Happy Bucks
 
  • Ed Gramiak handed over a H.B. for the Bombers and their consistent winning.
  • Nancy Morris was happy to have been able to cash in $12 worth of beer bottles for Polio+ this week. Keep the bottles and cans coming.
  • President Mandy had a great vacation spending time with her sister from Seattle as well as Brian’s family from Texas. Folklorama was fantastic.
  • Elaine Thompson enjoyed two weeks of Folklorama (not every night). The U.K. Pavilion was surprising. The average age of the performers was 13.
  • Brian Campbell also enjoyed Folklorama with family. On Thursday night they went to Mexico for a Day of the Dead celebration. A grand daughter really is into this type of thing, so she had a great time. They actually sat with Darvin and his family. Their grand daughters had a fantastic time together!
  • Chuck Crocker was just happy to be back, but a cold continues to haunt him!
  • Rod Delisle had a great time camping at Rushing River, east of Kenora.
  • Paul Brault is back from a wonderful 2 weeks of vacation. His son must now return to China. All the protests in Hong Kong are a bit of a worry, but he was able to fly directly to mainland China, so happy about that.

50 / 50
 
Acting Sarge Darvin asked our guest, Sheila, to pull the potential winning ticket stub. She pulled # 245. Now, this number just happened to belong to her husband, Joel! No, the ‘fix’ was not in…he did not manage to pull the blue marble. Nancy Morris offered a consolation prize tonight – a T-shirt from Turning Leaf.
 
Fines
 
Sarge had no fines tonight.
President Mandy advised that next week will be called ‘Rotary Service Fair’. She will be talking about the various ways a Rotarian can get involved with their club, community and international service.
