• Friday June 19 was the last meeting chaired under President Lydia’s “gavel”. One of her last duties was to consider how the club should prepare for eventual in-person meetings.  A short survey to hear your thoughts will be distributed on July 03 at Carlos O’Bryan’s and, for those not attending that day, via email.  It will ask you about your preferences for meetings, dates, types, and your post-lock-down feelings.  Please return these to Lydia.  The Membership Committee and the Executive will use your feedback to consider how to proceed.
 
  • Congratulations to Leigh Higinbotham.  He has been appointed District Policy Chair.  Leigh will work with the District Governor Team and District Committee Chairs to establish their policies and procedures.  We are very proud of you Leigh.
 
  • Joy, Michael C. and Lydia have been working on an article for the Rotarian Magazine about the El Salvador Project.  Lydia has finished the writing and Michael is working on photos.  Joy is the accuracy editor.  Fingers crossed, but there is no guarantee it will be published.
 
  • Dues notices are out.  Please make your payments to Lana well before June 30 so we can pay our International dues invoice in a timely manner.
 
  • A special commendation to our new member Jean Gardner, who joined our Zoom meeting from her car while she and her husband were travelling through Whistler on their way back to their cabin at Anderson Lake.  What dedication to attendance!
 
  • Several members joined the Burnaby Club’s meeting at 1:00 to hear speaker Dr. Choi on the subject of Fear during COVID-19.
