1. The topic of conversation today was the legalisation of marijuana in Canada! I doubt that that will change the lifestyle for the vast majority of our members.
2. We were joined by Kathe Debenham and Morgan Lapiere from the U of A Rotaract Club. They invited our members to consider signing up to participate in their mentorship program. They will match you up with a U of A student. They will match up members to Rotaracters  who share similar career, commitment and charity experience, goals and interests. They also invited us to join them at their annual meet and greet on mix and match mixer  event( email rotaract@ualberta.ca for more information)

• 6:00pm-8:00pm

3. Dave Dorcus gave another entertaining Trivia contest fine collection. His questions were all about debunking myths.
4. Judy presented President Dave with his presidential hat.
5.  No formal meeting on October 24 but if you feel you need your “rotary fix” some of us will meet in the restaurant for breakfast.

• At the performance, we are planning to have extensive information available about our club, our projects (Mozambique), and Rotary in general.
• We are going to invite the military community to attend through the Military Family Resource Centre - a cross-section of our community that we have not really tapped into for new members.
• We are going to encourage Gateway members to bring guests that they think might make a good Rotarian.
• Deb Jack has a friend in Calgary who is the creator of the memory project in Calgary with the crosses on Memorial Drive (Deb has more details on this.  He is being honored by the PPCLI with a 21 gun salute for his efforts this year as he is named Citizen of the Year.
• Deb has asked him to come and speak to our club at our meeting on November 7 in the morning, then a shortened version at the start of the play - where Dave Keam will also speak about Gateway and what Rotary does in the world - to encourage the guests to learn about Rotary during the intermission and chat to a member.
• We know you usually get a speaker for the Remembrance Day meeting but are hopeful this will work just as well as November 7 is our meeting closes to Remembrance Day.
• ......whew - that is about all of it!  coffee if you have time - would be nice to catch up!  Deb can fill in the spots about the fellow from Calgary.
