In the absence of President Peter Keen, President-elect Rena Madden called upon members to put forth fundraising ideas.
Rtn Borst put forth a repeat of the successful 2010 Rotary Online Auction, a proposal to host an “antique fair” and an idea borrowed from the Rotary Club of Edmonton Strathcona to market Canada Flags for three holiday weekends Victoria Day, Canada Day and Labour Day.
Shayne MacKinnon was the best prepared and came with a draft brochure promoting a “Hole in One” contest that he proposed to have happen in early June 2011.
Other ideas presented were: a repeat of the Cakewalk or something else by Andi Kidd to be associated with Winterfest; involvement in the 2011 Oktoberfest festivities put forward by Arie Hoogenboom; a Film Festival weekend proposed by Angie Bujold and selling Grocery Cards to local supermarkets.
