Sergeant-at-Arms duties

Sergeant-at-Arms duties were ably performed by Keith Roy - Ken Peppar won the Ace of Clubs draw (but not). Mary ?Stark? won a spirited auction for a bottle of wine donated by Harreson Lovick. Happy/Sad Announcements: We all commiserated with Jackie Read's problem of driving her Mercedes Benz in the snow (awww! poor Jackie). Harreson Lovick briefly outlined a sad/happy (so far) tale of woe: His 85 year old father had a highway auto accident on December 21, driving out from Empress, Alberta & is in hospital in Kelowna. Since he wandered head-on into a semi-trailer truck at night, the initial outcome looked grim, but we are very happy to report that his injuries, though serious, are survivable & he is healing, with the real possibility of a full recovery! Ken Peppar is thankful for the return of his coat & very complimentary to the Arbutus Club employee who personally delivered it to his home. Cyril Parry wishes to do penance for being the absent-minded perpetrator in the incident of the coat. Dr. Muriel Groves related her appreciation & honour at being involved in a joke-telling competition - and winning, although she had to stoop to matching the scatological level of her competitor to do so. Congratulations, Muriel!
