CLUB MEETING:
 PE Sandra at the helm
 Carolyn asked members to search their closets for any formal wear graduates could wear. Donations until February 3 for the Cinderella Project.
Avery and Danny were inducted. In a number of firsts, Danny was not only inducted on the day he was accepted, he and Avery also received their member’s badges and Avery gave her classification speech.  What a secretary.  Good work Arnoldo.

Guest Speaker Summary
 Avery gave her classification speech.
 Avery was born in Hawaii and lived there until she was recruited by UBC where she did a business degree.
 She did not see snow until she was 18. Apparently the UBC recruiter failed to tell her about our weather.
 She has a twin and an older sister. All three were married in the same year.
 Avery somehow avoided surfing but is a marathon runner and has qualified for the Boston Marathon in April, after   which she plans to retire from the sport.
 Avery has been with TD commercial banking unit for 5 years. She comes to Rotary naturally having volunteered throughout her life.
Great talk and great new member.
 Avery was thanked by Mme. Chris.
