PRESIDENT’S TIME

Trish received a letter from Marshview School thanking us for our continued support of the breakfast program.  She also reminded us of the Rotary Gala this coming Saturday night in           Dieppe.

Luc Babineau gave us a wonderful talk on his GSE trip to Venezuela.  His cultural and vocational exchange allowed him to visit medical facilities, a rehab clinic, senior home for women,         chocolate facility and to participate in a live TV talk and radio show.  The country is very wealthy due to oil which is 40% of their federal budget along with natural gas. They  also have         beautiful women who hold 6 Miss International, 6 Universe and 6 World titles.

       John Murchie thanked Luc and we closed with the four way test.
