Announcements:
Basil reminded everyone that today was the last day to bring in items for this year’s ebay auction.
Precious Blood Catholic School is once again interested in our help in starting an Interact Club. Basil will be gathering his team together to get them started.
Gordon Brown reminded us of the upcoming Christmas Party, and asked that if you haven’t replied yet, you do so now.
Jim Boyko had auction tickets for this Saturday’s Leafs game. The winning bids were tendered by Basil Dias and Peter Masson.
Barry Smith and Jim Boyko each made very generous donations to our foundation.
Marbelous Draw: Conducted by Kevin, drawn by our guest Samantha and won by Joan Masson. The mutant marble eluded Joan, who had to settle for the consolation prize of $5.00.
Saifoo Wrote to ask if we could include a brochure for Scarborough Rosewood Food Drive. Please see the attached Link: https://www.dropbox.com/s/as7mexxmrb3ne97/Holiday%20Drop%20Box%20colour.pdf?dl=0
Sergeant at Arms:
Peter attempted to extract a fine from Basil for false advertising, but the Presidential Pardon prevailed. Gerd paid up on a point of order, because his dog never gets drunk! Arthur paid for the privilege of telling a water to wine storey (you had to be there) and Peter contributed because of all the broadcasters who are caught up in scandal.
Guest Speakers:
Basil introduced Tessa Davy of Eastern Caribbean Breeze and Sekou Stroude of the Grenada Tourism Authority who presented us with our very own travel show, including lots of fantastic reasons to visit the beautiful Caribbean.
Arthur thanked Tessa and Sekou with an Operation Eyesight Certificate.

Quote of the day:
We’ve all heard that a million monkeys banging on a million typewriters will eventually reproduce the entire works of Shakespeare. Now, thanks to the Internet, we know this is not true.
