Rona brought the Board up to date on the Killam Family project. Four year old Ryder was born with Spina Bifida, Hydrocephalus, Hydronephrosis and Chiari Malformation II. They recently purchased a minivan which will cost about $35,000 in modifications for Ryder's needs. Rona has been in contact with Chief Lacey, other Rotary Clubs and WBLQ. WBLQ has set the Radiothon to take place on 21 October from 6am - 5pm - for people who would like to stop by to say hello and leave a donation, Chris will be set up in an outdoor location downtown. REMINDER: September 28 we will take a field trip to the United Theatre where we will be greeted by Executive Director Lisa Utman Randall. Lisa will take us on a tour (around the construction). At the tour's end we will hand over our canned goods and adjourn to the Hilltop Cafe or home, as you choose.

Join us from the comfort and safety of home to bid online on more than 70 packages from stunning pieces of one-of-a-kind art to family fun baskets and gift cards to local eateries, there is something for everyone!
