OPENING CEREMONIES
This bulletin is actually a 2-in-1 which includes our Wind-up BBQ at Past-president Mike's place on June 19 and our final meeting of the Rotary year on June 26.
 
I will use this section of the bulletin to report on the BBQ on June 19.
 
I will try to be brief ... June 19 was the nicest day we had had this season (in my opinion) and a perfect night for a BBQ. When I arrived the BBQ were all ready to go, food was laid out on the back deck and chairs and tables were set for the mingling members and guests.
 
The food was put on the BBQ, folks topped up there wine and other cold drinks and we sat for a fantastic meal! Following the fun and fellowship, we gathered in the Jennings family room for the more formal part of the evening.
PP (past-president) Mike got things going with some Happy Toonies
- Larry was happy because he continued his winning streak. 
-Kathi had a happy/sad toonie - Happy to be with us tonight but sad that it will be her second last official meeting with us as she joins the Mississauga Rotary Club. But, alas, I am sure we will still continue to see Kathi on her visits into our region.
 
PP Mike welcomed everyone to the Jenning's abode and proceeded to hand out the perfect attendance pins as follows: Laureen - 1yr, Mike - 2 yrs, Allan Fox - 20 yrs! and finally Peter 33 yrs !!!
 
Guests - Besides our respective partners and spouses who are infinitely important to us (and I didn't get a list) we also had a prospective member Jimmy and his wife Cassie (guests of Larry's).
 
Our deserved Rotarian of the Year was Stephen, who as club secretary, has provided wise counsel to Mike and kept him on the straight and narrow for the last 2 years.
 
The Paul Harris Fellow was awarded to Peter Ashenhurst.
David Mitten produced a presentation - with Peter's help - on the life and times of Peter. Here it is in brief:
- Born in 1943. Peter's father was an engineer and land surveyer and would eventually buy the business (and sell it in due time and retire to Cambridge). Peter grew up in Hamilton and met his wife, Barbara, who was studying engineering at MacMaster University.
-Rotary involvement - began in 1983 when Charmaine (Peter and Barb's daughter) went on a Rotary exchange to Mexico. They have since hosted 15 students and attended many weddings of their exchange students around the world.
- Peter has been to 12 RI conventions and is one of the organizer of the largest ribfest in Ontario - Burlington Ribfest. He is also an architect of the Cambridge Ribfest.
- In 2017, Peter had open-heart surgery and this has limited some of his travels.
- He is currently Chair of the speaker committee. And we are most fortunate to have Peter as a member of Cambridge North!
 
Mike Jennings was also awarded a PH Fellow.
 
Mike announced that David Mitten will be resigning from the club after 45 years of membership in Rotary. David was a founding member of Cambridge North Rotary and we will miss him dearly. In his words, David declared that Rotary is "the greatest organization in the world". Thank, David, for all your service, friendship and fellowship.
Mike presented David with gift card to SAIL as a small gesture of gratitude.
 
The evening ended with the exchange of pins between the incoming and outgoing presidents, Laureen and Mike. Laureen also presented Mike with plaque for his 2 years + service as President.

GUEST SPEAKER
Our speaker on June 26th was Mike Bernard, who provided his "classification" talk.
 
Mike was born in '84 and studied Economics at U of Western Ontario. In his 2nd year he met Tiffany (who is with us today). Mike wrote his CFA exams in his last year at university and began work with TD Ameritrade at their call centre in London.
 
Zoey, the dog, entered their life sometime in there. 
 
Tiffany moved to Toronto to study nursing at York U. in 2009 and Mike followed shortly thereafter, working for TD Waterhouse. In 2014 Mike moved to TD commercial banking and landed with the Financial Institution Group in 2015.
 
Kids entered the scene in 2015 with the arrival of Kaia and 2017 with Miles. After considering things like daycare expenses, commuting, housing costs and general quality of life, they made the move to Cambridge where Mike is Relations Manager for TD Commercial Banking. His commute is about 2 minutes and Tiffany travels a little further to Grand River Hospital working as a nurse in Labour and Delivery.
 
And, of course, Mike wisely chose to join Cambridge North Rotary.  We are already most greatful to your contributions to the community and the club.  Welcome Aboard.
