Cambridge North Rotary Club (Aug 25, 2021)

OPENING CEREMONIES

Posted by Paul Goetz on Aug 25, 2021

Our illustrious Gerry Menezes filled in for President Ken and opened the meeting to the official start time at 12:15 pm.

We did not sing O'Canada due to Covid-19 protocols at GCC . However one of our members suggested that we hum Oh Canada

in lieu of singing . It sounded not bad and could improve with practice I'm sure .

Peter provided the Invocation. Afterwards Jerry toasted the Queen, and Canada.

TABLE TALK

For our table, it included Jerry Menezes, Peter Ashenhurst, Allan Fox and Paul Goetz. We talked about a number of topics.

We discussed past Rotary Conferences we had attended - Peter having attended alot more then of rest of us.

We discussed the upcoming election much to our distaste that it was even happening at all . Trudeau may end up with

fewer seats then he started with.

SERGEANT-AT-ARMS REPORT

We had a total of 10 Rotarians present today, with zero participating by Zoom. This corresponds to 50% attendance.

HAPPY-TOONIES

People were fairly happy today.

Dave Kinder announced that he and Julie celebrated their 45 Th wedding anniversary - Congratulations.

Doug and his family have returned from a great vacation to the Rocky Mountains mostly in Alberta - spent time

hiking and site seeing.

Mike had been on vacation to Brancroft and Muskoka area with Sue and did one of his favorite hobbies golfing.

Sean and Laureen and another couple spent their vacation sailing on their boat near Parry Sound and around Thornbury.

He never checked work emails not once.

Sean and Laureen replaced the furnace in their new home - they now have air conditioning as well.

ANNOUNCEMENTS

Sean announced that he had been in contact with Delco meats and they finally advised it would be possible to get hams

this year . However the cost will be higher and so will affect our selling price .

We will be discussing whether we should order fewer hams as some business will have been affected re Covid

and not have the money to spend as in the past .

Doug is to check on the cost of cartons for the hams as well.

Sean also mentioned the District Governor’s Cambridge Cluster Celebration on Thursday September 9th, starting at 6 pm, at the Galt Country Club. You all received a link to register for the event, sent to you on August 15^th at approx. 11 am, from Jackie Langlois via the District ClubRunner.
