Getting to Know Francine
Francine was born in Leduc and has lived in Edmonton for over 30 years. She loves playing bingo, baking, and travelling + camping in the rocky mountains. She has been involved with Rotary for about 10 years. Her favourite part about Rotary is the friendship – being able to see the same people each week and build those relationships. A fun fact about Francine is that she loves cats! She will often petsit for her friends and has a cat named Roger.
