PIN PAL STORIES

Trish spent the last two weeks in Ontario where she had the chance to meet the in-bound RYE student from Belgium.  With the entire goings on, she didn't make the Club meeting in Ennismore.  
Ken was driving in Town when he spotted a small trailer with a Rotary sign on it.  Seems it was from a Rotary Club in Ontario, who had just delivered an ambulance and firefighting equipment to a ship in Saint John, destined for Guatemala.

Pam met some Rotarians when she visited a new restaurant during its opening.

HAPPY DOLLARS

Mitchell had some sad and some happy dollars this week.  He was happy because his family bought a golf cart, and he gets to drive it.  He was sad because he returns to school next week………….

Wynn was happy that he no longer is the Prez. of the NBGA Seniors Division.  He was also happy he won the Team Trophy at a tournament at the Algonquin in St. Andrews………….

In an emotional sad dollar, Trish wished her best friend Becky, Bon-Voyage as she gets set to move to Port Rowan Ontario…………

Marita was happy for the care she and her daughter received at a clinic in New England.  They seemed to have figured out why her daughter's spine is out of alignment.  They have prescribed new glasses which will help with orientation………….

Ken was happy that the Club has two dedicated members who make sure our Club Runner system is up to date for communication to the membership. The members he was referring to were Dale & Wayne.  (Ed. Note Very nice gesture Ken)…………

Ove was happy that he and Pat are going to be Grandparents again.  Daughter Anna is due for the second time…………

SPEAKER

This week Barb had the pleasure of introducing our guest speaker – Inga Hansen, a MTA BFA graduate of MTA who is currently in a Master's program at the NS College of Art & Design.  
For the summer, Inga has been working at Keillor House Museum in Dorchester, curating old clothes from 1860 to 1960.  She has accumulated 20 mannequins holding the refurbished clothes from this era.  She shared pictures of clothes from 1905 to 1960, while describing the changes that occurred each 10 years.  With clothes this old, great care has to be taken as they are sensitive to humidity and light.  They are store in a humidity controlled room.  Currently, it is the younger women who are dictating fashion.  Inga invited the members to come see these clothes and to look at other items such as bedding and napkins.
Inga was thanked by Barb with a presentation of a book in her name that will be donated to a local library.
