Our SAA is still elated by his winnings last week that he decided not to fine anyone this week.
Happy Bucks from:

  • David Seemungal enjoyed the Quinoa meal served by Gerd’s catering at the board meeting.
  • Jacklyn Smith – It was wonderful to see us.

  • Oh and Jack Holman's gas price per litre was higher this week…Poor Jack for paying the big city price
  • Gerd’s new dog, Sadie was born and hopefully all goes well, they will have her in July. Possibly a Club runner announcement is highly anticipated.
Program:
Dhanni Ramdeen introduced our speaker, Nevine Yassa who started out as a Rotaractor in Egypt. She had the pleasure of translating Rotaract’s constitution from English to Arabic. Navine, has been a Rotarian at the Rotary Club of Scarborough since migrating to Canada.
Navine has worked on many International projects including the FACE project, a project that our club was a participant in to qualify for the District grant. The total application of funds was for $18,500. She went to Egypt to deliver and witness the disbursement of the funds. This project was in partnership with 6 Rotary clubs, including the Rotary Club of Rhein-Nile in Egypt.
