Sergeant at Arms:
SAA Alan collected fines from the rowdy, noisy table, and voluntary contributions for various misdemeanors and happy occasions. Gordon was extremely happy with the awards his grandson James collected at graduation, including for science & sports.
Guest Speaker: Out-going President, Avrum
Avrum was thoroughly roasted by all and sundry, led by Basil. Also turning the roasting spit were Barry Smith, Dave Hard, and Arthur Retnakaran.
Avrum eloquently reviewed his year as president, which he enjoyed enough to do it again. Grateful for all the assistance from the Board and club members, he referred to his PETS trip to Chicago (to visit his daughter), the Foundation Walk where the food was late, the wonderful President’s/Charter Party, the District Conference in Whitby, and especially the ”just for laughs” meeting for which he is already preparing for his encore.
During Avrum’s year, we inducted two new members, Dr. Vijay Kumar Chattu, and Councilor Jamaal Myers. All the members present gave Avrum a rousing round of applause and assured him that he was one of our best presidents ever.
Gordon had the honour of presenting Avrum with his past -President’s plaque, and a promise that his past president’s pin is on the way.
For the last time this Rotary year, Avrum closed the meeting.
