parminder Atwal and karan Khatkar. We enjoyed another successful year as we raised proceeds of $49,000. We again met our goal to committ $20,000 per year to the BC Mental Health Foundation. The monies raised go towards a unique and innovative program called "The Youth, Culture and Mental Health Fund which is headed by Dr Shimi Kang. Our Club has made a $100,000 commitment over 5 years to this cause. Young people between the ages of 15-24 report the most suffering from Mental Illness, Substance abuse, and Addiction. Dr Shimi Kang, who has worked with youth for over 10 years, has observed that all youth, including South Asians are at serious risk. Culturally specific awareness, education, and intervention at an early stage are key facors in keeping our young people healthy and communities thriving. The evening was enjoyed by about 250 people in attendance. Entertainment was started off by Neeraja Aptikar who provided a great selection of Classical Indian songs. She was followed by Rajdeep Sekhon whose bollywood singing voice was as if we were listening to the original singer of the song's. Dal Hothi then came on and rocked the night. The dance floor was packed and many interesting and fun dance moves were witnessed by all. The evening was MC's by Comedy Central Comedian Sunee Dhaliwal and his co-host John Perrotta. Both provided a a fun filled evening with timely jokes and a nice flow to the evening. The Club had a surprise and generous donation made by Bruce Kehler and Scott Frampton whose company Country Lumber presented a check for $5500.00 . The unexpected donation was accepted by Club President Bob Rai and the two were asked to come to the stage and say a few words. As well two key member's our club were presented with the Paul Harris Fellowship Award. Immediate Past President Manjit Claire and Bruce Kehler were the recipients of this prestigious award which is given by Rotary International. Congratulation's to both of them for their commitment to Rotary and thier generous contribtions. The evening's fundraising activities were also well received. The Silent Auction items completely sold out. The balloon sales to win a trip for two to stay at the Trump Tower Hotel In Manhatten, New York (donated by Kuljit Tmana) also sold out and the Live Auctions items provided some exciting bidding wars. A slice of pizza that was donated spontaneously by Dave Atwal ended up going for an amazing $700. Thanks to Dave for starting this creative and spontaneous auction item. As destiny would have it his partner Dana Purington of DSM Civil Works ended up winning the Trump Tower Hotel Prize. As well Narinder Kang and Jason Hari won a bid of a extemely generous $3000 for a hockey game package that included two tickets to a Canucks Game of their choice donated by The Medicine Shoppe Pharmacy, A limo ride provided by Star Limo(Ranjiv Sandhu) and a tunnel pass to meet the players after the game donated by The Fan Zoo(Bob Athwal). All in all the evening was enjoyed by everyone. A big thank you to everyone for their generous support and congratulations to the Vancouver Fraserview Rotary Club on another well done event. A special thanks to President-Elect Kuldeep Tatla, Immediate Past President Manjit Claire, Treasurer Mercedes Wong and Secretary Anita Dalakoti for helping to put together the details of the event and making it wonderful evening.

On Wed October 12,2011 our Club held a Bowling Night's evening at the Richmond Bowling Facility called "The Zone" About 35 Rotarian's along with family and friends came out to enjoy a wonderful evening of food, bowling and good fun. We were also joined by members of the Rotary Club of Vancouver Arbutus including their 2011-2012 President Harreson Lovick. All eye's were on immediate Past President Manjit Claire to defend his title from the previous bowling event. To much chagrin, he did not disappoint! :-) He won the Men's Bowling Trophy in a convincing victory. We are recommending he goes professional!! The Women's trophy was won by Channi Sandhu, wife of Past President Dalip Sandhu. Everyone had a great time and we are working on scheduling another "Bowling Nights" for the near future

Rotary Club of Vancouver Fraserview was privileged and honored to have as it's special guests speaker's at today's lunch the newly appointed Commanding Officer of the British Columbia Regiment Lt. Colonel Harjit Sajjan and Colonel Keith Maxwell. Both men have served our country proudly and have achieved high levels of success. Our Rotarians enjoyed hearing about their accomplishment's as well as sharing some of the old war stories. It was very interesting and exciting to hear them speak about their experiences. The Club was so enthused about their visit that our newest member Jesse Johl made a motion to give them honorary membership in our club. This motion will be formally passed at our next rotary meeting. Please click on their names to read their bio's. A must read as both are very accomplished. Of course, a special congratulation's to Lt. Colonel Harjit Sajjan who had his Change of Command Parade on a very special date: Sept 11, 2011. It make's it even more special as he had a large part in turning things around in Afhganistan with his unique approach on building relationships and building communities from the ground up in a war torn nation. Thanks to both gentlemen for making our meeting memorable.

Thank you Volunteers, Golf Tournament Participants, and the staff at Greenacres Golf & Country Club. What an awesome event!
This year the Rotary Club of Vancouver Fraserview, once again hosted their annual
golf tournament, in which the club raised twice as much money as the previous
year, and enjoyed a wonderful day of Texas scramble golf with over forty five
participants.
This year’s event was further endorsed by twenty six corporate hole sponsors,
that generously donated to the hosting of the Fraserview Rotary Club's annual
golf tournament.
Attendees at the event enjoyed a brilliant array of BBQ buffet themed foods,
a full bar and gut wrenchingly funny comedy from two local high profile comedians’:
Sunny Dhalwial & Johnny Pirotta,
Each attendee also went home with a prize, either from the silent
auction tables, the many free giveaways, and of course the player gift bags.
We welcome all participants to enjoy this annual event once again in
2012, and would like to thank you for your continued support.

Rotarians and their families gathered to hold our Annual BBQ in South Vancouver at South Fraser River Park on Sunday July 17,2011 The day was a bit cloudy and had splashes of rain but was the mood was uplifting and the food that was prepared by Rotarian and Seargent at Arms Harinder Dhillon was absolutely spectacular. The food really brought the sun out in our hearts and the setting was beautiful as we enjoyed the great food and beverages alongside the Fraser River with a view on airplanes landing at YVR. A big thanks to Harinder for putting this event together and to Rotarian Vish Chandra who assisted Harinder as co-Chair of the event. The crowd was delighted to also feast on a special goat curry that was specially prepared by Rotarian Narinder Sidhu's wife Harpreet. A big thanks to her also. Later in the day a card game called "seep" broke out and a guys against the ladies game ensued. We won't mention who won the historic battle. :-) To end the evening the Club enjoyed birthday cake after singing a rousing rendition of Happy Birthday to Ethan Claire, son of Past President Manjit Claire and Former First lady Ronnie Claire. A big thanks to Rotarian Narinder Sidhu for coming up with the suggestion to have tent's in case the weather didn't hold up and a big thanks to Rotarian Ajit Thandi for getting the Tent's organized. All in all everyone enjoyed themselves and was a great day.

The Legacy Project is a community event that invites all cultures to come together with one goal. The united goal is to honor and respect our diversity and appreciate the countless benefits of living in
Canada
.
What better way
to teach our next generation of children this, than through the sharing of Family Legacy stories. At the same time, students are getting an opportunity to experience the many stages of publishing a book. We hope to motivate and foster many future writers.
We Need to Raise $6500 for this Project.
