Attendance

On May 31st, we had 41 Rotarians in attendance and seven visitors. Barb Callery wanted us to meet Debora Lloyds and Renee Rowlands-Thomas who are teachers involved in our Camp Enterprise, as well as Matthew Perez and Jennifer Zu, who are students who can’t wait to tell us about their experiences there. Kim Nilsson was delighted to introduce Hailey Bieles, from The Mirror, who has been giving us some good press coverage lately. Chris Musselman welcomed back Sandra Cooksey and Brian Philcox reminded us that our frequent visitor, Jeff Mittman, was back again!

Announcements

***SAY CHEESE*** CLUB PHOTO – JUNE 14 – NEW DATE!! As it is our Rotary Centennial year, we will have a group picture taken at 1:45 p.m. on June 14. A photographer has been hired and this will be taken outside the Scarboro Golf & Country Club.

Kim Nilsson from the Membership Committee is putting together a booklet for new members. She will require a one page blurb from each committee to describe what their function is and what projects they are involved in. This will really assist the new members and help them discover how they can get involved.

Mike Cooksey showed off his new 2005 Ribfest Sponsor Kit and let us know that the Royal Bank has now donated $1,000. He is also very thankful to The Mirror for their articles and for being a major sponsor.

Woods Cunningham Wheel

Don Hall was up to the task again and the wheel went round and round until it hit #33. Even though he should be disqualified, President Bruce won again, but did not win the big pot. Even so, “just spinning is winning.”

Rookie Pat Agnew has a new profession, and showed us that she was up for the job. Immediately, she stated her rules; no fines, lots of true confessions and happy bucks.

Chris Musselman, representing the Inner Wheel, thanked our Club for sponsoring their conference in September.

Brian Philcox wanted to thank all of us for the warm reception Bonnie received last week.

Jeff Mittman enjoyed talking with Skip on his cell, and paid up. He is also relieved that although his son broke his arm, but is now well on the way to recovery.

John Agnew is sure that his first wedding anniversary to Pat is worth $5.

Judy Lewthwaite has no trouble remembering her birthday, as her husband, George, celebrates on the same day!

Susan Welcome still cannot find her pin after moving.

Hamish Wong said something about his son putting in a pool in his backyard.

President Bruce told us about a very good write-up in the Washington Post about Bonnie Buxton.
