Guests:

Announcements:
 
  • Stu announced that the purchase and installation of the dish washer for the Centretown Food Centre has been finalized. We will have a meeting at the Food Centre in the next few weeks, Wendy will coordinate.
  • During our next Board of Directors meeting, we will assess how the biweekly meetings went during the winter time.  
  • For the next few months, members responsible for programming are:
         Mike: March
         Wendy: April
          L.A.: May
 
  • Terry proposed a donation of a refrigerator to St. Mary's School. It was voted and approved by all members. Wendy will fill out the form to apply for grants.
  • It was suggested that we invite a representative from St. Mary's to come to one of our meetings. We are interested in becoming more familiar with the programs of St. Mary's as well as  Immaculata School to find out how we can provide more support.
  • Chris reported on the Rummage sale wrap up. At the end, the whole project would have produced around $11,000 for our club.
  • Wendy brought the fact that we should decide if we will continue supporting the payment of one teacher for the school in Kenya from our International Budget. This project does not qualify for simplified grants from the District and takes most of our International budget.  If we continue supporting it, we may have to find additional funding through a fundraising event. We will wait to make a decision later on in the year.
  • Wendy is going to find out about a project the West Ottawa Club is doing to support disable people in Uganda. We may decide to support this project as it is sustainable and would allow us to work with another Club.
  • March 17th, St. Patrick Social Celebration at Stu's house
