June 22nd Meeting
Hello Everyone,
 
I hope everyone is doing well. 
 
1) Attached is the agenda for our meeting this Thursday at 6:30pm. I hope you can make it as we say goodbye to our outgoing board and welcome the incoming one. 
 
2) If anyone is able to volunteers a few hours of your time on Canada Day, the 'Stratford Celebrates 150' committee still have lots of slots still available. Here is the sign-up link http://signup.com/go/MQrh4M. Thank you for your consideration.
 
3) Lawn Summer Nights is a fun lawn bowling tournament to raise money for Cystic Fibrosis. There are fundraising prizes as well as a silent auction. As the event is run entirely by volunteers there are no administration fees that come out of the funds raised. All funds raised (other than costs to run the event) go to Cystic Fibrosis Canada. The event begins at 5pm with a complimentary light supper (donated by a local food sponsor) before the bowling begins. It is also a 19+ licensed event. Money from bar sales, again goes back to CF Canada. Liquor sponsors include Steam Whistle Beer and Junction 56. We also have a bunch of local business sponsors that are offering discounts to teams, such as Gordon's Men's Wear and Mercer Hall which is promoting a signature cocktail made of Junction 56 gin.  
 
July 10th - White Night pop-up event is now sold out, but spots are still available on July 24th (it's a Monday night).  Maybe this is something we can do as a group? We will discuss at our meeting.  (see the poster attached below)
