Past Presidents Picnic
The Past Presidents Picnic (PPP) is one of Regina Eastview’s social highlight events of the year. In keeping with established tradition, it was held in Pat Dell and Glen Tressel’s back yard last Sunday. It was an ideal sunny afternoon, having been postponed from a rainy Sunday 2 weeks earlier.
This highlight gathering saw the induction of two new members, Oladayo Ajala and Richard Taylor, who were loaned the Classifications of Project Control Specialist and Travel Consultant respectively. Coupled with this, Club Treasurer, Shannon Windrim, was recognized for 5 years of service through the Rotary Club of Regina Eastview.
Visitors Bill and Jackie Carter and Doug and Nancy Porcina (Fort Qu’Appelle), and Jana and Eghosa Amadasun and former Eastviewian Laurel Mattison were much appreciated additions to the crowd of some 50 persons.
Pat and Glen have been the wonderful hosts of the PPP for many years. Each year their back yard has proven to be the ideal space - tents, tables, a canopy of leafed trees, a barbecue banquet with donated salads and 6 kinds of homemade ice cream. It is tough to beat the combination of good food and Rotary fellowship - each year this event reminds us of the value of this family.
In recognition of this “service above self”, President Jeff presented Pat and Glen with suitably titled CHEF head coverings, which will make them standout in any crowd.
Thank you, Glen and Pat..
