Mayor Karen Farbridge accepts a cheque for $ 50,000 from the Rotary Club of Guelph Foundation to be used toward the construction of a new wading pool/skating facility in front of the new City Hall. Mayor Farbridge thanked the club for its contribution toward this worthwhile facility.
Geoff Topping gave his second classification talk in five years. He told us about his entrepreneurial spirit even as a teenager at which time he borrowed $ 4,000 to grow a plot of potatoes, harvest them and made some money on it. Growing potatoes was followed by growing hogs a few years later. At age 20 he bought his first truck and entered the world of transportation.
Last Friday President Ian Smith conducted his inaugural meeting at the Cutten Club. He talked about R.I President Ray Klinginsmith' priorities for this 2010/2011 Rotary year; reaching out to younger people and eradication of polio. Each district will be allowed to form up to two e-clubs where members do not meet at regular weekly meetings but use computers and other electronic devices to communicate. With respect to polio eradication, our club has committed to contribute $ 16,500 toward that goal.
