Rick had been to Christina Lake and enjoyed it. Plans to go back. There are many resorts but they are quite booked. People go back year after year up to 50 years. Rick’s host had a telescope through which Rick saw Jupiter and its 3 moons, Saturn and its rings, and the International Space Station which circles Earth in 1 hour 45 minutes. Next year he hopes to look at the moon. There are 2 golf courses and some large cabins for larger families. There are lots of children.
Money raising ideas were revisited. Go Fund Me is up to Jerry. Rick will look into gaming grants with Pat to name a contact. Jerry is checking on the Learning Centre.
Rick recommended the S & L Restaurant for a lively evening with good food and service. Reservations are required.
NO MEETING next week and Aug 16 moved to afternoon.
