Of course, we would like to see more Rotary support and tickets are still available and are only $40 each - just let me know, asap.  Details of the event are attached.  However, we are also in dire need of some help selling 1.       Raffle tickets  a.       From 5:00 to 6:30 (Need 3)   b.      From 6:30 to 8:30 (Need 2)   2.       Beverage tickets from 6:30 - 8:15 (Need 1 or 2) 3.       Beverage Behind The Bar helpers from 6:30-9:00  If you would like to help us out by volunteering your time, we would appreciate that.. can you please let me know asap so I can fill the time lots in.  Because this is a fund raiser, if you want to enjoy the food and bidding, (we have so many great items that several of the Live Auction items have been pushed into  silent auction items, some of which are listed on our website at www.pplps.ca), we would ask you to purchase tickets. If you just want to help out during the above time  slots, no tickets are needed.  Thanks. Dave Sharp

Brighton Digital Archives
 
Rotarian Daphne introduced Dennis Fletcher (Fletch) and Ralph Dejonge from Brighton Digital Archives.
 
Fletch and Ralph are 2 of 4 volunteers who make of Brighton Digital Archives. They started about 3 years ago. Realizing they new nothing, they spent 6 months with a professional Archivist at Northumberland County learning. They are part of the Brighton Heritage Advisory Committee of the Municipality. They work out of Hilton Hall. Their purpose is to preserve and share Brighton's history digitally.
 
They obtained photos, documents, artifacts and stories of Brighton's history. It has to tie into Brighton. They receive these as gifts or on loan.
 
Website is available to public; vitacollections.ca/brightonarchives
 
You can contact them via email at hiltonhall@xplornet.ca
 
All images are stored electronically, several times and backed up to preserve Brighton's history one image at a time. The use programs designed for archivists, by the Province of Ontario. They are committed to continually updating the technology.
 
They have some on YouTube. Such as on Memory Junction and Presquile. More to come.
 
They work with Dan Buchanan, 'the history guy'.
 
They are looking for your old pictures and comments on what has been posted. They need to know; What?, When? and Who?
