  4. Toronto Island
  5. Niagara Falls as many sites/attractions you can do and see while you are there
  6. Sudbury Science North and Dynamic Earth
  7. Camping
  8. Canoeing
  9. Tubing or water skiing behind a boat
  10. Downhill Skiing
  11. Tour Algonquin Park in the Fall
  12. Visit Ottawa
  13. Stratford play
  14. Musical play
  15. Toronto City Pass Attractions

What you missed....
 
Julia Finch our fearless organizer of this fundraising opportunity led all volunteers positively even though the weather did NOT cooperate.
The Bar's tub was stocked.  All the customers really noticed and the enjoyed the bath tub.
 
These ladies worked quickly and got everything setup before the real rain started.
Cheers from the first crew of bar tenders.
Our selections!
The beer sales went great.  We ran out of Thornbury, then Palm Bay Ruby Red, and finally Coors Light.  
The rain didn't slow down the beer sales.
Sales picked up when the rain slowed down.  
Setting up the BBQ.  
Our ticket sellers.  Madeline hasn't been here a week and she is already on board with service!
The rain didn't slow us down.  We made due.  Now everyone knows what madeline looks like , please be sure to welcome her!
 
The whole beer tent crew!
Julia accepted a donation from the band.  They donated 50% of their sales to our Club.
 
BALL TOURNAMENT
The Parry Sound Ball Tournament was a soggy event.  This was the view from the bar on Saturday Night.  Rain or Shine Rotary will prevail all the time!
 
PIAB
Friday night PIAB got soggy and storming as well.  That didn't prevent us from getting all 4 four new tents up.  We even had mini helpers who helped the Bride to be with decorations.
 
Past President Jen is not afraid to get dirty in her wedding dress.  She helped take down the Party in the Box after her Wedding with these Rotary cohorts and if I am not mistaken friends of Rotary. Talk about a die hard of Service Above Self!  This is just one example of making a difference!  Keep up the great work!
