d. Other Flag Protocol. Don Mckay shared that a person had commented on our Facebook page that they were interested in being buried with the Canada flag and Don wondered whether there can/should be an allowance for gifting “retired” flags under any circumstances. Blair and others indicated that the correct protocol is for “retired” flags to be burned.
e. Radio Spots. Don will no longer officially be President after July 1 and visiting the radio station on a regular basis as he will be way for part of the summer. There are pre-paid spots available. Doug indicated that the amount we pay for the Rotary radio spots is very reasonable and we should use these spots for pre-recorded messages (eg. CTBO, etc., Clearwater Lake Marathon, etc.).
