Opening and Sgt @ Arms Report
President Paul opened the meeting and gave a nod of acknowledgement to the Haudensaunee and Neutrals who live here in times past.
Ryan said the 4 way test and Tom$ Everett did the Invocation.
SAA Nancy said we had 24 members present.
And 3 guests. Suzanne McMenemy, Robert Brown and Mike Henhoeffer. I think Mike will be officially joining us at some point.
 
Keith Peers has a birthday...maybe today.
Graham of Birmingham has a birthday on Saturday. We lamented the loss of pride and skills in the pattern and engraving industry. He was cheered up with a Guiness.
On Sunday, Katie has an anniversary. She has two or three but I think this on is her Rotary Anniversary.
 
50/50 Draw
Erica and I messed up Johnny Smooth but he eventually got a round Tuit.
Steve B. and your deaf editor were both Loozers. $220+ in the pot.
Announcements
Rena reminded us of the Kidney Foundation Dinner, coming up. She did send out a Club Runner missive.
Paul T. has planned our Family Xmas Party for November 24th. The kids had a blast last year. We did too. Any suggestions for the entertainment that day?
Nancy is our HIP rep. (helping indigenous peoples) They had their first circle meeting. One Art initiative is collecting old furs which will go back to native people who will remake them into clothing. Nancy wonders if we have any ideas to bring to this committee.
Club Opportunities
Always have opportunities at the club - talk to Pres Paul, Randy Cole, or any Directors to get involved.
 
 
My two bits worth: Talk to a fellow Rotarian at our meetings. I spoke to Rob Cox and found out he is from near Goodwood. (Schitt's Creek)  I lived just to the west of there.  It's up in the booneys and just north of 'shwa.  Wow.
Good news
Erica checked out her place in Florida and it is ok after Milton. Good News and she played some golf.
Paul McMenemy and Suzanne survived their weekend with the grand kids.
Todd is invited to his ex-wife's nephews wedding. His kids are coming too.
Today's Program
Paul McMenemy introduced Tracy Dingwall who did her ' who am I'.
She is the youngest of 3 kids and grew up in Oshawa.
She still gets a warm fuzzy feeling when in 'shwa. Her dad still lives there.
She also loves her present old white clapboard house in KW. She enjoys decorating it and collecting antiques to fix up. She plants flower seeds in teacups and they usually dry up and die. Not surprising when you think about it.
Jack is her dog and BFF.  Definitely a better choice than the human variety.
She has two sons. Trevor is doing firefighting at Conestoga. Jason is younger and good at giving advice to his mom.
Tracy has a masters of Social work and also a degree from Mac in Health Management. So her background is in Health Care.
 She has two companies.
One is HTT which offers counselling. " Here"s the thing...." She likes  Dr Phil's style.
The other is " Love Little Ontario".  This is Tracy's hands- on business. She makes  alphabet letters out of wood and decorates them with colours and lights.  People ?rent or buy these for events.  Imagine dragging two foot long letters behind your car saying ' just married'....etc.
 
Thanked by the Toddler. An as usual he took the opportunity to talk about himself.  He suddenly found himself at the McMenemy Family baseball game. He could not remember why he was there...until it hit him!
 
Be good to one another.
