Linda – Despite her bad cold, she is feeling a bit better and thanked VP Lennis for chairing the meeting last week..

Lennis – the Kids Safety Village is almost 100% booked for the rest of the school year. The Fire Departments are there one day a week, Go Transit is there one day a week, and the Durham Regional Police Service are there daily – all teaching the children all about the various types of safety.

GUEST SPEAKER:
President Linda circulated some photos of her trip to Rotary Headquarters in Evanston, Illinois, last year at this time. She also circulated a letter that she sent to many institutions and community leaders asking for potential awardees of the Rotary Peace Fellowships. She also showed our members a nice thank you letter from former Oshawa Mayor and fellow Rotarian Bruce and Donna Mackey. She also shared the Oshawa Express article on Devon and Linda Biddle as People of Action.
