The meeting started with a presentation of a check to our partner for this year’s Winemaker Dinner proceeds Mckay Avenue School. The check was accepted for the school by our own Cindy Davis

 

One our guests this morning was Pat Coyle’s daughter Sarah. Sarah is a grade 5 teacher. Her class won a $500n award for a eco awareness video. Our club then donated some funds to the class to fund a bus trip to Telus World of Science. Sarah attended our meeting to thak us on behalf of her class.

 

Al Stuart reported that he had attended his first Robust Reds Committee meeting and he was impressed with their commitment and professionalism. He then encouraged us all to get out and sell at least 10 tickets each. This year’s Robust Reds promises to be bigger and better than ever.

 

Kylie gave us some insight into this year’s Robust reds planning;

  1. Tickets are available now
  2. There will be an early bird draw for all ticket holders who purchase before August 1st;
  3. The committee plans to have members visit all Edmonton area Clubs and invite them to attend. There are too many clubs for the committee so they are looking for volunteers from the general membership to participate;

Lorne is back from Africa. He reports that the Xia Xia and Pusa schools are thriving. More information to follow.
