Meeting of July 30, 2013
We had a good crowd today including Keith Green from the Dundas RC, Alycia Moore a guest of Carl Fraser, Bernadette Curtis a guest of Art Samson, and Dayton Bell our guest speaker. SAA Dave Carson wished Barry Stoltz a belated Happy Birthday and did his regular feature, "On This Day". The 1966 event caught the attention of Ken and Derek who knew right away that England won the World Cup. Bob Morrow even knew the score was 4 - 2.
President Jan read letters from Olivia Schuir, the Parkside High School student who received the Ken Turner Award and from DG Kevin Crouse as a follow up from his club visit. David Lowery, recently returned from England asked for volunteers for Art in the Park; secretary Wayne Migus reminded everyone that dues are due and to remit next week if still in arrears. Ralph asked for a commitment one way or the other from everyone regarding the August 25 family picnic. There are still a few members who have not emailed him. He also informed members that Barry's father suffered a stroke on the weekend and is in hospital.
There were plenty of Happy dollars. Carl Fraser just returned from the east coast where he visited his mother in NB and then drove to NS to play golf on the Cabot Links golf course. Having a caddie is obviously not about the type of car he was driving! Keith Green thanked Ken, George and Derek for helping out at the museum renovations with their handiwork. He also said the Rotary firetruck is available for club use. Ken Beel, after hearing what Carl's caddie made decided he wanted to be a caddie. Barb Busing was pleased that her son is engaged to his long-time girlfriend; Irene Pasel's son just completed his MBA with honours; and, David Lowery has his granddaughter staying with him.
George Gould is in the good books with Lise. They watched the Bachelorette show and saw that the resort where the show was taped is the same one that they recently stayed at when celebrating their 25th anniversary. And past president Joe who has been away in Portugal most of June and July is off to NF in his newly purchased deluxe RV.
