🔔 Please support our LVR Interact Club. They are fundraising for a Shelter Box and will have a booth at the Nelson BC Farmers Market this Saturday (Cottonwood) May 30th.

❤️ Thank you Wendy Lacroix for your leadership with this committed group of students.

What is a shelter box? It's a project partner with Rotary International. We are able to collaborate and combine resources to ensure that we can support communities in desperate need of shelter after a disaster.

Thank you to everyone who made this year’s golf tournament such a memorable and meaningful day.

🎉From our major sponsors and hole sponsors, to the golfers and our incredible Rotary volunteers—your generosity, energy, and community spirit truly brought this event to life. The sunshine showed up, the laughter was abundant, and the camaraderie carried us from the first tee, to the marshmallow drive, to a fantastic dinner at Balfour Golf & Recreation

The success of both our silent and live auctions helped us take meaningful steps toward our fundraising goal for improvements at Lakeside Park—and that’s something we can all be proud of.

🌞 What a beautiful day of connection, generosity, and fun.
