We love ourcommunity and want toServe our community to the best of our abilities tomake it a more enjoyable and safer place. We cannotlet the recent setbacks affect our goal. Bob wouldn'twant us to mope around, he would want us to keepstriving for new ideas and ways to make ourcommunity better.
I will miss Bob as we had become good friends and Irespected his work ethic and ability to be fluid inmany situations. I will try to embody his amazingcharacteristics as I lead our group for this next year. Ihave many ideas to bring to the table about how toproceed this year. We need to motivate and give ourcommunity something to look forward too.

Treasurer’s Report
EVENTS FOR THIS MONTH
You will likely receive a phonecall or email to tell you whenthis meeting will take place.Topics of discussion:
We will attempt to organize ameeting where we will all cometogether to plan our future.
Wherever that is there shouldbe enough room so wecan sit 6 feet apart.
Breakfasts - take away pancake breakfast?? Thoughts
Elimination draw - No dinner, virtual andtelevised, will need max 5 volunteers
HOCKEY DRAWWe still have 4 gamesremaining in the HockeyDraw without games todetermine winners. TheNHL has cancelled theseason.
I will then need to determine the losers and ata later date get someone to draw the 5 losers.
Games 18, 19 and 20 will follow the sameprocedure - One volunteer will pull all tickets.
The fairest way to do thisis to draw the winnersfrom a group of 64 numbers.
Game 17 - Draw 3 tickets - 1st, 2nd, 3rdperiods then return the tickets to the drawcontainer.
Sanitizer will be provided so the drawvolunteers can clean up after.

- My car probably thinks I died.
- When we come out of this and I ask you whereyou want to eat, I do NOT want to hear, “I don'tknow.” YOU HAD 45 DAYS!
- Just bought six pounds of cheese. Won't needtoilet paper now.
- Can't wait until this is over so I can go back tosocial distancing on my own terms.
- If your parents are over 60 and want to go out ...FORBID THEM! If they complain and say, “Buteveryone else is doing it”, tell them, “You're noteveryone.” IT'S PAYBACK TIME!
- Grocery shopping has become a real life versionof Pac-Man. Avoid everyone, get the fruit, andtake any route possible to avoid conflict.
- Quarantine Day 16. I've started taking calls fromtelemarketers. Some of them are actually quitenice. Jamar from Superior Life Insurance has anew baby.

- I used to spin that toilet paper like I was on Wheelof Fortune. Now I turn it like I'm cracking a safe!
- All I can think about now when I'm watching anyTV show or movie is how everyone is standingWAY too close together.
- Just saw a burglar kicking his own door in. I askedhim, “What are you doing?”
He said, “Working from home.”
- If you thought toilet paper buying was crazy, justwait until 300 million people all want a haircutappointment at the same time.
- All these people are worrying about a baby boomin the next nine months. Two days ofhomeschooling should nip that right in the bud!
- We are just two to three weeks away from learningeveryone's real hair colour.
- It's been a blessing being home with the wife forthree weeks now. We've caught up on everythingI've done wrong for 15 years.
