Kim had the honour of introducing April McClung.  April learned about Roatery at Chamber event after meeting Bob Gibson.  She came out and now she is an active Rotarian and Co-chair for Dockfest!
April was very witty and candid.  Her journey to Huntsville was interesting and entertaining to hear about.  April was born in Colorado.  That's right April is American.  She is now a Canadian Citizen and how she got here is interesting.  April grew up in a Christian family as the baby.  Her very first job was working with ducks.
Ducks are cute and cuddly right? WRONG for April they were stinky, dirty and gross.  She spent a whole summer vaccinating ducks and she hated every minute of it.  As April aged she had a lot of unanswered questions about faith, God and life.  She went to University to find something.  In reality she found her husband.  During her University years April took courses that interested her with no true focus or major.  When she got married the courses she took qualified her for a degree in Religion.  God and faith have always been a part of April's life but she never enjoyed the church community setup.  April's husband believed God wanted him to setup a non-denominational church in Ontario.  April followed.  How they picked Huntsville was a very interesting story.  Her husband went up on a mountain like Moses in the Bible and prayed for God to give him a sign.  God led a family from Huntsville to him that day and that is the story of how April came to be here.  April's husband (Jeremy) is the Pastor of Muskoka Community Church. In the states April worked in Human Resources.  She loved her field.  When she moved to Ontario she realized that Canada had different laws and instead of starting from the ground up again she decided on a career change.  She spent some time working for Muskoka Seniors and now she works for Investors Group as a financial planner.
Peter Redwood thanked April for joining Rotary and jumping right in and being co-chair of Dockfest!  April is a great addition to our Rotary club and we are all grateful to have her!
