PRESIDENT’S TIME
- GSE - Becky Stuart was the first alternate and she
has now been advised that she will be going to
India. This is the last year for GSE, an alternate
program will perhaps be forthcomingImage
- Trish is heading for Africa for 5 weeks in Sept so a
substitute President will be arranged

GUEST SPEAKER:
Dale Creelman – Image  Classification Talk
- First job at Mt. A was the manager of the
University Centre, the first year that the
Tantramarsh Club started
- Classification: Supply Management.
- Studied to be a Certified Professional Purchaser for 4 years
- The overriding theme in his career at the university was “Change”.
- During his tenure was the very tight financial time at Mt.A when every expense over $50 had to be approved by the controller.
- At the start, very few computer systems were used, thus the implementation of computer generated purchase orders was one of the first items undertaken.
- The volume discounts were worked through an association with other universities to gain purchasing power for all universities.
- Some of the items where volume discounts were obtained was office supplies, bottled gas, scientific and electrical supplies
- The hardest change came at retirement. He was very involved with Rotary and it took 18 months before he realized that he did not have to go to work. His dream was to travel across the country which he and his wife did last summer. Future travels are yet to be determined – perhaps Alaska?
- One of the places he visited was Creelman, Saskatchewan.
- Another favorite was a small town rodeo.
