Bill explained that he was feeling unwell and didn’t want to share his germs (Thanks Bill!!) and welcomed Matthew and Elva who were also on Zoom. He reminded the club the Brian was looking for help with the upcoming baking night (Tuesday, December 7^th) and that next week was our last regular meeting for the year, though we will have our Christmas Social on December 20^th.

 

Heather further explained that tickets are $25 and there will be food catered at the event, a gift basket with $5 tickets and two drink tickets included. Please sign up by December 13^th so that they can know numbers for the catering.

Lastly, an envelope went around at the meeting for cash gifts to the Paddy’s staff and it will be available again next meeting for collection.

 

Rick confirmed we did have a quorum for the AGM.

Bill did a Presidents Report verbally, most reports were circulated via email, and a few comments were made on those reports. As a part of his report for Valley Faces, Phil presented a cheque to the club for $30,000!

 

 

The reports were accepted by the club, the financial report was approved and Morse, Brewster, Lake was appointed as the auditors once again.

For the nominating committee, Phil then presented the slate of directors and called for nominations from the floor three times. There were none, so the club voted the presented names in as directors.

Finally, there was a motion to close the AGM.

 

 

Supporting the humanitarian grants programs, the Cadre of Technical Advisors is a group of volunteer Rotarians who provide technical expertise and advice to Rotarians planning and carrying out Rotary grant programs around the world. Cadre members serve in countries other than their own, and they conduct on-site project visits for two to three days with written reports upon their return. The Rotary Foundation pays for a per diem and roundtrip air-fare.

The cadre is in need of Rotarians qualified in the following fields: Health, Education/Literacy, Small Business/Revolving Loans (micro credit), and Financial Auditing (chartered accountants and certified public accountants), and more. Individuals fluent in French, Spanish, Portuguese, and other language skills are welcome as well.

For more information, visit the cadre’s page on My Rotary or email cadre@rotary.org.

Chase the Ace:

Ellen won the lucky ticket… and no luck!!! So it’s a roll over!!

 

Heather added in Illness Reports:

Matthew updated the club from Zoom that he was recovering from his concussion and whiplash with lots of help from his partner and health care providers, but it was a slow journey. He is hoping to attend in person next week.

 

Heather and the club read the 4-Way Test and adjourned.

 

See you next week!
