Meeting of March 19th

Today we welcomed guests Jeff Kozac (Dundas Little League), Lisa Kammerer (Rotary Exchange), Rev Linda Nash (Speaker)  and Anna Schaeffer.

The meeting started with a presentation by Bob Bell to Jeff Kozac of a cheque in support of Dundas Little League. Jeff told us how this helped teach the joys of baseball to upwards of 300 children and how greatly they appreciated the support of Sunshine Rotary.

Announcements and Happy Dollars

Sergeant at Arms announced that last week was George Gould's birthday, though we don't know how he celebrated it! President Joe reminded us of the Rotaract Fundraising dinner on April 5th, the District Assembly on May 4th and the Board Meeting tomorrow. George reminded us of the need for helpers at the annual Fireworks display  - please let him know how you can help fill positions such as traffic direction, sales, money counting, etc.  Former President Shirley reminded us of the Paul Harris dinner on April 9th - she needs an RSVP from all who intent to go so she can notify numbers to the Golf Club. And BillArmstrong continues to look for Lobsterfest Silent auction items.

Happy dollars were received from just three people ( I guess all the other happy people were in Florida??). Shirley was very happy for the successful outcome from her daughter's emergency appendicitis operation last week. Bob Morrow was back from TWO!! cruises, one of which he said was work....Bob compared his cruise ship with the Aquitania on which he came from the UK in 1948 when it was still fitted out as a troop ship. Nothing compared with the Allure of the Seas (which Wikipedia says is the largest cruise ship ever constructed) - Bob said even he could not check out all the bars on the ship. Finally, Viola was happy to be back after an illness which has increased her empathy with sick people.
