Aug 29, 05 - District Governor Ron Strickland's Visit |
|
A great turnout at the Beacon Restaurant on August 29, 2005: Wasaga Beach Rotarians, spouses and guests cordially welcomed 7010 District Governor Ron Strickland and his wife Lynn. The Beacon crew put on a very nice lunch, and Club President Henning Geiler in his report introduced the Governor to our Club activities, fundraisers and projects. DG Ron thanked all Rotarians and their families for the time and effort that is being put into successful local fundraisers such as the Corvette Lottery and the annual Rotary Gala Dinner. Also present at the meeting was Assistant District Governor Kim Tranter of Collingwood. DG Ron was presented with our traditional Rotary gift, as usual provided by Honorary Member and Charter President Karl Fuhre. More... |

 |  | Our first convention is going great. Cathy, Katie and I attended the Rotary Centennial Parade on Saturday. It lasted for nearly 2 hours with over 100 different floats and bands. Following the parade we checked out the Friendship Hall market area and managed to spend some money and pick up lots of reading materials. More... |

Jun 26, 2004 - 20th Club Anniversary and Changeover |
| 2003-04 President Bob Gruzuk and 1984 Charter President Karl Fuhre Sen. infront of the original "Hotel Waldhorn" sign, the Club's first meeting place. |
|---|
 |  | The evening of Saturday, June 26th was a particularly special occasion for our club.
The hall at the Wasaga Stars Arena had been beautifully decorated to receive close to sixty members, partners and guests as we combined our Annual Changeover Night with a celebration of our club's twentieth anniversary.
Among those attending were four Charter Members, eleven past presidents and several special guests. It was particularly meaningful to have Charter President Karl Fuhre Sr. and his wife Ruth along with his son Karl Jr., our President in 1987 and his wife Jacqui seated at a table in the middle of the hall.
