Over the past few years, the Rotary Club has celebrated both the beginning of the week of Medicine Hat Stampede and the beautiful urban area that is Rotary Park, by having our meeting in Rotary Park.
Many members of the club were pleased to attend a come and go reception in honor of Al Garden's birthday this past Saturday. His family put on a great party and it was a wonderful celebration. Happy Birthday, Al!
