August 30 Gossip
We did not have a speaker this week so president Al took the extra time to conduct a board meeting (in lieu of the August meeting that was cancelled).
Elisabeth was back with us and looking very healthy.
The Edmonton area Clubs are organising a bus to the Fort McMurray District Conference on September 28 – 30. If you are attending and want to take the bus please contact Ken or Al for details;
Our meeting on October 4th will be with the District Governor;
Kylie reported that Kylie reported that the Paul Shuffelt fundraiser evening for YESS at the Workshop Eatery will be on September 16 not September 9 (as previously reported). Paul has been a great partner for our Winemaker Dinners and she suggests that it would be great to get a group out to support him. If you are interested in going to the event please call Kylie.
