Ray Higgs was at the door, Graeme Isaacson was Chairman and Andy Bell was Sergeant.
President Jo Gorman opened the meeting with well deserved commendations to the volunteers and members who all contributed to the success of last Saturday's Big Bicycle Sale (see last week's bulletin), particularly to Larry Murray, who was the chief organizer, and to Mario Fairlie, who donated 60 baseball caps to be worn by members, and Neil Thurlow, whose company Accent Print & Copy, provided all printing as well as the big posters, the corflutes as well as a couple of Pull-up Banners. Thank you all! The event raised a total of over $3,900, including direct donations to the Wheelchair Trust.
Jo read a very complimentary letter she received from one of the Associate Member volunteers at the Project Shed and also referred to the upcoming memorial event for Bob Harrison, as well as the Christmas Breakfast at the QT Hotel (see separate articles).
A special moment was the presentation of a Paul Harris Fellowship to Mario Fairlie (see story above) - he now has 5 Sapphires on his badge! Congratulations, Mario!
