b. Northern View Lodge Financial Assistance Request – Gerry is looking further into this, and if there is no updated information
within a reasonable time, we will have a defibrillator machine purchased through Costco and donate it to the Lodge. Michael
checked the cost of the machines at Costco, and it is considerably less than the quote the Lodge had been provided. We will
want to ensure proper training for use of the machine takes place in advance of it being installed. Gerry mentioned that Trent
Allen is also involved and assisting with this project.
MOTION: Kent Whaley/Don Dunnigan: That The Rotary Club of The Pas purchase a defibrillator for Northern View Lodge. Carried.
