Announcements:

• PRESIDENT JACKIE presided

• A number of important talks and presentations were made today.
  Our Outgoing Rotary Exchange Student Haley Firsker, accompanied by her mother Freda, honoured us with a farewell visit. She is on her way to Argentina for a year. The Firsker family had hosted an Argentinean student ten years ago and this prompted Haley’s interest in going to Argentina.

• JOHN BONNICK made a presentation of a scholarship, in honour of his late wife, to George Brown College student Tiana Mohamed.

• PRESIDENT JACKIE talked about our upcoming Group Study Exchange with Siberia.

• KATHRYN HOPE mentioned that our incoming exchange student from Japan will be visiting us next week. Kathryn also mentioned that she needs help with Bingo.

Speaker of the Week

Al Schaafsma, Assistant District Governor, introduced our speaker and current District Governor, Lynda Ryder. Lynda spoke eloquently about “service” and how service is an honour. We learned about Lynda’s history and her driving force to build consensus and boost morale. She is determined to visit all 55 clubs in our district (District 7070) and Toronto Eglinton was the 35th club that she had visited. Lynda spoke highly of our District heroes, including Wilf Wilkinson, Bob Scott and our own RON DENHAM. She reiterated Wilf’s goals for his year as President of Rotary International, namely, Water, Polio Plus, and Literacy.

Membership has also become an important issue, with our own LARS HENRIKSSON chairing the Membership Committee. Lynda also mentioned the upcoming Foundation Walk which has been renamed “Wilf’s Walk.”

PRESIDENT JACKIE thanked the speaker.

Draw: There was no winner this week.
