Sergeant-at-Arms Mark Bedford had a profitable time levying fines: Irene for trying to make Canada tri-lingual. Bob Beauvais, in case he forgot to put in a happy dollar for the great turn out at last week’s outing to University Canada West. It was an excellent outing. A few for not signing in. Those who had ordered “T” shirts and not paid. Those who had not read last week’s bulletin. Therese Eley won the draw ($15) but failed to find the white marble. Happy Birthday to Martin Holden and David Philip.
