Last weeks meeting
President Sam (was very busy) presented cheques to Jo Sears (Vancouver Orcas) and Michelle Sweeney (St John Ambulance).
President Sam then led a short discussion about future exchange student opportunities. A motion to proceed next year was approved.
President Sam announced the resignation of Laine and Heather. Sorry to see them go, but do come back when circumstances permit. Laine and Heather have made huge contributions to our club and to Rotary!

They have named her Emery Brooklyn and she came into the world weighing 7 lbs 12 ounces. Kal ( that is my wife and not Big Kal Mahal) and I are very proud grandparents". Thanks Dalbir - love it when I receive material for the bulletin!
