Attendance

On July 26 th, we had 44 Rotarians in attendance and six visitors. President Rebecca had brought her son, Jake, and we all said “hello.” David Maynes wanted us to meet Joe Rosiejak who has come all the way from Scotland to help us with the Ribfest! Chris Musselman introduced two reoccurring visitors, Jeff Mittman and Elaine Vollett, from the Markham Sunrise Club, as well as Krystyna Benyak, from the North Scarborough Rotary Club, who is also going to assist with Ribfest. Mike Cooksey let us know that his wife, Sandra, is amongst friends again.

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. Don won’t charge interest if you pay in time!

Eye Glasses – give your used eye glasses to Gerry Bradler. These will “open the world” to needy people.

Let Judy, Audrey or Sheila know if any Rotarian or their families are ill, so we can send the appropriate gift/card to them, on behalf of the Scarborough Rotary Club.

Dave Johnston is celebrating his birthday and Ribfest at the same time! He is also thankful to Chris Musselman for thinking about his employees. (Your editor missed the reason why, perhaps they travel?)

Gus Vlastakis was just a little late, and paid a little confession.

Elaine Vollett is very happy about her fund raising garage sale for D.R.E.A.M.S. and made $2,000!

Chris Musselman thinks the advertising for Ribfest has just been marvelous, especially when she saw the section in the Scarborough Mirror.
