SUPREME WINDOWS SITE TOUR

President Chas said we were delighted to be

with Ann MacKenna and her team at Su-

preme Windows.

It is a perfect setting where Ann and her team

make the magic happen. Her vision and com-

mitment to an idea that has benefited and con-

tinues to benefit young people through educa-

tion. Ann, you are an inspiration to our students!

For 19 years we have had this partnership and

we hope for many more years to come. A huge

thank you on behalf of the children who benefit

and our Club we appreciate all you do.

On a personal level – many of our young female

students will be proud to be in your company

when they learn you operate one of the longest

standing and successful businesses of Calgary!

On behalf of our Club we are happy to present

to you a Paul Harris Fellowship Award: Rotary

International says: It is bestowed in exceptional

cases for exceptional individuals for uncommon

service to Rotary ideals and support the Rotary

cause. It is my pleasure to present it to you Ann!

SUPREME WINDOWS SITE TOUR

Bill Sumner On behalf of the Steering Committee of the Stay

in School Program I would like to say it is a great honour and

privilege to be here today! Thank you to Supreme Windows

for having us here. Over the years our Rotary Club has had a

very special working relationship with Supreme Windows and

the hope is that we continue to work together to make the

SISP a very special program for young people who have as-

pirations of achieving at the post secondary level.

We have 66 young people who are or have been involved in

our program. 14 students have graduated – the rest are

working hard at getting there. Special thanks to our Mentors

who work closely with the students to help them achieve their

goals.

We now have a little over $4 million in our fund – and our goal is to get to $4.5 million.

This coming year is a very special time for our program – 2020 will be 20 years involvement and I

know that the golf tournament committee is working hard on a special program. A very special ef-

fort will be made to in-

volve the students (past

and present) in the pro-

cess. The tournament will

be July 23, 2020. The gift

of this picture is present-

ed (and provided by

Gena Rotstein).

Ted Stack presented to

Ann a gift certificate of

$500.00 to use on her

upcoming cruise – that

she purchased at the SIS

golf tournament! She was

so excited!

President Chas said it

was fantastic to be here today to honour Ann and her team. The tours of the plant then com-

menced!

We call them the High Ho-ly Days and are comprised of three major festivals: Rosh Hashanah, the "Head of the Year," Yom Kippur "Day of Atonement" and Sukkoth which is our Harvest Festival. Aside from celebrating by eating, then fasting then eating again... we mark the holiday with apples and honey along with sweets. These are to symbolize the type of year that we wish for everyone.

Snow and bears prevented us from going to the scheduled hike to Troll Falls. We opted for a short walk in the sunshine of Fish Creek Park. Submitted by: Pat Farn

The paths were clear with residual snow on

the ground.

Lunch at Annie's Cafe seemed to be the
