A good crowd came out on a fine sunny September morning. We welcomed back Art Samson, man of steel, who was mobile again after a hip replacement 6 weeks ago. 

Announcements

President Jan congratulated the Club on the outstanding success of the Art in the Park activities. She thanked all the members who worked on it, particularly Ken Beel and Derek Price who have worked tirelessly for the past year to prepare the show.

Bill Armstrong proposed two donations from the Community Fund - to the Routes Youth Centre and to the Dundas Food Bank. Both donations were approved by the club members present. The will be officially presented at the Dundas Stars event on November 9th.

Jessica Brennan reminded everyone that the Community of Dundas has been asked to vote on the name of the new combine High School. Please go onto the school board website and make your suggestions.

Happy Dollars

Art was glad to be back with titanium in his leg - Barb Busing said today would have been her mother's 100th birthday and she and her siblings were all talking and remembering today. Fred celebrated his wedding anniversary with a novel way of accumulating the number of years of marriage. We also celebrated Dave Matchett's birthday and the wedding anniversaries this week of Ross, Shirley, Dave (again).
