Treasurer Chris gave a brief update of Club financials as of October 31, 2018. Club is in not too bad shape with revenues slightly more than expenses. Donations included; $200 to local Shuffleboard group, $60 Wreath for rememberance Day, an additional $2,900 for Coats for Kids (total about $5,000 for 50 kids supported), $300 to Foundation Walk. Bank balance at end of October about $60,000. However in November we wrote cheques for $25,000 to the Memorial Park stage and $10,000 for the Legion roof. Chris is concerned that we have enough to keep going until our next fund raising events in 2019. R Victoria gave brief recount of Paint Night - see announcements. Photos on Facebook. R Murray is starting to think about Interclub BBQ for 2019. R Clay is leaving for sunny / warm Mexico in about a week. He will get and report on status of possible Merida Homeless Hospice. (followed by serinaide started by R Jeff and R Dan coming in). R Emily - see minutes of Business meeting. R Ricardo gave brief update on the Youth Exchange program. Eloisa is with 2nd host family at 1669 Carmen Road. Sorting out 3rd host family. 2019 outbound Ethan Taylor in process of completing his long application. 2018 outbound Rochelle in Taiwan is doing well. Her host family has no kids so she spends a lot of time on social media. Ricardo is working with Rick Vandertorn at ENSS to promote Rotary Youth Exchange in school newsletter.
