From time to time a club luncheon focuses on the business of the club rather than having a guest speaker. This is called an “Assembly”.
 
The January 20th luncheon was such a meeting and was led by President Jack McMaster.
 
A number of reports were received:
 
Rtn Anna Triani gave a brief report on the member interviews and the new member information sheet.
 
Rtn Jack presented highlights of the Tri-Club ( Kenora, Dryden, Sioux Lookout) meeting held last Saturday, January 16th where it was decided that the three clubs would looked at ways of helping each other for example with the Kenora and Sioux Lookout “Lobsterfests”. In addition collaboration on the 2017 District Conference in Kenora was agreed to and a committee was established in which Rtns John Carlucci and Margaret Sabo volunteered to represent our club.
 
Rtn Pat reported that to date , the club has netted $62,000 from Bingo of which $6000 is the Sioux Lookout share.

President Jack also reported that Rotary Leadership events would possibly take place this fall on a weekend. He also reported that the executive committee was studying a regional project involving a First Nation and regional collaboration on an international project involving a school in Guatemala. A motion was approved to allocate $5000 to support such in initiatives.
 
A second motion was approved to submit our annual $2000 allocated for polio plus before end of February so we can get matching funds from Bill/Melinda Gates Foundation.
 
Finally a discussion occurred regarding the need for more publicity regarded Rotary Youth camps throughout the world including the Wilderness Adventure Camp at Sioux Lookout sponsored and organized by that club.
