Rt Hon. David Johnston to Address the Club
On Wednesday May 29, 2019 the retired Governor General has agreed to speak to the Club at 2 p.m. at the Italian Canadian Club. Both halls are reserved and we anticipate up to 500 to attend. Each member will be able to have two tickets (no cost), and we will be asking members to make a commitment by the end of March for their two tickets. Following that we will send invitations to the other Men’s Club, to Probus, Third Age Learning, four students from each High School in Guelph and a select number of special guests, to the maximum capacity of the hall. It will be a special occasion.

Guelph Wellington Men’s Club, Member Survey January 2019 The Board along with the New Innovations committee has collated the results of the January 2019 Member Survey. Go here to see a Summary of the Collation. This is not the end of the line for these results. The Board has decided that there are several items that have been highlighted by the survey that need further attention and possible action. As we study these results and make decisions of actions to be taken, we will either advise you of these actions or reach out to you for further direction. Your board is continually looking for ways to improve your enjoyment of the Club and will keep you up to date on any changes anticipated.
