PAST ACTIVITIES (since the last congress report was prepared):

Date (mm-dd-yy)



06-11-16 5th Annual Yuk Yuk’s Comedy Night

148 Fairly good turn-out and well noted now as a PEO event. Photo booth where people could dress up with funny material was popular and featured PEO logo in background; first time we have tried this activity.

Ticket sales were slow until last few days. Didn’t make a profit. Some Executive found a comedian’s material to be offensive, in spite of the comedians having been coached on what was appropriate. Comedian was a Catholic High School teacher. We have not had this problem in 4 previous years of coaching.

06-13-16 Chapter Board Meeting 13 Good turnout, including the Chair of the local OACETT Chapter

06-16-16 Scholarship Committee Meeting

3 Made selections for 2 PEO Scholarships. It is taking a long time to get the final confirmation paperwork from the universities to allow PEO to pay the funds. One student had to pay $10 to get the required document. Universities are using electronic methods of communication with less formality.

07-16-16 Algonquin Radio Observatory Technical Tour

21 Excellent technical tour of the former National Research Council Observatory now restored back to operation by Thoth Technology. We are now in a much better position to promote the site for a future tour.

07-23-16 Joint Ottawa / Algonquin Chapter Group Tour of Diefenbunker

Unknown Ottawa Chapter graciously made space available for Algonquin members (we filled 20 spots last year).

08-04-16 PPE Prep Session 1 Chapter executive member took the initiative to meet personally with any of the 6 local candidates for the Aug 6 PPE exam. No PEO sponsored webinar appears to have been organized in advance of the exam.

Two people requested the coaching session but only one person showed up!
