Duck Race
Final steps being taken on application. Committee anticipates submitting application to the government before next general meeting.

In short - our ducks are in a row (yes I went there)...

District Bonspiel (bonspeil? I never know)
Clear the track, here comes.... the Rotaract curling team
Bill, Darrell (Cheryl maybe) agree to make fools of themselves (I mean display their skills) as members of the our club’s curling team under the actual talented leadership of Ashley.
Colleen Tarrant as chair of the event give a description of the event to our guests. There are 48 teams expected, couple hundred Rotarians from across northern Alberta, B.C. and the Territories.
Still seeking volunteers who can offer any time to help at the registration table and volunteer drivers. If you can drive (and we all know that’s a questionable skill in this city) talk to Cedrick as he is coordinating driving.

Membership Director
As previously discussed Jacqueline stepping down as Membership Director to focus on family time. Ashley has formally agreed to take over the spot.

Parcel of Culture
Enough is enough, next general meeting is the DEADLINE for bringing any items for the parcel to be sent to club in Nigeria. Keep it small but bring something that represents the city and Rotaract.

New Items

February Social Event
Darrell to organize. An e-mail will be sent out with details on event.

Meeting end with round table and greeting guests. Next general meeting - Feb. 12, 2008.
