Guest speaker Sydney Baxter Dennis was introduced by Gerd Wengler –
 
Sydney talked about the Host Hospitality event on June 25, 2018 to be held at the Guild Inn Estates in Scarborough.  All Scarborough clubs are involved in combined efforts for this event.  There are 250 guests registered. 
He suggests any other guests we wish to invite would have to specifically indicate they want to go to this particular hospitality group.
Guests or volunteers should be recorded on the forms given to each club and that these should come to them soon so that they can get everyone registered.
They need volunteers to help with welcoming and orienting guests.  They can also volunteer for the bus trips that will be picking guests up downtown Toronto and bringing them out to Scarborough.  The buses will start at 4:00 pm on the day of the event.
There will be a cash bar with domestic beer, wine, and drinks.  As well there will be two stations of buffet food.  There is entertainment, a six-piece jazz band has volunteered for this event.

Had an embarrassing time at the checkout at Loblaws last night.  The checkout Clerk said " Strip down facing me"     Apparently she was talking about my debit card!
