60th ANNIVERSARY EDITION
It was a special evening of food, fellowship and reflection. Former members, spouses, and friends attended the event at the beautiful Royal Regina Golf Club. Club Service Director Pat Dell was master of ceremonies. DG Fred Wright from the Rotary Club of Kenora, complimented Eastview on this milestone. He noted the many projects in which the R.C. of Eastview has been involved. Eastview is distinguished in being home to 5 past District Governors. He paid tribute to Ann Grahame, long time Literacy Chair for District 5550, and to Allen Hillsden for his contribution for many years as District Secretary.

PDG Peter Peters provided an entertaining summary of the last 60 years of Eastview. Our club was sponsored by the R.C. of Regina and in turn sponsored 4 additional Rotary clubs in Regina, Regina North, Regina Industrial Parks, Regina South, and Oskaya. Eastview continues to focus on youth programs, local and international projects. Peter paid tribute to those who have served in District positions, to women who were allowed to join in 1989 and to all who have made Eastview the club it is today. In 1959, the year the Club was chartered, the annual membership dues were $10 and a full meal cost $2.65. A lot has changed in 60 years. Thank you Peter.
