HAPPY DOLLARS

Trish, who just returned from 5 weeks of weddings, parties and a new diet in South Africa was happy that the pants she was wearing still fit…………. 
Pam B. was delighted that she got to spend Thanksgiving in Cape Breton along with her one-year-old grandchild. Let’s see! Can you guess the ranking?............ 
Peter has now become “Farmer Pete” as he and Tanya now own a 176-acre farm in downtown Cookville. They will be moving as soon as the house on Squire St. sells. Any takers?............. 
Louise M. was happy at the ideas that came from the RYE students as they brainstormed things they would like to do/see while here in Sackville. She will update the club shortly……….. 
Barb J. spent Thanksgiving with her son and grandchildren. She and Pam can argue who has the best grandchild. Be warned, Wynn’s coming back this week……….Pam H. was a little sad at the state of repairs, or lack thereof, at the Rotary bridge on the campus of MTA. COMMITTEE REPORTS

PRESIDENT’S TIME
Trish read a “thank you” card from the folks at Sappy Fest and reminded members of the upcoming (Oct 13th) RLI in Truro.
GUEST SPEAKER
Today was Club Assembly and Prez Trish chose the October theme – Vocational Service to bring forth to the membership. It is the 2nd of 5 Avenues of Service. It encourages high ethical standards in its membership and is designed for members to inspire others. Each member’s classification represents that member’s vocation. Not only are members expected to conduct business to the highest standards, they are encouraged to take these standards back to the workforce, to communicate honestly, to treat all people fairly, to award achievements and to respect people they come in contact with. It is best said in the words of the 4-way-test – is it the truth, is it fair to all concerned, will it bring goodwill and better friendships, is it beneficial to all concerned.
Trish went on to talk about the Declaration of Rotarians – A Guide of How to Operate Your Business, done through the impact of voluntarism, fellowship, Rotary Youth Leadership, Group Study and Friendship Exchanges. In other words, we have to “Walk the Talk”.
