President’s Message:
The strength of our Club lies in its
members. We have two examples over the
past two weeks when at “the last” minute our
guest speakers were unable to attend.
Graham Ford presented the History of the
Erie Canal and John Core on the evolution of
dairy farming in Ontario and Canada using
his family’s three generations in the dairy
farming business. Many more lend their
experience behind the scenes maintain our
website, preparing the monthly bulletin,
recruiting speakers and operating the
technical infrastructure to name only a few.
Many of you have contacted me offering
to become involved with the “running” of the
Club. Offers of such support are timely. Six
new Board members who serve a two year
term for example beginning on September 1
are needed. The Program Committee is
currently recruiting Monthly Program Chairs
for September-August, 2021-22.
For more information about the role of a
Board Member, please contact Past
President, Jim Howse.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Jim Sanders

Revving Up with the Rev:
"What keeps you young?" she asked. The
'she' was a twenty-something receptionist at
LifeLabs where I had tests taken. During
conversation I told her that I had booked my
Covid vaccination shot as the Health Unit
opened up the availability to people over 80.
She said, "You're over 80? What keeps you
young? What's the secret?" I could have said
more but there wasn't time. My only reply
was, "Keep smilin'!"
