  • President Cal Meikljohn, introduced our speaker Don Michiel, who spoke about Rotary Membership.  Don spoke about the fact that more females are being introduced to Rotary and becoming members.  He spoke of the importance of being a sponsor and mentor to not only bring new members to the Club but to ensure their retention.  Under the Membership umbrella are The Recruitment Committee and Retention Committee who are busy helping to drive our numbers up and keep them there. As Don turns 71 on his next birthday, that is the goal for membership before the end of the Rotary year.  Brian Hughes spoke of our upcoming speaker on August 20th, Kelsey Cox, who is the District 5060 Scholar.  She spoke at the International Rotary conference in Australia. Don't miss this meeting and please bring your partner and any potential new members.

  • Sheriff: Rory McIvor as Sheriff levied a few fines. Of course Don Michiel was one of the first to pay a fine for all the fines he levied on Rory.  He also got a few fines from the Rotarians who had not paid their dues as yet.

  • Draw: The draw today was for  $10.  The winning ticket belonged to Lori Motluk who drew the joker from the new deck!  She was already walking on air with the announcement of the hospital expansion so the $10 was just another win for her.
