We are pleased that our speaker for our October 13th meeting will be Dr. Chris Kilford. His topic will be, Canada and the Changing World Order.
Dr. Kilford last spoke to us in November 2025 on Seeking Solutions in Very Turbulent Times.
His talk was well received then and we are looking forward to his comments on this very important and timely topic.

NOMINATIONS
Your nominating committee has been working over the past couple of months and have generated a slate of candidates for various positions. It does take a reasonable sized team to keep the organization running well. 5 positions are electable. These are: President, Vice-President, Treasurer, Secretary, Membership Chair. We do have a slate of nominees for these positions with the exception of Treasurer as our present Treasurer, Bob Witzel, is taking a well-earned leave from the position.
We are particularly seeking to fill the position of Treasurer--an absolute requirement for our club. You do not need to be an accountant or bookkeeper to fill this position, but some comfort with computer record keeping would be helpful. The club uses Money Minder software and our present Treasurer, Bob Witzel, will help the new Treasurer become accustomed to its use.
Please contact Ken Marsh or Bob Phillips if you are willing to consider this position.
AGM
The AGM will be held at the November 10 meeting.

Photo of the Month
This is a Pileated Woodpecker that was attacking one of our trees. The Pileated Woodpecker is the largest woodpecker in North America, measuring 16 to 19 inches long with a wingspan of close to 30 inches. Their favourite meal is carpenter ants. Could have used one around the clubhouse recently.
