Last week, John Hammill delivered a classification talk in the form of a Q&A; we learned lots of fun facts about John and how Orillia Matters came to be. Tony Telford also provided a Lobsterfest update and the club provided feedback on how we can make the event bigger and better for next year. If you missed the meeting but have ideas, please reach out to Tony directly.
Also thanks to Kirsten and whole Car Show Committee on a very successful show on Saturday!
This Week:
Tomorrow is our Golf Day at Bonaire. Everyone who signed up should now have their tee time and group. If you don't, please reach out to Grant Honsinger. Also please ensure if you haven't already paid, to send the funds to the Rotary General Account through etransfer.
