Meeting of May 14, 2013

We welcomed Aleta Agpalo as a guest of the club. Aleta is working with membership director Derek as she learns more about joining the club. As well, Lynne Gates was present to accept the club's support for Little Hats That Grew.

Happy Birthday to Wayne Migus who also asked us for more wine for the June 1 draw. Bill reminded the lobster/rib committee of the meeting today at 5:00 p.m. at the Rotary Centre. Youth Exchange student Lisa circulated a sponsorship form for the Niagara-on-the-Lake event. Derek asked all volunteers to be at the Rotary Rink in the park by 6:30 p.m. on May 19, and Jan asked volunteers to wear the white jackets that Ken provided.

Joe asked board members to be at the monthly board meeting which is this Wednesday May 15. Note the location has been changed. It is now at his office on Moxley Road. Also, remember the June 9 awards dinner in Depew NY. Go to the district website and register if you are interested in attending. Fred informed us that there would no longer be mussels at the lobster dinner. This is being replaced with pasta stations.

And one big happy dollar from Bruce who has his first grandchild - Thomas Frederick.

Ralph thanked all the volunteers who helped with the Shredding Day on the weekend. A special thanks to Bruce and Scott Eccles who provided the site and the sign boards. The truck arrived at 8:00 a.m. and finished around 2:30 p.m. Here Bob, Derek, Ken and Joe wait for the shredding truck to return from emptying its load. The first truck was filled and another 2700 pounds went into the next load. When the invoice is in from Integra Document Destruction that donated the truck for the first four hours, we should clear around $2000 and made a lot of people happy that they could safely get rid of those personal papers.
