Prez Chad hosted the meeting.  Clay did the 4 way test and  I did the Invocation. SAA Graham announced we had 24 members present, 1 visiting Rotarian (Incoming DG Mike Lawrie) and 3 guests (Nicole, Adam, and Elena).

Dennis ran the 50/50 draw. Megan and Marcia both ended up losing. 

Paul T got an unbeatable score at the recent club tournament.  No further clarifications offered.

Paul T won a lottery and is thinking of retirement.  Again no details given.  It's on a need to know basis and I guess I didn't need to know.

 

 

 

 

 

   Paul M was in attendance but did not offer a joke.  Something's wrong.

Rena told us about the Food Truck Festival on Monday Aug 12 at Lang's (1145 Concession Rd), 4:30 to 8:00pm.  Proceeds will support Langs programs.

Leslie reminded us about Best Bites. Tickets are now on sale at www.bestbitestickets.ca.  Date is Sept 8th. Caribbean theme.

Prez Chad reminded us about the BBQ this afternoon at Marcia and Randy's. Party will start up around 5pm.  Address: 194 West River Road.

Prez Chad also announced that we are down to 6 non-paying members.  You  should have received a note from Tom so please get back to him.

Leslie introduced Christine Dainard of Buzz Tours, which takes groups up to about 50 on tours of wineries and breweries in Norfolk County.  The company motto is "Catch the Buzz" (wine, beer, buzz...get it?).  It sounded like fun and Christine got some enthusiastic testimonials and some discussion.  You could say the room was buzzing.  Christine wouldn't guarantee that she would be branching out into cannabis tasting, even though she has the branding nailed down already.

Pres Chad gave his thanks and wrapped up the meeting, but not before Dean made sure we know that the food at the BBQ this afternoon will be amazing Italian cuisine.  See you there!
