Announcements and Sgt at Arms

Announcements President Bill ceded the floor to our guest from Bristol, Mike Cooper. Mike reported that one of the fund raising projects of his club is a booklet of 25 original graces that are designed for a variety of occasions. The booklet is available for sale, for $10 CDN. Mike said he had copies available for any member who might be interested. President Bill announced that the Directors' meeting will be held next Monday at 6 pm, at the usual place. President Bill also noted that the bulletin e-mailed to all members each week contains not only the list of speakers for future meetings, but also the dates for upcoming events. Sergeant at Arms Keith Roy performed the duties of the Sergeant at Arms. Mary Watson won the wine draw and Cyril Parry won the 50/50 draw, but failed to draw the ace of clubs. Keith curtailed the happy dollars segment of the agenda in favour of our guest speaker.
