MEMBER UPDATE:
It is with a very heavy heart that we announce that on Friday, March 29, Don Boyce passed away.

​​​​​​​He will be greatly missed.

5.  Rotaract Update :
Sponsor 2 Rotaract members for our club - we will get confirmation — Meaghan and Lexie?

Funding for Guatemala project - asking for $1,000.  Bring it up for a motion at the next exec meeting.
Peter suggested that we cut it down to $500 given that we are such a small club.
Jerry acknowledged Peter’s position, and feels that since we have the money and more fund raisers coming up, and given the Rotaract’s efforts and presence in the community, Jerry suggests that we keep it at $1,000. 
Pat recommends as well that we support these young people as much as possible.    We have about $3,500 for projects. 

A gift for Rotaract’s Charter installation was also discussed – perhaps we could purchase flags for the Club.
Scheduled for May 4 - shortlist location to Westcoast Gardens and Taj -  stand up tables - $25-30 per ticket.
