Meeting of May 28, 2013

We had a small crowd on this rainy morning with only 19 members, Lisa and guest speaker Adrian Dieleman. Today was special for Joe and Paul as they were both celebrating a birthday. Of course, we all sang Happy Birthday to them. As is Paul's custom (as well as many others in the club) he made his donation to The Rotary Foundation on his birthday.

Ross asked for the members' OK to give $510 to Dave Carson for the community garden. We did this because Dave's request was over the $500 limit that chairs can commit without club approval. Dave also read a letter from St. Mark's thanking him and us for rain barrel funds given to the church to help cover cost of the water used for the garden.

Fred, who is looking after a pasta station this year at the lobster/rib dinner, asked his volunteers to be at the arena at noon on June 1 to go through a dry run. Fred was a little startled at how few volunteers were at today's meeting. If you are one of them or want to be one please email Fred and let him know.

Happy Dollars from Bruce who played a couple mid 80 rounds of golf last week and from Joe who is getting used to driving his new home on wheels. Dave then introduced our guest speaker, Adrian Dieleman, who spoke about Ontario Christian Gleaners.
