Thank you to Frank and Alistair for helping with the breakdown of the many optional fundraisers that were brought to the Club.
They did a lot of work and now we will break it down from 11 to what will be manageable for our club along with SFPP and RIBFEST.
Bats:
John Saremba, at the Rotary Trail at Westhill Park
He took us on a walk to show us the bat boxes, trees that the bat might inhabit, talk about the ecology of the bat and then 20 minutes after sunset use his equipment to help us hear and discover which bats are flying about. Katie York, a terrestial ecologist will be joining us as well.
John, is an environmental scientist whose passion is to share his love and understanding of nature with others. He created the BMN Bat Team, a citizen-science based program to promote the conservation of bats who regularly monitor bats, signs of white nose syndrome and he does bat programs as well. He had a career with the Federal and Provincial Governments working on major indurstrial projects and now does environmental consulting.
It was a special night!

Thank you to Meghan again for a great year and congratulations to Coreen for the coming year. Thank you to Gayle for all the years she has been on the board and will continue to help wherever needed.
