We had our social time, exchanging greetings and checking on each other’s health, and allowed seven o’clock to pass while we visited.  Once Les checked in, Veronica said we could begin and called the meeting to order at 7:05.  Leon played a version of O Canada which showed our flag waving in sunlight, while some sang, more watched, and all enjoyed.
     Announcements:  Rotary Opens Opportunities; this is Economic and Community Development month (see the PAJ for DG Carol’s message); the 50/50 Mega Draw has now reached $38 860 in sales; regrets from Jim See.
     We welcomed Peter Tam, a Rotarian from Haney, to perform and entertain at our meeting.  Peter says it is now his mission to create enjoyment through music, and he played and sang several songs for us.  He spoke about his life after he decided to go into music, and said all his original music is now over the internet, not on CDs.  We were treated to the world premiere of “One Day in Your Eyes” and Peter agreed to a request to sing “Rocket Man.”  Click October 8, 2020 to see screenshots.  
      We received a report from the Public Image Committee and can expect to see changes to our website and Facebook pages.  Wayne and Jonah are posting weekly updates on the website, and Veronica is hoping to work a little magic there as well.
  Foundation chair Wayne read the Rotary Foundation announcement for this week.  Click on What is a Rotary Foundation Benefactor?  to read the information.
     Happy and sad dollars were pledged, we raised our glasses and cups in a toast to Canada, and the meeting was done.
