At this Wednesday's meeting, Cleo led us in the Four Way Test. We had no speaker today, no visitors today AND only 9 members today. We have a speaker next week, so it would be good if we had better attendance for that meeting on Dec.21. NOTE- There is no meeting planned for Dec 28.
Rotary Moment:
“Man has affinity for his fellow man, regardless of race, creed, or politics, and the greater the variety, the more the zest. All friendliness needs is a sporting chance; it will take care of itself in any company.”

Announcements:
- WEST END SENIORS CHRISTMAS LUNCHEON- After 30 years of our involvement in the Seniors Christmas Lunch, the format has changed somewhat. It has been organized by the Seniors Board, but 8-9 volunteers from our club attended the luncheon at the Coast Hotel and helped serve the Egg Nog and drinks as well as help with the coat check room.
- ANNUAL ROTARY DISTRICT 5040 CONFERENCE 2016
Please make a point of opening the website for the District Conference which will take place in Whistler from May 4th to the 7th, 2017. There are discounts for the conference if you follow up sooner than later. The website is: http://celebraterotary.ca/
Meeting - Today was a Club Meeting.
Financials for the year 2015 -2016 were presented by Peter Fox. Rather than summarize it here, Peter will make sure that a copy is sent to all members of our club.
Our President then reviewed that progression of our Action Plans for the remainder of the year. Again, Cleo will ensure that each member will receive a copy of the latest update (December 13, 2016) on the email.
The board mentioned that the EREY (Every Rotarian Every Year) donation of 100 dollars US needed to be reviewed. If you are not sure how to arrange monthly, quarterly or annual payments, check with Peter or Sheila.
Remember that we have a very special meeting on January 18 to celebrate our 30th anniversary of our inception into Rotary. We will be inviting as many of our past members as will be able to come to that meeting, to join us in our celebration.
MEMBERSHIP- A while back, we all received a request from the membership committee (Vic) to list a few names of people who would be potential members for the future. Only a small number were turned in to Vic. Please try to get these in to Vic. If you need a copy of the memo, please let him know.

The thought of the Day:
