Our guest speaker was Abigail Bimman from CTV news in Kitchener. She has won a number of awards for her writing including articles on the Women's Prison and on Head Injuries.
She volunteers for the Institute for the Blind as well.
She gave us an inside look at the TV News Business.
She spoke about how ' breaking news' was handled and used the recent fire at Dollerama as an example. Her work often involves spending time in difficult conditions such as inhaling smoke, taking heat from police who do not like her investigating some crimes and also trying to get updates out of persons in charge of the situation.
She was thanked by Mike Lawrie.
At the end of the Meeting John Jonas finally got a little time to present his Hammerschott display and remind the other clubs about Oktoberfest. Yaa.
Twas the night before Oktoberfest and all through the Haus,
Not a creature was stirring not even a mause.
Herr Mamma and Herr Pappa were both snug in their bed,
And visions of summer sausage danced in their heads.
When out in das barnyard there arose such a clatter,
Herr Pappa arose to see what was the matter.
And what to his wondering eyes should appear,
But Jonas' Hammerschott and Twelve Kinds of Beer.
Yaa.
