Today was a Club Assembly in which club members were brought up to date on most aspects of the Club. The following are exerpts from the minutes of the Board meeting held on Monday February 21 2022 Lunch Committee – Chair -Ken Stronach -In person meetings are set to restart on March 2nd. The legion is looking forward to it and Val is promising a special dinner! -Regarding the Electronics required for the meetings, the power amplifier has been delayed for at least a month. Ben from Helix assures me that we could use our existing amp together with the box he builds. Once the power amp arrives we could then get the box back to him to install the power amp. Alternatively, we can continue to use the current configuration. As it happens I helped the Legion out with a District Managers meeting this past Saturday that needed to be run in a hybrid fashion. I used our current equipment, Everything went well and they were very pleased! -agreed that we would ask members to bring a few $$$ to lunch on March 2 to tip the Legion (from Christmas) Fellowship Committee – Co-Chairs Lynne Thompson and Dione Schumacher -The fellowship committee is hosting two events.

A number of plans need to be undertaken in the near future and ongoing until the event date and some new blood is essential to allow this year’s event to proceed properly. -recent discussions have suggested the Satellite Club will be running the event for 2022 Community Service – Director Peter Redwood World Community Service- Chair – Jen Simpson -The Nepal Global Grant is completed and we are just awaiting final closure from District and RI but all of the reports have been submitted. -Our final commitment of $500 to RELAY was sent -The HHART trip was postponed until the end of March and a final decision will be made March 1st as to whether it will proceed. -The Save The Rain Global Grant is finally being submitted and the district has agreed to match our club funds of $2000Can and MMS $6740Can with $5000US for a total of $11 000US.

It is believed the District would then contact the Club to follow up -2022 Adventure in Citizenship program will be virtual again this year. After discussion it was thought that the students would not get the same impact as an in-person weekend and the expense should not be undertaken Bursary Committee – Chair – Peter Redwood 2 of the 3 students have cashed their cheques and we have just located the third person who will cash her cheque soon. Her school is currently closed and getting info has been a challenge -looking ahead to next year we are looking at getting bursary apps available for the 2022/2023 year Satellite Club – Director Jennifer Jerrett -It has been announced that the Satellite Club will be moving forward in the process of becoming a ‘stand alone’ club by July 1, 2022 - As a follow up to a request from November (that went astray) a motion was made to support the Community Living Association’s Pathways Program, in the amount of $1,500. The motion was seconded by Bill Pritchard and it was agreed to take it out of the ‘Other Requests’ in the Service Account.
