Sergeant
Pat was sad because his eldest son turned 30 yesterday and complained about his housing change.  Jeff was happy for an upcoming trip to St. Kitts.  Al was happy to be back and to have completed his radiation treatment.  Renee thanked t5hose who braved the wet weather to work at the shredding event.  Bob was happy to be back from Haida Gwai.  Don was happy about a cruise coming up.  Roberta expressed mixed feelings about Jerry going away.  Peter boasted about 2 assists (the sergeant complained that goals are worth more).  Scott told of his child in Guatamala.  Stuart boasted of a trip to Australia up coming.  Pat was sad to not be going with all those who have trips.
 
Speaker
Alan introduced Darrell who he has known since his children (Alan’s)  were in soccer.  Darrell said that Coastal FC now has 4500 registrations per year and is planning to build a $3.9 million indoor soccer facility.  Money is raised by a $25 fee on every registration and a mortgage.  $300,000 has been paid.
Darrell also spoke about Kids  Sports which started in 1993 and now has 13 chapters in B.C. and assists needy people to register which can cost from $400 to $10000 per year per child.  They now pay up to $300 in 16 sports.  In spite of all this money raised and given out there is no specific ask.  Darrel’s group also works with “Rec for Kids” which needs volunteers.
Bob thanked the speaker.  Pat said Rotaract may have a role to play here.
 
Pat spoke of “Sip and Savour” which is going ahead with restaurant, wineries and a brewery involved.  Date is Nov. 5.
