The room was buzzing today with 24 members and one guest - Maggie the catering queen. It was probably the weather news that today was going to be the hottest of the year in Hamilton.

Announcements

Jessica Brennan asked as many as possible to volunteer for Telling Tales at Westfield Heritage Village on Sunday September 15. 

George announced the date of the Dundas Stars event this year - to be held on Saturday November 9th.

David Lowery reminded everyone of the need to make Art in the Park a big success on Sunday September 22nd - if you haven't volunteered, be ready for the call.

Happy Dollars

Fred was fined for bringing his mobile billboard and parking it outside East Side Mario's today. Joe was happy to have returned from his road trip but would not reveal the dent in his bank account from the all diesel fuel used by his palace on wheels. Glen was also happy to have returned from his summer cottage but a little perturbed to find his name deleted from the membership roll. Bruce said the Ancaster Rotary Golf tourney last Sunday was a fabulous well attended event - the 16th year with fine weather. Apparently Ralph has made it to New Zealand and was already sampling NZ wines when he woke Bob Morrow up at 5:30am this morning. Carl was happy to celebrate his wedding anniversary  this week while George Gould was back at work as a temporary VP at school to pay for a new kitchen. Rob Reid was under pressure as he had just moved without enough preparation due to a vacation in San Francisco - and none of his furniture fits.
