 On January 14, 1990, four (4) members and their
spouses from the neighboring Rotary Clubs of Ladner and
Richmond, B.C.
District 5040, met informally to
discuss the merits of creating a
Fellowship through Fine Dining
and within the mandate of Rotary
International’s rules for World
Fellowship Activities.
One of our main criteria for such
an organisation was that the
membership should not be
comprised solely of the members
of any one Rotary Club, but rather
that in the true spirit of Rotary, it
should consist of members from as
many different neighboring Rotary
Clubs within the District.
Thus it was that one year later, on
April 3, 1991, with the blessing of
at least four (4) District Governors
from four different Districts, as
required by R.I., twenty two (22) members from seven neighboring
Rotary Clubs in District 5040 received approval from Rotary
International and Chapter 1- Richmond, B.C. was now up and
cooking! |
