Posted by Paul LeRoy
President Pieter Stam shared correspondence received: three letters of thanks from Roatary medals students for the bursaries they received; the Woodstock Hospital Foundation extending an invitation for the trip to Queens Park; a letter of thanks from the South Gate Centre for the donation which they will use to purchase a laptop; and a newsletter from the Probus Club (which initiated discussion about possibly co-operating with the Probus Club to donate to Ingamo Homes at Christmas).
President Pieter reported that our out-going exchange student Piers is having some health problems while in Finland. A reminder about the good-bye party for our incoming exchange student, Ren, next Monday at Rama Murthi's home at 7:00 pm.
Harry Levine will be at our meeting next week with Rotary items for sale.
The club Christmas party will be on December 17 at 7:00 pm at the South Gate Centre.
Garry Honcoop called for nominations for two director positions and incoming, incoming President. Paul LeRoy was nominated for a director position by Paul Bradford, Jack Bingham was nominated for a director position by Paul Bradford and Norm Narancsik was nominated for incoming, incoming President by Paul Bradford. Keith Sherman moved that nominations be closed and the motion was carried.
Libby Harmer from VON Oxford was our guest speaker. She is the Co-ordinator of Hospice Volunteer Visitors. She shared with us that the VON has been in Oxford County since 1914 and was the first public health organization. Today they offer a wide variety of programs including adult day programs, Meals on Wheels, seniors exercise programs, and hospice volunteer visitors. Libby also spoke about the new hospice residence that is being developed due to Toyota's donation of the Dunford mansion to VON. A building program is in the process of being decided and a design architect has been consulted. This is in the early stages.
