September schedule and scenario shift-Just for this month, our club is shifting its dates and meeting places. On Thursday 3 Sep We will be meeting at the Central Saanich Fairgrounds to set up our games for the upcoming fair. We offer BINGO, Ball Pitch, Fishpond, Coke Ring Toss, Cork Gun, Lucky Duck, Funball and Pin Ball for all ages. So, no meeting on 10 September. Then, on Thursday 17 September we are doing "Club in a Pub" at the Waddling Dog Pub as we host our District Governor for her annual visit. So, no meeting on 24 September. We will revert to our usual 2nd and 4th Thursdays of the month at the Sidney All Care Residence in October. Hope to see you all out at the fair!

Bill Brooks of the Cycling Without Age Society attended our last meeting, updated us on their recent activities, and accepted another donation from the club to help support his group. He and his 40-plus bike pilots continue to service the community in fair weather and cool times too by offering rides to seniors and juniors who regard this trip as a joyous adventurous break from their usual routine. Another great organization in the Sidney area which Sidney Rotary is proud to support.

Once again the Sidney Rotarians have answered the bell. The Salvation Army bell. that is. For the first three weekends in December, members of the club attended one of the Salvation Army Kettles in downtown Sidney, soliciting funds for this fine organization. We support the Salvation Army because they do great things, providing food, shelter and clothing to many of the most unfortunate souls in our community. Although things are tight this year, Sidney citizens were their usual generous selves in stocking the kettle bowl or swiping their credit cards. Thank you, Sidneyites!

At our last meeting. we had the enjoyable privilege of listening to CHEK news reporter Mackenzie Read, who vividly described her recent adventures with the 2025 Cops For Cancer bike ride down Vancouver Island. She was one of eighteen participants in this year's ride, and she described the agonies of some very long days combined with the emotional ups and downs as the troop visited small towns and schools throughout the voyage. Not a dedicated biker at the start of the exercise, she is now the proud owner of her personal bike, and is truly thankful that she participated in the ride. Club members were most impressed with her spirit and honesty, and it made for a most memorable presentation..

On Thursday night our club held its annual White Elephant Auction to raise funds for the Rotary Foundation. What's a white elephant? It's something that one no longer finds useful, cluttering up closets, crawl spaces or garages. One wraps this no-longer-useful "gem" in a disguise, creates a little poem hinting at its nature, and adds it to the "treasure pile." Our honorary member and skilled auctioneer, Kenny Podmore, then read out the poem, and then cajoled, teased and implored club members to purchase all of these "treasures", one at a time. The winning bid was really a pledge to donate that amount of funds to the Rotary Foundation, and the prize was whatever the unwrapping of the "gift" revealed. Kenny's skills netted over $1700 in pledges, and a good laugh was had by all. Thank you , Kenny, for another entertaining evening at the Sidney Rotary Club.
