Announcements

There will be a friendship fellowship meeting on Wednesday evening September 9th, 2015.

Shifts will be four hours in duration. Guests need instruction of what there is to do in Huntsville. The Drop off will be the parking lot across the road from Boston Pizza.

President Brandy would like to see a presence at VetFest on August 22nd. She would like an information booth. Please contact her for more details.

George introduced his guest James Hunt from “The Door” Muskoka Youth for Christ, formally known as the Youth Club. Please support their 35th Anniversary being held at Pitmans Bay. Please see the invite for more details.

There was a decision made about funds allocated for Top Hat. Debbie Liddle gave us a breakdown of our Budget this year.

Ron dazzled us with his definition of what Rotary is. Rotary does a needs assessment of their community and when there is a need, we find ways to fill that need in a sustainable way. We are not a fundraiser group. We have founded the Train Station, Heritage Place, built the Pavillion at Avery Beach, built the skate park and various other community projects.

Presentation

President Brandy presentation was about teamwork, and being positive. She would like to encourage more fellowship opportunities and total club involvement. It is important that all members of committee be accountable and she also encouraged more face to face meetings to keep focused. Please sign up to the Rotary International website if you have not yet done so. Please pick up a banner if yo will be visiting another Rotary meeting and do a Banner exchange. For more information on her goals for the coming year please contact her.

My favourite part was the clever cartoons that demonstrated team work....thanks Presedent Brandy for humor!
