Attendance
On June 7th, we had 29 Rotarians in
attendance and nine visitors. Ron Marsh welcomed back
Elaine Vollett, who we are looking forward to being
our speaker on July 5th. Bert Geary had a big job ahead
of him. He introduced John Grace of the Barbados Rotary
Club, who had brought along Kathleen Grace, Wendy McCarthy,
Michael McCarthy and Kathleen McCarthy. Chris Musselman
was delighted introduce John Hemmant, past District
Governor, and a current member of the Toronto Don Mills
Rotary Club.
Announcements
Rebecca Hunter brought our attention
to the insert in today’s Bluffer. This two part
form asks us to indicate which committee(s) we are interested
in and asks for our thoughts about priorities for the
upcoming year. Please fill this out and return to Rebecca
or another board member as soon as possible.
Norm Rhora had two announcements. The
first one is about Ribfest. We will be distributing
flyers that will enable businesses to have coupons that
advertise their companies. These flyers will be widely
distributed to approximately 50,000 people at Ribfest
and it is only $300 for a good space. Let Norm know
about interested business associates.
Norm also told us about Bendale Acres,
where Donna Worden, Victor Shastri and Norm volunteer.
They have opened a new Bistro Coffee house which is
open from 9 a.m. – 1 p.m. Norm invited all of
us to a card party there on June 8th.
Woods Cunningham Wheel
Don Hall was a bit shaky after finding
someone different sitting in Gary MacGregor’s
seat, although the surprise was quite pleasant according
to him. He managed to spin the wheel, shouted out #25,
and our guest, Elaine Vollett thought she had won a
lot of money. However, she failed to ace it and ended
up with only a twoonie. (p.s.- the surprise seating
companion was none other than yours truly….ed!)
Other News
CLUB SERVICE APPEAL:
Let us know news about fellow Rotarians and their families.
That way we can send flowers, cards, etc. to let them
know we care. Call Audrey, Judy or Sheila.
Club Membership Dues –
These are now due and should be made payable to the
Rotary Club of Scarborough then remitted to Don Hall.
The price is the same as last year.
Eye Glasses –
give your used eye glasses to Gerry Bradler. These will
“open the world” to needy people.
Sergeant-at-Arms – Millie
Tavener
Millie was going to take
a kind, gentle approach to us today, as there are so
few of us here, due to the annual golf tournament.
However, she was not going to let Don
Hall get away with his off-hand reference to
Sheila Zornada, describing his state of mind being instigated
by sitting beside “that.”
Brian Philcox was next
in the line of fire for interfering with Millie’s
job, in other words, supplying Susan Welcome with a
Rotary pin, so Susan would not get fined.
Audrey McCaskill is
very proud of her granddaughter, Julia, who swam against
275 kids and came in 13th!!! Julia’s team then
came in 4th in Canada. (Way to go and a chip off
the old block….ed.)
Shelley Lush was fined
for having beautiful legs, although he doth protested
and claimed Millie has great legs too.
John Hemmant was very
proud to announce that he has been in Rotary for 50
years today and had started off by being a member of
our Club! (big round of applause)
Gerry Bradler is happy
to celebrate his wedding anniversary, although he didn’t
seem sure which one.
Aysan Sev’er
let us know that she was the keynote speaker recently
in London and enjoyed the experience.
Susan Welcome has learned
a valuable lesson – do not share news with the
S.A.A. before lunch.
Hamish Wong was reminded
about something, was told about it, but still wasn’t
sure, anyways, it is his club anniversary.
Elaine Vollett paid
a happy buck as her son recently had a growth removed
and it was benign.
