Meeting of May 27, 2014

Twenty-seven members and guests were present this morning not including Joe and Irene who dropped by to make donations to the upcoming lobster rib fest. We welcomed William Playdon guest of Marnee, Pam Mulholland guest of Ken, and Kelton Freidrich our guest speaker. Happy upcoming birthday to Joe.

Bill asked for and received the members' OK to donate $1000 to Dundas Community Services. He also indicated that he had plenty of auction items but was still accepting more. Glen thanked everyone for the 40 or so bottles of wine for the draw. Please give him your ticket money and any unsold tickets. We need those unsold tickets to be sold at the door to walk ins. Don't just return the tickets to the meeting next Tuesday! Give them to Glen before the event starts.

Ken met a couple from Toronto at the Dundas Museum who purchased a house in Pleasant Valley as their "weekend home". They like the Valley Town so much that it is now a place for them to vacation. Shirley's exchange student is off to Algonquin Park for the leadership camp. That leaves she and Mike alone to celebrate his upcoming birthday.

Bruce went golfing for the first time this spring and was happy with his game. Probably not as happy as Barbara who recently retired and returned from vacationing in France.

Phil then introduced guest speaker Kelton Freidrich who was later thanked by David Carson.
