In Memory of
Heather Bondy
A Celebration of Heather
Bondy’s Life was held last
Saturday.
Heather
was a passionate volunteer
and a contributing member to
the community. She was a
recipient of the award for
Women of Excellence, a
Paul Harris Fellow and the
founder of the Out Reach for
Hunger Foundation. As well,
Heather lead an aid to Zaire
mission, and helped build
schools and medical clinics
in the Dominican Republic
and Uganda.
Heather’s
Mission in Life was to
support those less
fortunate.
“I
keep my eye on the
vision, on the dream. I
surround myself with
people I trust and share
my dream. If you see a
need. Go for it! Try to
do something about it.
It is surprising how
easily things can be
accomplished.”
“Everyone should have a
dream. When I die, I am
going out with a smile
on my face because I
made some dreams come
true.”
Heather, March 2002
In
Heather’s honour, if
Members wish, then
please bring to next
week’s Meeting, a
donation in goods or a
cheque to be delivered
to either the Outreach
for Hunger food bank or
the Polio Relief
efforts. (Make cheques
payable to Rotary Club
of Chatham Sunrise & we
will ensure delivery
after the Meeting.)
Guest Speaker - President
Blake Vince "My
Year Envisioned"
Thought for Today:
Tomorrow, when polio is
eradicated! What will be our
focus? Will we sit idly by &
take a breath & rest on our
accomplishments? Or will we
take up the torch on another
crusade, that will circle
the planet & have an ever
greater impact?
