The jackpot of $1100.00 was not won. Attendance: The attendance was 65.1% and there were 8 scooters. President's Message: President Moe Rodgerson welcomed all and called on Secretary Allan McLeod to give his report. Thanksgiving Flower Project - Judy McCann-Beranger presented a brief report. Judy remarked that order forms and posters had been placed on each table. She encouraged Rotarians to take theirs to their workplace to have the pledges completed. Judy asked for volunteers to help in driving to delivery flowers. She would like to have 100% participation and all pledges should be returned by this Friday. In the auction sale, Dale Mader got the centre piece for $25, and Alden O'Brien and Carl Bagnall each paid $10. for the bouquets. Auction Sale - John Broderick asked Rotarians to pick up their packets. About 2 dozen packets have not yet been picked up. John reminded that the auction will take place on November 28, and all completed pledges should be returned by October 16. QEH support: President Moe explained that we have pledged to support the QEH with $80,000 and efforts have to be made to raise funds to meet this goal. Phonetracker - Len Griffin, formerly of Lions Club in N.S., explained about this program as a possible source of funding. Phone-tracker is a free automatic plastic telephone directory, with advertisements from local businesses, to be delivered to households and businesses in the local community. All advertisers get a free internet ad listing on the phonetacker web site. The product should be ready by April and sale should end by next November. This is a concept similar to yellow pages. Full page advertising on both sides would bring $1800.00. Should our Rotary Club take on the project? The profit share of the club will range from 10 to 30% depending upon the number of copies distributed. President Moe remarked that we will make a decision next week whether or not to pursue this project further. Octoberfest - Kim Griffin gave a brief report. Kim remarked that those who attended it last year enjoyed it. 350 tickets were sold. She explained that the next Fest will be planned for next year. We need to plan ahead and need 15 members on the steering committee. Not everyone will be expected to sell tickets. Makeups to Sept. 28 - Don Anderson (2); Walter Cox (2) |
