* The RACHEL Offline Digital Learning Systems

A massive thank you to Mandy for her ongoing dedication, passion, and leadership in keeping our club connected to these essential global efforts!

DG Jill Leonard

An update from our District Governor

Sep. 23, 2026

Jill’s passion for Rotary is rooted in Youth Services, including Rotary Youth Exchange, Interact, and RYLA. 
Her District Governor focus, Fuel the Future: Investing in the Next Generation, reflects her belief that Rotary’s greatest impact is not only found in the projects completed today but in the leaders, members, students, and community partners we encourage for tomorrow. 
We had a jam-packed morning, starting with a visit from the Big Kahuna herself, District Governor Jill Leonard. Jill dropped by to share her vision for where Rotary is headed, inspiring us all to keep making magic in our community and proving that people can indeed be that sharp before their third cup of coffee.Speaking of incredible humans, Jill handed out a legitimate Superhero Award to our very own Mark Dixon. No word yet on whether the award comes with a cape but Mark, you have earned every bit of it. Thank you for being an absolute legend in our club.As if the morning was not exciting enough, the Ogopogo family just got a little bigger and a lot better. We are officially welcoming back Elaine C. Elaine is actually one of our original charter members who took a brief hiatus, but like all true Ogopogos, she could not stay away from the fun for long. We are thrilled to have you back home, Elaine.

Make a Splash Duck Races YMCA/H2O
Oct. 03, 2026 12:30 p.m. - 3:30 p.m.
Four members, zero damp socks, and one hundred percent successful ducking around. As the lead sponsor for the Make a Splash Duck Races at the YMCA of Southern Interior BC (YMCA) H2O center, we sent a crew to keep an eye on the ducks. Miraculously, no one fell in, nobody got soaked, and despite high tension, no one went completely quackers.
Meanwhile, another fab four were holding down the fort at the Camp OAC fundraising campaign launch. We manned the construction committee table, enthusiastically explaining rebuild progress, timelines, and proving that Rotarians can look at blueprints without nodding off.
A Tale of Two Co-Presidents: While Trish McLeod was pulling double duty and somehow managing to be in two places at once in Kelowna, our other Co-President, Anne Brunton, sneaked off to Osoyoos for the District 5060 Success Summit. We haven't heard back yet, but for the sake of the club... let's hope she was successful!
Safe to say, it was a wildly busy Saturday for the Rotary Club of Kelowna Ogopogo. Time for a well-deserved nap!
