Minutes |
The minutes were accepted on a motion from Don and seconded by Marc. |
|
Treasurers Report |
Don provided the Treasurers report. The financial picture is much the
same as the last report. We have 400 light sticks left over from Canada with
an estimated value of $400. The girl guided would like some for the Santa
Clause Parade. The light sticks will not last 2 years for the next Canada
Day. Don made a motion that the Girl guides be given the light sticks, which
was seconded by Ted and was passed. |

Counselor Jellett’s Report |
·
There is money in the budget for a pool in the East
end, which could cut into the budget review process. ·
Rob’s staff is presently in place. ·
Either Rob or Louise Lapense (from Rob’s office)
will attend future FCA meetings. |

Newsletter |
The
newsletter was out before the Municipal elections. The newsletter was
distributed with the Journal. Don
indicated he requires Quark Express 5 software to move to the new electronic
format as required by Runge printing. He can purchase the software for $500
to $600. Don made a motion to spend $600.00 to purchase the software, which
was seconded by George and subsequently passed. The
next step would be to purchase a computer for FCA business, so Don would not
have to use his own. A City grant could be pursued for this venture or we
could look at a Trillium grant as Frank had proposed. The applications for
Trillium grants must be in before March. The phone number for information is
239-0680 for Ontario Training Foundation Information. Frank also suggested
that we invite someone from the Community who could train Don on Quark
express. |

presented the FCA award. Fred Sherwin passed on his thanks. Suzanne Sanford sent an email of some recent activities that received
grant money such as day camps and programs for disabled youth as well as

at Marc’s house.
