Quilt Show - April 14 and 15 at Trillium Manor Avoid the line ups- get your tickets early. $5 for ladies and FREE for the gents! put on by the Orillia Quilter's Guild. They sent us lovely bookmarks but we think that Scott stole one to give to Shelley for Valentines' Day! Please complete the Fireside Chat Survey if you have not already done so! We'll send the link one more time. Aquatheatre - time to make some decisions! Do we want to be involved? The City is spending $225 to put in a new floor, roof and paint. There's lots left to do. The cocktail club voted almost unanimously to move this project forward. Now that you've said you want it...time to volunteer on the committee to make it happen. Let Allan know if you are willing to help. The Lunch group discussed serving a dinner at The Lighthouse. The club enthusiastically agreed. Next steps - We will select a date and bring the opportunity to both meetings to recruit volunteers. Andrew let the lunch group know that the Vocational committee will be supporting Junior Achievement this year. Reminders! March 6 - Axe throwing 7-9 pm - bring partners - $36 each (should have signed up when it was still $35!) - they are licensed (the axe throwing place, not the partners!) Sign up deadline this Friday (used to be March 5!) If you say you are coming, please come. They are opening just for us! Rotary Weekend is April 13 and 14 in North Bay. For first time attendees, the club will pick up half your hotel tab and half your conference registration. Talk to Marilyn. More club members=more fun. Learn about rotary, meet Rotarians from other clubs, dine and drink! (and did someone say dancing?) Allan continues to plan for the Aquatheatre. |

Angela was fined for hugging instead of 4 way testing! The editor would like someone to fine Sarge Greg next week for this totally uncalled for fine. What the world needs now, is hugs, sweet hugs, that's the only thing there's just too little of." (Wouldn't that make an awesome song?)
Paula brought back a flag from a Rotary club in Barbados - where they combine our two clubs' passion, with liquid at lunch meetings!
Mark is pleased to have the Saturday of student weekend off; that Monday is family day (and he has the day off) and that Karen got tickets to Bruno Mars (will Karen be taking Mark...we're not sure!).jpg?_=636545591803049980)
After imbibing, the cocktail group feasted on fabulous food provided by our guest speaker Christopher Marinakos.
