June 17th Meeting Recap: Dan Returns!

Many members said, "That was the best meeting of the year!"
 
62 members and guests attended and enjoyed the food, fun, celebration and recognition.
 
Indeed it may have been, as Dan completed the final kilometer of his epic 1600 km Alberta bike ride in support of Rotary International's goal to eradicate Polio from from the Earth. 
 
There were SO MANY things that happened during the meeting, that we can' include it all in this bulletin, so please watch this new video that summarizes Dan's ride and the June 17th celebration back home in Cochrane at The Legion.
