Fantastic meeting last night, great coffee & treats, followed by an awesome presentation from our Director of Community Relations, Calvin Perry.
Calvin and his team of volunteers (Bill Melnychuk, Margo McNab, William Spekkens, Gene Hutchinson, Greg Nevin, Wayne Peden, Neil Fickling, Pat Mawhinney) presented their prototype “Turtle Basking Net” to the membership last night, it was a well thought out prototype, which inthe end will benefit the CLOCA (Central Lake Ontario Conversation Authority) greatly with their turtle program. Special thanks to Calvin, who not only MC’d the presentation, but also invited several guest speakers from CLOCA to present their association, as well, Calvin also organized additional guest speakers to participate in the overall event. This was an amazing event, further highlighting the level of community support by the membership of the DWC. For those that could not attend last night, we will posted Calvin’s presentation on the club web site, as well, we’ll have links from CLOCA and hopefully a copy of their presentation for everyone to review.
Next Monday night, we will have a guest speaker from Sherwin Williams to discuss painting tips and products, so if you’ve had any questions regarding painting, next week will be a good meeting to attend.
