Peter Merkley, Elsabé Falkson and Carol Cartier after weeding the Monarch Butterfly Garden

That evening, thanks to the generosity of Rotarian Bernie Robinson, about two-dozen Rotarians plus friends gathered at his “Sugar Shack” for a barbeque between 5:30 and 9 pm.

Tables were available both outside and inside the shack. Sitting around the campfire proved popular and led to many interesting conversations as dusk came upon us. Great fellowship on the lovely stone patio overlooking the soon-to-be-planted fields.

One of our members, John Borst, brought Tru Earth’s bamboo utensils. It was an opportunity for our environmentally conscious Elsabé to take a photo and promote Tru Earth’s many environmentally safe products which contribute a portion of their profit back to the club as a fundraiser. She was proud of John for setting an example by using sustainable, reusable utensils and not single-use plastics!
