Nick Jordan and the Royal City Rotary Club

Nick joined Rotary in 1998 after Bob asked him to go to a meeting.  Nick soon realized that he was surrounded by like minded individuals. 
 
Nick considers his fellow Rotarians amongst his best friends.  He acknowledges that the Royal City Rotary Club is one of the better clubs. 
 
One of Nick's favourite programs is the exchange program where we get to witness the transformation of a foreign exchange student throughout their year in Canada. 
 
Ron mentioned a story about himself and Nick during their trip to Mexico together that shows the generous character of Nick.  While the two were walking on the beach, there was a stand on the beach where a few locals were selling some items.  The items cost 40 pesos each, and Nick offered the merchant 100 pesos for two! 
 
Nick produces a lot of the Rotary merchandise from shirts to pins.  Nick also produces a lot of merchandise for many other organizations such as the VPD and the RCMP.  He provides great quality at prices from his family run business.  Nick has 16 employees, and 3 of his 5 children still work there.  Nick also has a retail store downtown that is doing well.  
 
 
 
Maria and Olga - Interact Club at New Westminster Senior Secondary

Maria and Olga did an impromptu presentation about the Interact Club at New Westminster Secondary. 
 
The Interact Club organizes fundraisers in the community.  Their local charity is called the Lookout Society that helps to provide support and housing for the homeless in New Westminster.  Their international charity is Rotary Polio Plus, and they worked with Rotary to organize the Polio Walk a few weeks back. 
 
Currently there are 10-15 members in the Interact Club.
