Meeting of October 29th

A good group of members turned out on the first really dark morning, a preview of Halloween later this week. President Jan announced that members are invited to the re-opening of the Dundas Museum & Archives on Saturday at 11:15 am. There will also be a public open house from 1 pm to 4 pm on November 2nd and 3rd. Jessica stated the three finalist names for the amalgamated high school and asked for feedback on these; Dundas Secondary School, Dundas District Secondary School, or Dundas Valley Secondary School. Bob Morrow reminded members their Foundation contribution was due soon and started the process with his cheque. Visiting New Zealand Rotarian Fergus Cumming presented Jan with a badge from his Club and said his farewells, as he is leaving for home next week.

A joke competition was won, not surprisingly, by Fred Amalfi, who told us of the new Husband store being opened in the neighbourhood. He was presented with a magnificent trophy after a close round of judging.

The Club voted on, and approved, a motion to donate $5000 to the EcoPark project. A motion to support  the larger project  (a description has been circulated to all members) will be voted on next week.
