Over the past several years our two clubs have often collaborated or partnered on projects. Parksville AM Rotarians are strong supporters of our Roses fundraiser and we reciprocate by supporting their Taste of Oceanside. In 2010-11 our Vocational Committees jointly sponsored the Trades and Tech Fair and for the last 2 years we’ve partnered in the Coats for Kids project. Scuttlebutt believes this is just the tip of the iceberg and that there are other cooperative opportunities just waiting to happen. How about a joint membership initiative?

 Ron reminded us that our Christmas dinner Party is only 2 weeks away. Wednesday December 14th; Tickets are $30 and going fast. Program  One of the things that are an essential component of a successful International project is trust. The International club that is providing the resources for a project overseas must have established a good working relationship with the overseas Rotary club and must feel confident that the resources they are providing will be used as intended and that the project will unfold as planned. Derek Jay has spent time in Davao a city of 1.2 million on the island of Mindanao in the Philippines and visited the Rotary Club of Davao. The Davao club was involved in a Literacy, Lifeskills and Livelihood (3L) Development and Assistance Project for the local rural Bagobo people. While there Derek learned that the project was in jeopardy because of a lack of funds. Derek returned to Qualicum and provided our International Committee with the opportunity to assist the Rotary Club of Davao with the funding. Because Derek had developed a personal relationship with members of the Davao club we were assured that any assistance we might provide would be utilized effectively. We contributed to the 2 successive years and the project has now been completed. As a result of Derek’s initial contact with the Davao Rotary Club and our participation in the 3L project we have established the connection and the trust that is so important for possible future projects in support of the Bagobo people .
