Muhammad Syed, originally from Lahore, Pakistan, shared his inspiring journey of moving to Canada in 2019 and establishing his own law practice. Raised in Lahore, with strong parental influence guiding his path toward a career in law, he reflected on the importance of family and education, mentioning his three daughters and sisters. While he no longer plays cricket, Muhammad continues to actively contribute to his community through his legal work and local involvement.

In other news, Ken Smarthwait was announced as the grand prize winner of the Art Raffle Draw, presented by Irene, who thanked both Linda and Michael for their efforts in making the draw a success.



Bob Livesey celebrates his 50th year as a Rotarian, all with the Rotary Club of White Rock! Shown here receiving a double ruby Paul Harris Fellow pin as he continues his lifelong support of the Rotary Foundation. It was a day of celebrating long term Rotary volunteerism as Don Jones was interviewed by Darryl Walker about his work in Rotary over 62 years!
 
District Governor Dave Duskin was our guest speaker and inducted new member Richard Fung. Jim Bindon of UNITI received his pin and badge as part of that corporate team. And Winston Conyers was sworn into the new position of Vice President. Ethan Martin got his first trip to the front as membership director and did a splendid job. Keith Becker and Michele Partridge received the governor's award for their efforts over and above for promotions and running the book sale. 


Azra, director of the Mannkind Charitable Society, dedicates her time to providing basic needs, healthcare, and education to impoverished children. Her efforts include aiding Syrian refugees, organizing protests to protect Peace Arch Hospital's maternity ward, and currently sponsoring an Afghani family fleeing the Taliban. This moved a few of us to tears, as Winston Conyers could barely get his comment out, choking back tears after hearing about the incredible work Azra has done.
