Al Curtis had some worthwhile remarks regarding changes to the Bylaws and Constitution of our Club.  These changes will be updated and we will vote on them at the Dec 10 Meeting.
 
Rotarian Jean reported we received our second installment form the RM of St Andrews for Project Echo.
 
Special thanks to Rotarian Rhonda who reported our first Quiz night raised $1,547.14 for the Club!
 
Guest Speaker Eva presented a slide show of her volunteer time with Foundation in Guatemala.  A very touching and memorable time for her!
 
"The members who were not there missed a wonderful video to see and brought many to tears as they saw the little children that our team went to work with, who came to school even though they did not have anything to eat.  This showed everyone where our Rotary Foundation dollars go and by someone who was actually there in charge of the program that was funded."
- Elaine Elliot
