In our Community this month:

Breakfast Club of Canada has been nourishing children's potential by making sure as many of them as possible have access to a healthy morning meal before school, in an environment that allows their self-esteem to grow and flourish. Operating from coast to coast, the Breakfast Club of Canada helps feed 203,852 students every day in 1,598 schools.

On July 27th, Rhonda Hymers and RBC Wealth Management were proud to be Platinum Sponsors supporting the Breakfast Club of Canada's 5th Annual Shooting for the Stars event with Carey and Angela Price.  The evening was a great success with a total of $250,000 raised through fundraising and sponsorships to support the Breakfast Club programs in our local Okanagan schools.

Opera Kelowna's Annual Gala Event - Carmencita - RBC Dominion Securities and RBC Wealth Management were proud to be sponsors for the Opera Kelowna Gala Event.  One of Kelowna's most eagerly awaited benefit galas was held at the Innovation Centre on May 26th. A fantastic time was had with captivating displays of "steam punk" fashion, performances by nationally recognized street artists, and the music and dance of Vancouver's Toque Flamenco Ensemble.

 

Team Corner:

Rhonda and Jason enjoyed a trip to LA in July to watch their daughter Kaia with her Village Dance Academy Group on stage at Disneyland.  They are one talented group of dancers. After the performance Rhonda, Jason and their kids:  Callum, Owen & Kaia enjoyed some rides including the Guardians of the Galaxy (aka Drop of Doom) ride. 

Have a wonderful August and rest of the summer!

 

Quote of the Month:

“Take up one idea. Make that one idea your life – think of it,

dream it, live on that idea. Let the brain, muscles, nerves,

every part of your body be full of that idea,

and just leave every other idea alone.  This is the way to success.”
