Debbie Liddle, Treasurer – on the club finances.  She stated that both accounts are healthy. There was disappointment in two events, the Coldwell Banker and Parry Sound events.  A statement was given to members.
Hugh Holland – re Hospital Survey.  Hugh handed out hard copies of the survey to those who had not yet completed one.   Some members stated disappointment in the survey wording, and suggested that we write in that “we want status quo properly funded”. 
Kim,  for Membership – The committee is revamping the fireside chat, and what joining Rotary is all about, and good mentorship.
Suzi, Youth Services – The committee members were at the high school recruiting, and will go back in October.  Sept 30 is the deadline for applications for next year, and November 30 is the deadline for students to go.  She encouraged members to invite our exchange student Madeline for a meal or an outing.
Drew, PR – Dockfest had good success with local partners.  World Polio Day in October is a good way to showcase Rotary.
