Page Launched Ahead of Dream Auction

Kalamalka Rotary Club launches new Facebook page following hack

Oct 30, 2024 | 11:06 AM

The Kalamalka Rotary Club is back on social media.

The non-proft group’s Facebook page was hacked and flooded with adult content earlier this month, and, despite filing complaints with the social media company, the issue was not resolved and the group could not regain access.

The hack also occurred as the club was preparing for its 40th Annual Dream Auction, which is its largest fundraiser of the year and supports a range of projects and initiatives.

Since then, the Kal Rotary has launched a new Facebook page, which can be seen here.

“It’s been a very frustrating experience, especially since our gala Dream Auction is only weeks away. We’ve been posting regularly to keep the community up to date on ticket sales and auction items,” Faith Wood, chair of the Kalamalka Rotary 40th Anniversary Dream Auction, said.
