50/50

With the pot at $210, Gary took the reins. Mahamud had the winning ticket but the elusive Joker remained in hiding. Mahamud was still a winner, Luigi  awarded him with a jaunty cap, that looked great!

 

Guest Speaker - Rotel AGM

Today was the Annual General Meeting for Rotel, so Rotel Board Chair Laird Rasmussen took over and led the meeting.

Dr. Ian Warrack led our club in building Rotel back in 1986. It was a major initiative and fundraising project. Our club is very active on the Rotel Board and our members are members of the legal corporation. Monique Warrack was the first General Manager of Rotel.

Rotel has no debt and is self-sustaining, but now needs some more fundraising to update the motel, including a million dollars for bathroom renovations. Our club will explore how to raise those funds.

Check out Rotel's website for info on the 51-room motel.

President Alex closed the meeting promptly at 1:30pm.
