Meeting of July 2, 2013

Jan and her daughter Jennifer set each table with Rotary napkins, horns and noise makers and jazzy centre pieces to help usher in the new Rotary year. Guests today were Jennifer Evans, Gui Richard and Cathy Lensen.

Jan informed us that Dave Carson, this year's Sergeant-at-Arms, was absent this morning as he is in the hospital having his gall bladder removed. We wish him well.

Happy dollars from Irene who just returned from a Baltic cruise, and Barbara who was in Ottawa celebrating with family over the announcement that her sister will be receiving the Order of Canada. Barbara also thanked club members who volunteered for the Waterdown/Flamborough AM Ribfest over the long weekend. Bob Morrow noted that this coming Friday will mark the 50th anniversary of the day he proposed to Lynne, and Paul thanked the golfers who played in the HARRRP tournament last week.

After the cheque presentation to Dundas Community Services and the installation of the new board, the club inducted its first new member of the year followed by President Jan's address to the club.
