ANNOUNCEMENTS:
JACK: Hockey game this Sunday! We must have a better turnout of sellers than last Sunday. Russ, Jack, David H. where to only members to show up. Thankfully former member Bernie showed up so there were 4 of us. Between periods Wayne helped although he paid to get in and was with his wife, he helped because we were short and it was busy. Russ and I had to do the draw, count and cleanup ourselves, and the prize was over $800. It wasn’t the usual fun time. We got to have 6 people and they should be there for the final count. Let’s do better this week, only 6 more games left, and then the playoffs.
Annual Kidney Dance is Sat. April 6th; we have enough for 2 tables, 16 people. We could get another table if more want to go. Let us know as soon as possible.
Thanks to WAYNE for doing last weeks Bull. He sent copies, if you didn’t get let me know and I will forward to you. It was about the new Hockey team in Brampton.
JEREMY: Was away last week, and came in a little late today, incase anyone noticed? Nobody did, He announced a Poker Tournament for Dave’s Hockey team if anyone is interested contact him or Dave as soon as possible.
SHANTA: Games day will be Sunday June 2, at Spot One, please put this on your calendars; it is a lot of fun, and a good fund raiser.
JERRY: We are involved with Dreams Take Flight, and we must get our kids and everything done right away, the day is fast approaching.

GUEST SPEAKERS:
CHRISTIE HALLETT, is the administrator at the Peel Safety Village, It is at the PowerAde Park, near the arena. We helped to build and fund it way back in 1994.
Since then they have had over 250,000 children visit and learn about traffic safety and many other worthwhile things. They have classes for all grade 1, 3, and 5 students, and they also train all the Bus Patrol Kids. They are now doing a thing on Cyber Bullying which is a very real threat to kids these days. They are doing a fine job and they are looking for more support from groups like Rotary to help them. A very worthwhile cause. Jay then spoke to us on our Dictionary Program and on how we can help with the Safety Village., and gave us more information. Jerry and Jeremy will attend some of their meetings and report back to our club.
