Gloria Beck’s frustrating bucks…pumps went down at the Garden Centre during hot spell over the long weekend but they caught their night visitors who have been swiping from the nursery. Phil Pattison and his wife Brenda will off to celebrate their 30 year anniversary in Jasper. Darcy Mykytyshyn dropped $42 bucks - one for each of the minutes Loretta as in labour last week.. Welcome Nathanial William Mykytyshyn! Don Odell wanted to acknowledge the passing of Herbert Fielding as well; he was a paratrooper, holocaust survivor, orphaned but led a great life.
5050 draw was remarkably won by Anne… $100
It was Annie’s last meeting with our Club. She said a few brief words and expressed how much she enjoyed Red Deer and her host families.
Sergeant Dunham gave us a few great life reminders from George Carlin.
Darcy discussed recent discussions with other Rotary clubs in Southern Alberta and relief efforts and upcoming Strategic Planning by the board for our club. The relatively quick meeting ended with thanks to the Red Deer Country Club staff.
