President Ben Doz gave the following message at our Club Christmas Party on November 23, 2009:

This is a night of gaity, of camaraderie and remembrances.

Tonight, as we gather and mingle, I remind you of what our Club stands for:

  • Principles of respect, honour and charity
  • And the knowledge that deeds, not just words, are what makes the difference between our club and a social club.

Tonight as we gather, let us give thanks for the fellow who sits beside us, for this fellowship and what we accomplish together makes us greater than either of our actions would do alone.  Celebrate together and create memories, for the history of this club is that of its members and their family and friends memories.

Welcome to the Rotary Club of Edmonton West's Christmas.

Thought for the night:   "He who has not Christmas in his heart will never find it under the tree."
