Meeting of February 12 2013
Where have all the snowbirds gone???? Today, we had a great meeting, but our numbers were down! Lots of folk away, escaping the cold.
We were joined today by four guests – PDG Bob Bruce, Aleta Agpalo (guest of Derek Price), and PDG John and Cora Van Laar (guest speakers)
Reminders – Ice Carnival is this Saturday and we need assistance from noon to four. The program looks fantastic but we will need some hands on deck to assist with the operation; don’t worry about not knowing what to do … someone will direct you!
Dave Matchett is walking in the World Water Day walk (March 23); there is still time to sponsor Dave on his walk. Another reminder of the two galas on the 22nd of February – Routes and HARRRP; and another one the following night for Haiti.
PDG Bob Bruce thanked the club for their contributions to the Rotary Foundation; already we are at $200 per member and we hope also to be a EREY club.
Fred Amalfi filled in for president Joe Guedes and for Bill Armstrong as SAA. Bill’s mom died yesterday at the Hamilton General Hospital; the club expresses its deepest sympathy to Bill, Marilyn and family. Bill has been a wonderful, caring son over the past few years with both mom and dad in local nursing homes.
