August 18 Golf Course Lunch Meeting

It was a great turnout at last week's lunch meeting, held at Lakepoint Golf and Country Club.  We had visiting Rotarians from the Okanagan, visitors from the Lower Mainland, as well as spouses and newcomers to the Fort St. John area.  What a beautiful day it was, and a beautiful meeting place to showcase Fort St. John!  I'm sure those who stayed on to golf the afternoon away had relaxing time filled with fellowship and great scores!

Darwin Pimm and others were going to set out riverboating on the following Sunday.  Hopefully those who met up at the Halfway that morning enjoyed a wonderful day on the water!

We have RCMP Constable Biller joining us on Thursday, August 25th to discuss the influence of drug abuse on crime in our community.   

 On September 8th, the guest speaker at our meeting will be District Governor Harry Buddle. Click on this link for some background on DG Buddle:  http://www.clubrunner.ca/dprg/dxprogramhome/_programhome.aspx?did=5370&pageid=26996  Please join us in giving him a warm welcome to our Club.  DG Buddle will be meeting with the executive committee at 10am that morning.

The plans are being set for the Camp-out/Riverboating trip, to be held on Saturday, September 10th.  The boating will include a corn roast upriver, and a camp-out at the Rotary RV Park that evening.  More details to follow in the coming weeks.

Save the dates of October 28th and 29th, for the Rotary District 5370 Conference in Edmonton.  http://www.clubrunner.ca/Portal/SitePages/SitePage.aspx?accountid=50012&pid=47784  If you plan on attending, the Club has a reimbursement policy in place for registration and travel, to a certain maximum.  Please feel free to ask a member of the executive committee for futher details.

Only a matter of days before the 2011 Rotary Mega Lotter is set to start.  Stay tuned for details from Moira and her committee! 

Have a great week, and see you on Thursday!
