Another Reason to be proud to be a Rotarian

Big shout out tonight to the Rotary Club of Scarboroughs Members and Steering committee for the Scarborough Rotary Ribfest in Toronto.  With news of a pending storm that was scheduled to hit the area around 9:30 pm,  they decided to stop everything and close the park.  I was doing the sound for the event and made the announcement.  Although it was not a popular decision with some of the ribber vendors, who were expressing their displeasure to.the rotary members there, it was the right one.   They truly put service above self by caring more about those attending the Ribfest then beer and food sales. They are to be commended.  As a member of the Rotary Club of Ajax, they have given me another reason to be proud to be a Rotary member.  We stayed 90 minutes longer to ensure the sound equipment was safe and secure the best we could.  Although the storm did not hit at 9:30 as expected, when I got in my van at 10:30 to leave, the skies opened up and lightening flashes and bolts could be seen all around.  The Ribfest continued tomorrow.  Will have to get there early for cleanup and setting up the sound again. #proud #rotary #member #scarborough #toronto #ontario #canada #ribfest #rotarydistrict7070 #serviceaboveself
