Today's meeting saw 21 members plus guest speaker Hazel Breton. We welcomed back Glen Mumberson from almost three months at his cottage. Of course Glen's first official duty was to distribute Entertainment Books. They are $30 each and if you were not present today you can pick up your Hamilton or Toronto books at your next meeting. Bruce indicated that he is going to have his staff learn CPR. This past week one of his employees was at the gym and suffered a heart attack. The staff there knew CPR and kept him alive.
Fred gave an update on Wayne Migus. Wayne is home after a month in hospital and although he lost significant weight he is starting to gain back his health. Paul and Barbara Clifford are celebrating their 55th anniversary and as is Paul's custom he made a significant donation to the Dundas Valley Foundation to recognize the event.
Shirley reminded everyone of the September 29 community food drive. She also indicated that the GSE team would be here October 14 - 17. Rob Reid saw his daughter off to university, was pleased that inbound youth exchange student Lisa is in Dundas and was proud of his son Andy's movie that is being shown at the Toronto International Film Festival. Bob Bell is enjoying every day now that his kids are off to school; and Jessica is thrilled that her son is in the jazz and voice music program at Mohawk College. Keeping with the opening of school, Phil is pleased that last week is now over and that 4000 students moved into residence. He said it was like an ivory snow commercial with 99 and 44/100 % having a safe week of socializing.
Director of Service Projects Bob Bell presented a cheque for $1500 to Paul Clifford for HARRRP. There were no announcements from president Joe who is in Portugal. Also away is Ken who is in Turkey and Bob Morrow, Wayne Massey and Art who are in China.
Dave Carson continued the excellent speakers program by introducing Hazel Breton from the Hamilton Conservation Authority.
