Announcements
The deadline (Aug. 31) for organizing a Group Study Exchange to either Mexico or Norway in May, 2008, is fast approaching. Please Speak to Lorna Curtis if interested.
Sergeant-at-Arms  Brian J. Lamb levied egregious fines as follows:
Barbara B., Cedric M. and George P.. should have known better and signed in.
Carl Jackson should not have suggested that the S/A doesn’t know about numbers.
Tom Croft, Vicki Pitt and Hazel Meredith did not know the connection between Dan Martin’s column in the Times-Colonist with Rotary...the Canadian Government gave $5 million to
Rotary’s Polio Eradication efforts in Afghanistan.
All those who had not yet paid their dues or given a prize for the Golf Tournament.
Those who had not dressed appropriately for the Barbeque were fined. Heather Aked and Neil Rawnsley were given copies of Fashion Magazine as they were judged to be the least appropriately dressed.
 |
We all sang Happy Birthday to Margaret....a week too early.
Sad and Happy Dollars
Nels Granewall noted the passing of the Swedish film director Ingmar Bergman;
Heather Aked has finally got rid of her guests and is off to Vegas;
Tom Croft finally has a new sewer drain and storm drain;
Barbara Bristol is now homeless!...she has sold her house.
Ron Cooley won the draw but drew a black marble. |
Vocational Talks
Steve Harthill did a PowerPoint take-off of the Full Monty to document his move from Sheffield, England to Oak Bay. It seems he misses the Kings Arms and other great pubs but not the flooding currently drowning the Midlands. What a coincidence that so many
people Steve first met in Victoria and who helped him settle in were members of the Rotary Club of Oak Bay!

Jerry McLean upon graduating from the University of Alberta Law School in Edmonton moved to Victoria. He now practises in the area of Wills, Estates and Trusts for Straith & Co. We were spared a discussion of this exciting area of law as well as drum playing from this drummer of the Blue Elmo Band who he credits with shutting down a nightclub. Jerry is active with raising his two daughters, playing sports and working in a busy law practice.

Hazel Meredith came equipped with a large bag of props to describe her trip from Manitoba to Victoria. It is good that she is an eternal optimist for you have to be to work in the area of mental health and addictions. Having exchanged her sunglasses and mosquito repellent for an umbrella and woolly socks, Hazel is proud to be a member of that wonderful group of people which is the Rotary Club.

Donna Carrigan just back from Gobi March 2007 in China began, “I used to be a runner; I gave it up after that race”. Donna appreciated everyone's personal support in her challenging
run and the contributions made towards the cure of breast cancer. She braved both heat and cold, but a nasty virus plagued her near the end. She was proud to run across the finish line with her two male team mates carrying the Canadian flag. Now she wants to get more involved in Rotary. |

Thanks to budding Paparazzi, Angele and Tom, for the photos this week.
Cindy Hayworth thanked our speakers.
President Jack reminded us that each month this year has a Theme Song.
The Theme Song for July was The Beat Goes On. For August the Theme Song will be On the Sunny Side of the Street - for Rotary
helps put others onto the sunny side of the street.
A trio of Jack, Tom Croft and Irene Davie accompanied
by Jan Stirling enthusiastically sang On the Sunny Side of the Street.
You can see a video of their performance at the next meeting of the Club of Toulouse Ouest (Area 1700 in the Pyrenees).
