Opening and Sgt at Arms Report

Posted on Oct 22, 2020

President Heidi opened the meeting at 12:36 -

Unfortunately, I was so determined to record the exact time the meeting was called to order... that I missed recording who 'performed' the 4-Way Test...

Past President Erica T. read a short invocation; and apparently the podium is getting taller...

Past President Jim J. provided the S@A report:

- 19 real live members

- 4 virtual members

- Laurie Hawkens, guest of Rena H.

- Mark Kinsmen, guest of the club

- Chris Ainsworth, guest of the club, guest speaker, and past member!

50-50 Draw

Posted on Oct 22, 2020

Johnny on the Spot said there is $510 in the pot - Dean B pulled the first ticket... and he was either attempting to keep us in suspense, or, he's just a slow reader...

The first ticket drawn belonged to.... Past President Paul T. Cody! but alas.... he was a loser...

The second ticket, drawn by Past President Paul T. Cody, belonged to... Past President Paul T. Cody!! but alas, he kept his loser streak alive!

Good News

Posted on Oct 22, 2020

- Past President Jim McP was burning along the 407 in his hot little classic Mustang - getting lots of attention - he was smokin'!

- PPJM also said he and Past President Erica T. had a great game of tennis this morning - it's a great sport during COVID as it's easy to keep your distance - as long as your balls are clean, you're good to go!

- Randy C. was pleased to be added to Past President Paul T. Cody's foursome (or 'end')(or 'team')(whatever is appropriate for curling....)

Program

Posted by Todd Lyons on Oct 22, 2020

Sponsorship and Event's Manager at r.a.r.e. Charitable Reserve, Chris Ainsworth, spoke with us today.

- Chris is a past member of our club, and a current member with the Rotary Club of Kitchener-Westmount

Today's presentation centred around the environment, and the general health of our planet.

RARE has many programs, all either research, or educational. World governments attempt to set goals for conservation of our planet, but inevitably miss those targets, only to set new ones; stretching them out further each time.

We, and the planet, are running out of time

RARE has many opportunities for community involvement; something we may get involved in in the future.
