           6.  Presentations : none

7. Correspondence : Rotary International Convention early bird pricing, Honoring Indigenous Peoples program to be looked at by the Board. Peter Imhoff has asked for our decision on supporting Pauingassi. It was decided at the last board meeting that the club would not be participating this time around.

     a. Catch The Big One – Round 6 generated $57 662.50 in income. Expenses have not been totalled. The final accounting will occur later on. There was discussion

during the meeting about CTBO sales. Sales at business locations are down and majority of sales are sold by Rotarians. Discussion about Point of Sales POS devices and on line platforms came up. Some people using e transfer to sell remotely will write out the ticket and sent the buyer the image. At least one seller said the buyers said the image was not necessary.  Online sales would require a change in the lotteries application and then proofing a suitable platform. The purchaser must receive a receipt but also know what number they have chosen.  The process used to purchase Bill Bannock entry was put forth as an example. No change to the application is required for POS sales or sales involving e transfer if the ticket is filled out by the seller. It was suggested that sellers record phone numbers of purchasers and contact them in subsequent draws to see if they wish to purchase again. There was also discussion of volume purchasers receiving a discounted price - buy four tickets and receive a fifth free for example.

*We will not be giving money to the Honouring Indigenous Peoples Program.

*Dues in January will remain at $100.

*There was a proposal that our weekly dues be $5 of which $2 would go to 50/50 and the

   rest to offset the rent. This proposal was passed at this meeting.   

*Financial statements were all good if you have questions please refer them to Doug.

  Rotarel is where it should be. All bills are paid. The 318 account will be taking a bit of a hit

  due to the restructuring of the room payment fee.

a. Michael will talk to his contact about price of Lobster so we can plan a drive through event in May. He will continue to look into this but need pricing to come down. This will be on the agenda until we can make a final decision. This was on going at the time of the meeting.

b. We are booked at the A&W for our meeting in January and the first two weeks of February.

c. Marathon will be July 20^th – 1k, 3k,5k, 10k and 21k They are using the same

registration system as last year - Race Roster. I am not sure if I heard this correctly or not. All other information has been confirmed.

 a. Ally Buck’s email about our Shelter Box referenced graphics that could be printed and files that could be given to a person with a 3D printer to make our own miniature. I have asked about getting both files. Once I have these I will pursue prices of printing the graphics and 3D printing the miniature.  I do not know the specifications of the required 3D printer as I imagine there are different levels.    No new information at this time

           12. Club Banners:

 I will let you know when I have more information. I am currently debating whether or not to wait until the Bill McDonald Memorial Basketball Tournament and the Rotary Tea events for better pictures. No new information at this time

           13. Exchange Student and RYLA (Rotary Youth Leadership Award) Jaoa will go to Rick’s for the two days in December and again in January when Linda is away.

            17.      Fri, Dec 13^th & Sat, Dec 14^th – Bill McDonald Memorial Basketball Tournament Volunteers are asked to be at the MBCI cafeteria at 4:45. Pizza to be served in two shifts with the first at 5:00. The following people have signed up Don 1, Don 2, Kent, Ken, Peter, Don 3 for Friday. Don 1 and Peter will pick up food from Subway and coffee from Timmy’s. Don 2 will collect registration money from teams. Refs are either local or from Flin Flon or Swan.  Tournament costs will be much less than last year. A Destination Marketing of $3 000 was applied for but a response had not been received as of this meeting. The tournament financial position is such that this money will not be needed.  UCN has covered the cost of the pizza.

18. Four-Way Test:     Is it the TRUTH?             

    Is it FAIR to all concerned?

                           Will it build GOODWILL and BETTER FRIENDSHIPS?

                           Will it be BENEFICIAL to all concerned?
