Destiny inducted Dean into the Rotary Club of Camrose Daybreak on January 7, 2020. Dean is Chief of the Camrose City Police. Dean grew up in the Red Deer area and has a policing career in Calgary and Airdrie. He is impressed with the city and the caliber of the police service we have. The members are well-trained and community-minded 

 

In his short time in Camrose he and his wife Laurie have become involved in the community. Dean is on the Camrose Special Olympics board and is currently fundraising in support of his participation in the Centra Cam Bowl-a-thon in March. If you haven't already met Dean you may find him in unexpected places as he enjoys getting out in the community. In December he was at Walmart tending the Salvation Army Kettle. Finding it a little dull, he called on Laurie to bring his speaker so he could share tunes and his dance moves.

 

As a Rotarian, Dean is now one of over 1.2 million Rotary members in over 175 countries around the world. He will be welcomed at any of the over 13,000 Rotary Clubs in those countries. Rotary offers opportunities to serve in the community and around the world.

 

Camrose Rotary Pints for Polio Pub Walk was a huge success!! We had 40 Rotarians and friends come out Friday night, November 1st, to support our awareness and fundraising event for the End Polio Now campaign. We visited 4 pubs where we were treated to a drink and some food. We had a raffle and/or a game at each stop. A thousand thank you's to our sponsor pubs: Tap Room Bar + Brewery at the Norsemen Inn, Canadian Brewhouse, Geo's Sports Lounge and the Boston Pizza Lounge, all who donated food, drinks and prizes. The staff at each place were fantastic! D&D Vehicle Sales donated use of a large van so we made sure everyone arrived home safely. Thanks to all the Pub Walkers, Pubs and community donations we raised over $2,100. This will be matched 2:1 by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and grow to over $6,300! Enough to help vaccinate 10,000 children.

 

Great work Everyone! and so much fun!! Check out some pictures of the event.
