DITTIE: June 8, the Brampton Club is having a walk to raise funds, it is only 5 k’s and they need walkers.

THE DRAW:

MARTIN won again, every time there is a big one, and he gets it. I think it’s fixed.

LOTS OF HAPPY BUCKS:

JEREMY: Trial is over, killers found guilty, wife is home, and life is almost back to normal.

NORBERT: Beautiful wife Liz is here, he is looking for a new expensive hobby, because he sold his airplane and the money saved is burning a hole in his pocket.

DR. PALMAY: Second visit this month, now he remembers why he left the club. He won Leaf Tickets in a curling Bonspiel and is quite happy about that.

PROGRAM:

WAYNE, TERRY AND DITTIE, where part of group from our area that teamed up with the Cambridge and Georgetown Rotary, to go to Tanzania, and help build a school. It was actually finished when they got there, but their job was to paint, decorate, landscape and finish whatever needed to be done. They were 8 kilometers from the nearest road, and camped in tents. The pictures were great, and we got to see everything they did with the people and the school. Great program, great pictures, great information.

Thank you Wayne and Terry for making our club look good.
