Our Club has supported the Richmond Asian Business Association Victoria Street Festival every year since its inception 11 years ago. This year, on 15th January to welcome the year of the Dragon, we tried something different, selling cold bottled water and slices of fresh watermelon to raise money for a Loreto Sisters’ activity in Vietnam through Tricia and distributing brochure specifically about the Club. Rotarians Gordon Little, Joe Arcuri, Tricia Roessler, Helen Connors, Bill Hampson, Wendy Tang and Bruce Shaw all participated, while young volunteers Khang Dinh, Anne Truong, Thanh Phan, Vi Ly and Danny Luu capably handled the preparation of our traditional Rotary Balloons. Michael Lau prepared the water melon slices with all taking a turn at selling them. It was our best turnout at the Festival ever and we raised sufficient funds to buy 5 bicycles for poor kids in Vietnam.
