Cambridge North Rotary Bulletin March 20, 2019 (Mar 27, 2019)

OPENING CEREMONIES

Posted by Allan Fox

On a slightly chilly day President Gerry called the meeting to order, he also led the singing of our National Anthem and the members responded with a rather robust rendition of O Canada. Peter Ashenhurst read the invocation. and we did not have to wait very long before the ordered meals started to arrive.

TABLE TALK

Posted on Mar 23, 2022

We were seated four to a table maskless and socially distanced, we were all pleased that our meals arrived promptly. Sean quickly proved that the new ordering system announced at last week's meeting is working well. Sean was running late and he called Fred who ordered Sean's meal. His meal arrived before some of ours.. Sean the nice guy he is offered his meal to Paul since Paul was there on time.

Today whenever 2 or more people get together Putin, Russia and/or the Ukraine usually is a topic of discussion, this group did not disappoint.

Fred is getting ready for motorcycle season.

Paul like the other Bulletin Editors had some problems getting into the Bulletin section of Club Runner, it seems that every time you write the bulletin something is different.

Sean has been invited to a dinner where Premier Doug Ford will be in attendance. We were giving him some points that he could raise with the Premier if he gets to speak to him.

Fred gave us an advertisement for a super siding wash, no scrubbing required, just apply and then hose off and it really works.

We also discussed Hybrid gars vs fully electric cars.

SERGEANT-AT-ARMS REPORT

Posted on Mar 23, 2022

Sgt-at-Arms Peter Ashenhurst reported that 11 members were present today. That worked out to be 69% attendance. There were no guest, make-ups or a Guest Speaker today.

HAPPY-TOONIES

Today our President decided that we would have Happy Happiness rather than Happy Toonies.

Peter Ashenhurst celebrated the arrival of spring with bike rides, he has already done 4 rides.

Sean Carragher will going to Florida for 4 days to attend a music festival. He and Laureen will pull the motorcycles to Chattanooga then ride from there to Florida, that will be a 12 hour drive in the truck then a 2 hour motorcycle ride to Florida, quite a change for Laureen.

Fred had a few issues at the cottage last week. He discovered that his bubbler pump in the lake was not working so he and Charlene spent 3 hours chopping ice so that he could fix the pump. He also has some frozen chairs on the lake.
