Presentation by Janine Carroll for Founders Day and Genealogy:

Founders Day began in 2004 celebrating 100 years of Main Street Camrose
Next year will likely be the last one but the celebration will change into another historical event.
D.R. Francouer is being honored. He is credited with paving main street and was one of the Top 100 entrepreneurs who built the province of Alberta.
Camrose had the highest number of votes per capita in favour of prohibition (1915). If you were caught drunk and disorderly in the streets, you got 3 months of hard labour.
Janine is the current president of the Genealogical Society and works at the museum. Next year is the 50 year celebration of the Camrose Museum.

Grant Gillette gave a brief preview of an upcoming presentation on medical marijuana. A great resource to view is the Dr. Sanjay Gupta documentary on weed.

Next week’s meeting is a Club Assembly.

50/50 pot is $403 and the winner is Paul Pedersen who drew a 6 of Diamonds.
