It has been a busy month.
First event was the membership training
in Hamilton to which many clubs in our Division sent representatives. Thank you to all who participated.
Next was the District Convention in
Ottawa. It was a great event and
learning experience for all who managed to attend. If you have never attended one, next year it
is being held in Montego Bay in Jamaica at an all-inclusive resort. They have negotiated special rates for the
duration of the Convention and it includes days before or after at the same
rate.

raise funds for Eliminate. Below is the
team that put in the winning bid of $400.
On Saturday we had the voting for the
Officers for 2017-18 and Jackie and Bud Orr were the Sergeants-at-Arms ensuring
that only Voting Delegates were allowed into the voting side of the assembly.
Again, on the Saturday we had the
pictures taken of the current Trustees and LG’s.

This past week I have been busy presenting
the Distinguished Banner Patches to 5 of the clubs in our Division. These were earned for 2015-16 under the
excellent Leadership of Past Lieutenant Governor with Excellence, Cathy
Telfer. Congratulations to Cathy for
that award and also for the Frank Summerhayes award for the best LG bulletins
in the District.
