Thank you to Peter Muir for the notes from this meeting and to Gayle, Brian & Yvonne for the photos.
With Starbucks' coffee and Divano's muffins Ian presided over our off-site meeting at Brave Brewing - Site B and was well attended.
Amber Miller, Engagement Specialist at Traction on Demand provided us with an overview of Brave Brewing - Site B operations.
Site B was to be their brewery location but with the purchase of The Bakery Brewery, now called Brave. The future is bright for Site B as it will be an open concept location for events and office rentals for community associations, local businesses and the public.
They are community oriented. One initiative is working with the City and PoMo Arts on future endeavours. They have a trailer with two meeting rooms, a food truck and a coffee/beer trailer. Site B is still in the planning stage but is available for special events.
Amber talked about the company's exciting vision going forward.
We are planing to make use of the space for Ribfest bar training.

I wanted to provide you with an update on the Last Mile Program in Ukraine with regards to the latest fundraising campaign for Generators. 
I received this information this morning from Dmytro in Kyiv, including the photos that I have attached below.
The $29,730 Canadian that we raised in this second fundraising campaign was transferred to the Rotary Club of Oberstdorf Germany in mid December and converted to 20,494 Euros. The Rotarians there managed to buy 2 generators, one smaller 11 kwt generator for 5,434 Euros (see upper left photo) and one larger 14 kwt generator for 9,989 Euros (upper right photo and lower right photo). They have just over 5,000 Euros left for purchase of a further generator.
The two purchased generators are now in Eastern Ukraine where the largest one is being used in a kitchen (lower left photo) providing meals for homeless refugees. The other one is more mobile and is being used to provide power during unexpected power outages.
Thanks again for all your generosity, as it is providing warmth and comfort to some Ukrainian citizens.
