OLD BUSINESS:

Parcel of Culture:
Praise the Lord, it's done. Package is in the mail and away!

Chair Affair
Club volunteers help with the set up of the event, which was a fund raiser for the Community Village. The event raised about $20,000 – good job to all.

Duck Race
Gaming has the package, ticket proof is being done, Co-Op secured for the whole summer, all weekend. Progress on-going.

District Conference
Cheryl (a real bed hog) and Tim (a lead foot driver) attend the event in Camrose to represent club. Rotaract help run the House of Friendship along with volunteers from the Edmonton Centre club (which is a real super-keen club according to Cheryl).Cheryl agrees to the district Rotaract chair for one more year (which mean we get to keep her in the club for one more year – yaaaaaaa!).

Cheryl also agreed (with help from Edmonton Club) to plan and help host in Edmonton a Zone 22 (a really big area across the Prairies and U.S) Rotaract conference. Our club will be in charge of sponsorship, need club member to take on that role (sit on those hands Michelle – resist the temptation).

Wave fundraiser
Details on event remain MIA. Just waiting for information.

Homeless for a Night
Plenty of club volunteers for the event. Participants still needed, contact Sunrise House if interested.

Stompede fundraiser
Club to operate the merchandise tent, get a donation. Lots of volunteers still needed.

NEW BUSINESS:
