Happy Bucks
Joan, did double-duty of chairing the meeting and collecting our loonies. As our senior elected official, she governed our happiness and taxed us each a dollar. 50/50 Joan was on a roll as she kept the momentum going from Happy Bucks to our 50/50 draw. The GAS (Gary, Allan, Sam) consortium won the ticket draw (again). If this continues we may need third-party auditing for the 50/50 process. To everyone’s enjoyment, they drew the 3 of Hearts — so they should each feel somewhat heartened that they missed the jackpot. Presentation from Rotaract Club of Ottawa South Jeffrey Parkhouse updated us on the happenings at the Carleton University club. 80 people signed up at the Club Expo and their meetings have been strong at 30 participants. They are organizing a Development Night and are interested in our members attending and providing some info and insight. They plan to fundraise for a ShelterBox again this year, as well as supporting HIV awareness in Honduras. Interested in more news? President Joan ended the meeting promptly at 1:30pm. |
