Rotary Club of Sackville Bulletin - December 19, 2019
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Chairperson: President David McKellar  
 
Today was the Rotary Club of Sackville Annual Meeting and was held at Joey’s Restaurant. 
 
David held a moment of silence for the passing of our dear friend and Rotarian Mary Sears.  Following the silent reflection, Rotarians were invited to share their happy remembrances of Mary, her spirit, and her dedication to the Rotary and the Sackville club, and in particular, how she embodied the Rotary moto: Service Above Self.
 
David also informed the club that new Rotarian Theresa Duffy was blown over on Monday in the strong wind and broke her hip.  She is recovering but will unfortunately be unable to join us for the near future.
 
Guests and Visiting Rotarians:  Matt Betti was Erin’s guest again and indicated his interest to perhaps become a member in the New Year.  Bill Edwards visiting from Picton, Ontario. He and Sandra will be staying in Sackville with their daughter, Rotarian Trish Edwards, for the Holidays.
 
50-50 Draw:  Darrell Harvey’s holiday season will not be quite as lavish as he drew the 3 of Hearts instead of the 10 of Hearts losing out on $225.00!
 
Happy Toonies:  Much to the disappointment of those in attendance, Happy Toonies was skipped to provide enough time for the Annual Meeting Agenda.
 
Prior to beginning the Annual Meeting David called Roxy and Janine into the room so that the club could present them with a card and gift thanking them for their tireless service during our breakfast meetings at Joey’s.
