9. Board of Directors Report: Inviting bank holding our accounts to present-
It was suggested and approved for Asia Melnyk to join a meeting to discuss
club accounts and options.
10. Unfinished Business:
a. New Home Search – It was approved for the club to meet at the A & W
for 3 weeks (or 4 if a month has 5 weeks) and hold one meeting at
Bjorndahl’s. It was suggested that the Bjorndahl’s date be fixed so both
locations can have confirmed dates in advance. Bjorndahl’s was
suggested as being the last Tuesday of the month.
b. Club labelling at A & W – A & W management is not keen on posting
something in the restaurant proper or on the windows. They are open to
placing some signage that Rotary meets there in the meeting room. Don
McKay looked through CRS Marketing products but nothing seems to
be suitable. We will probably need to go through Contempra unless

c. Doug raised a question about the $3 meeting fee. We no longer pay for a
meeting room so there is no need to collect the $3. It was agreed to
eliminate this.
d. It was suggested that the club consider reducing member cost as
membership fees seem to be a hinderance in acquiring new members.
Currently our $200 membership fee has district costs of 180.70 (?) with
only $19.30 being local. The plan will not be going forward.

and its first meeting of 2026 on Jan 6th. CTBO draw # 16 will occur on Dec 23 with
