Today’s meeting was a
social event since it was the 5th Tuesday of the month. It was held
at the Odd Fellows Hall, upstairs at 1315 Douglas Street. The invitation for us to hold our meeting
here was facilitated by Claire Helm, who is a member of the Rebekahs, an arm of
the Odd Fellows.

Scott Aitchison, Grand
Master, provided us with a tour of the
club rooms including the dining room, the lounge, the billiards room and the
grand hall, the existence and grandiose nature of which was quite a surprise to
most of our Rotary Club members. Scott provided a question and (some) answer
period at the end of the tour. A fairly detailed description of the Odd Fellows
is provided at this link.
Being a social event
there were none of the regular luncheon agenda items performed. Although Joan
Firkins did rise to thank everyone for the success of the Tuscany Dinner and
to follow up on the whereabouts of a
silent auction item. Apparently Jim Force had it! Mary Canty provided
up-to-date information on the health of Hans Ockermueller, currently at the
Royal Jubilee Hospital.
The lunch, arranged by
President Joan and supplied by Thrifty’s, consisted of an assortment of
sandwiches, cookies and a humongous platter of fruit.
The meeting
unofficially ended around 1:15pm. More photos below.
