  Sports Director Cde Bill Howe reported that the wind up for darts on June 30 went well and everyone had fun.

  Maintenance Director Cde Gord Deprez reported that the Hall doors are waiting on a firm delivery date, so the completion date given last meeting may be incorrect, depending on delivery date. If the doors are not going to be completed by Quarry Days, we will wait until after.The BBQ storage shed is working out well. The shed for recyclables is big enough, but boxes etc. should be cut down before being placed in it. The deep fryer, which is now 5 years old (how time flies!) needed repair and is now back in action.

  Entertainment Director Bonnie Brennan reported that on Friday, Aug. 17 Sonny & the Hurricanes will be in the clubroom for Quarry Days.  For the Vets’ Supper and Dance on Nov. 3 we have the Marvells.  The meal will be at 5:30 followed by speeches, with the dance after that, probably around 8:30.
