Last Week's Happenings

At our Tuesday morning meeting we hosted former Rotarian Jim Watts who provided an update on pay parking in Whistler. Gill Foster won the win draw. Ken Martin used his DYK time to discuss the police fire support activities at 100 Mile House.

The Rotary Club of Whistler managed the Athlete Check In for the Subaru Ironman Canada on Thursday, Friday and Saturday. The team checked in approx 800 athletes on Thursday, 1300 on Friday and an estimated 300-400 on Saturday. The Ironman staff were very pleased with the job our team did. Thanks to everyone who came out to help. Special thanks to those who worked extra shifts or stayed longer than they were scheduled for. Rotary's does it again! Much more about Ironman, including pictures, to come.
