President Cheryle introduced guests Itala Charur and Wayne Holoboff. Itala was our club's first Exchange Student in the inaugural year 2003 from Mexico and Wayne was a charter member then and a host family to Itala. She gave a summary of what has gone on in her life, finishing school this year, and was delighted to be back in Osoyoos.  Sarah was off to Yellowstone with Marieze and Garnett so missed her.

This was a club business meeting with Club Committees as the main discussion. Cheryle reviewed the Committees, the chairs and who had volunteered to each so far. They are Fundraising, Gifting/Granting, Service Projects, Public Relations and Youth Exchange - if you haven't indicated your preference as yet, you might want to do so in the next week before you are assigned to one. A list will then be published by the end of the month. 

 There was some discussion on Fundraising with the outcome that we will take on the Golf Tournament ($13,000+ last year), Coyote beer concession  ($1000),  the Cactus Jalopy beer garden ($1200) and the Desert Half-Iron ($500) over this year.

 Harold shared pictures of his antique car entry in the Canada Day parade emblazoned with flags and the Rotary emblem. He and Audrey  looked very spiffy dressed in period costumes ... well done Harold!

There were 7 volunteers from our club helping out with the Osoyoos Desert Half-Iron event on the weekend.  Good fun, although chief cheerleader Harold is to work on Vaughan's enthusiasm! This was a shared staffing with Oliver - all ours next year!

Itala drew Jim's ticket but alas....... 

 Board meeting is next Thursday at 6:00 at McKia's....everyone welcome.
