The program today was the Sun Hat competition. Here we see SEYMOUR greeting us today. Many other Rotarians came with

hats as well. Brian Rothwell and Herman Wahl won the prizes.

Joan Sauve gave a detailed report of our student Serina in Finland. She is in school and has begun to learn Finnish, a difficult language. Things are going well, it seems.

Here are some people eating today.

Adolf began by fining Doug Fleming and Dave Stalwick, then declared that all without hats today must pay. Then he went after happy $s.

Mike Hertz had 10 happy $s to update us on his medical condition and is happy to have a doctor who is very observant and thorough. He is being monitored only.

Dick Bide reported that, after 5 years, a golf ball finally found his window. Jim Solomon had a checkup in Calgary and is now fit to golf. Judy Dickie was happy to report that “School is Starting”: She is NOT!

Dieter Brand was happy about having a good seat today at the table. Dave MacLean is happy to be going to UK for a month. Ian McLaughlin

announced that he and Phyllis have been together for 45 years!
