Today was a busy day for the Club. First we thank Ralph for stepping in at the desk and for Jan acting as our Sergeant at Arms. We welcomed today our guest speakers Laurel Thompson and Helen Dam from Able Sailing.
Our first order of business was to install Scott Vance as a member of our club. Scott's classification is wholesale distribution. Bill is his sponsor.
Welcome Scott.
HAPPY DOLLARS this week included some from Grant as he was not charged anything (!) by Eccles for some adjustments to his wife's car. Dave Carson was glad to make it safely back to Canada after a false start on a brand new plane. The flight was 4 hours delayed due to the triggering of an escape chute just before take off.
Safe flight once in the air thankfully. Laurel, one of our guests , thanked us for our $500 donation to Able Sail and Shirley was thankful for 5 good days. Ross was happy to be back and Mieke for her winning hockey team ( aka as the Habs…yeah!) . Wayne is pleased that the Income Tax Act which was temporary when first put out, is more and more complex and challenging for us non accountants! Phil was happy to see the greens being trimmed, Steve was hoping the Raptors will do better this next game he is attending, and Ralph reported he played 37- 9 hole games while in Florida, as well that Barb is recovering well. Never mind that his car wouldn’t start and is being towed today (Eccles?? Free? Let us know next week….Bruce you better get back here soon).
