Jim Mc Pherson traing is over and the bout is set for Next Friday,  Erica was the leader in fund raising for Mac Master Hospital,,   I understand that a replacement for Erica was  found.

 

Todd  introduced Brenda Halloran  who is our current DG.   Todd reminded us all that Brenda became Mayor and had to deal with the aftermath Of MFP Financial fiasco that had to do with the financing of Rim Park.  One cannot help but admire some  one that after  leaving  municipal politics throws her self  in to Rotary to become DG which is more than a one year process.  Hopefully the politics of Rotary are less  stressful,
