Last weeks meeting
There was a power outage at Richmond Country Club, so meeting location was changed to Harold's Bistro on Westminster Hwy. Greeter Stuart waited at the RCC and directed Rotarians to the revised location. We have a wonderful greeter!!
From Pat with thanks! "On March 21st I heard back later in the morning from Maureen Gorst, our RCC Catering Manager, letting me know that a main breaker went, causing the power outage until well after 5:00 p.m"
No "Oh Canada", no "inspiration", no speaker but it was a fun meeting anyway!!
Approx 18 members found their way to the new location

Sergeant At Arms Tidbits
( No SAA)
- Since there was not a SAA section this should be re-titled "just tidbits"!
- Service at Harold's Bistro was amazing, considering that a bunch of noisy Rotarians dropped in unexpectadly.........
Meanderings
- Did you know?.... 11% of people are left handed,....
- (Repeat) From Pat and Paul: Please send any orders for additional "Rhinestone Cowboy" Auction/Gala tickets you might like to Paul and me, and also, please bring payment owing for the ones we have given you already, to Paul and me on Thursday morning.

Today's Chuckle(s)
As blonde man jokes seem quite popular here are a few more
- What did the blonde man say when he saw the Cheerios box? "Omg, donut seeds!"
- Two blondes are facing each other across a wide stream. One yells to the other, 'How do you get to the other side?'
The other blonde replies, 'You are on the other side!'
- Three blond men were walking in the woods and came upon tracks. The first one said, "Look, it's deer tracks." The second one said, "No, it's wolf tracks" and before the third one could answer, they got hit by a train.
