Meeting of September 3, 2013

We welcomed Jan Nichols, Sandra Strauss and Gregg Crealock this morning. All three are Rotarians and part of the Dr. Bob Kemp Hospice which was today's program. 

Announcements. From President Jan: The Rotary Foundation Grants Seminar is October 5. Bob Neibert and David Carson will be attending. She also invited anyone else who wants to learn more about grants to attend. The Trevor Garwood-Jones Golf Tournament is coming up in September and she is looking for our club to put in one or two teams to support the Rotary Club of Dundas' new event. From David Lowery: The volunteer list for Art in the Park is filling nicely. There are just a few spots left so if you have not yet put your name down, now is the time. From Jessica Brennan: Telling Tales is just a couple weeks away on September 15. Jessica is collecting new and gently used children's books and has the list of volunteer jobs. Please see her if you can assist with either.

Happy Dollars. Wayne Massey's oldest grandson turned 19 and was entered in a smash-up derby. He is fine. The car is not. Wayne continues to work on getting his daughter's new home remodelled. Good news is it is almost finished and the dog he has been hosting has gone to another home. Kathy Starodub is off to Yellow Knife. Bob Morrow just came through Yellow Knife on his way back from putting his foot in the Arctic Ocean. Ralph is off to New Zealand and Shirley took her granddaughter to Spring Ridge.

Shirley then introduced guest speakers Jan and Sandra. The video on the club website does not come through to First Light. Enter the following into your browser to see the Camp Erin, Hamilton bereavement camp for children and youth. http://youtu.be/0bOE9jhzi64
