Rotary Club of Oak Bay Meeting 29 September 2015 - Lunch and tour of the gold display at the BC Museum

Reporter: Jim Laing

The informal meeting / luncheon was headed by President Heather Aked and attended by 20 members and two guests,12 noon, at the Old Spaghetti Factory, Bellevile Street,Victoria, BC.

The menu listed a number of Italian favorites and was served as a sit down luncheon with speedy and excellent service. During lunch, Jack Petrie and Janette Nation hummed a few bars of a beauitful Italian tune that very few of the members recognized, but still enjoyed - unfortunately it was a very short tune!

There was no formal meeting - no speeches - no fines - no problems !!   The lunch gathering ended at 1 pm.

After lunch, Sanjay Uppal, Revenue Manager for the BC Museum led many of the members on a conducted tour of the special gold display at the museum, which was conveniently situated across the street from the restaurant. This display was co-ordinated with a historical display of the Eldorado BC mines, and with gold seeking and mining in Columbia. Members found the tour very interesting and wish to thank Sanjay for hit time and initiative.
