SUMMARY OF MINUTES OF
JUNE 24, 2010 MEETING
In recognition of the honour the
City of Kamloops bestowed on our Liz Lyne, we presented her with a bouquet of
roses, a card and a book in which she can keep track of the many things she does
for us and others in the community.
CANADA DAY CORDINATOR REPORT (JOE
LEONG):
Joe
confirmed groups wanting display tents. A discussion followed whereby the
routines for food booths were discussed to note that the health inspectors will
be at the site at 9:00 am on July 1 and that sales cannot take place until after
their inspection of your booth which should take about 20 minutes per booth.
Ambo moved that sales not
take place Canada until 11:00 am and the motion was passed throw-away items.
Joe noted that food booths need a
heavy gauge extension cord. The power is on at 6:00 pm the night before and two
ssecurity guards will be on duty all night. Booths require their own tables and
chairs. George noted that three buckets (hand washing, utensil washing and
rinsing) are needed unless using
Joe distributed packages of flags
and Canada 150 pins urging the food booth people in particular to display and
distribute these items as part of our obligation related to our government
grant.
OPENING
CEREMONIES (LOUISE MALAHOFF):
Louise reported all in
place except for last minute change of protocol officer who is on his way from
England (in time for his duties we hope). She called for confirmation of
ethnic speaking greeters: 11:30 in costume. It was also noted that as far
we know Evelyn Camille (elder) will represent the local band on stage during the
opening ceremonies.
RAFFLE (ELSIE
CHEUNG):
Elsie reported that she had
more than enough gift certificates (22) collected (thanks to those who did the
job in her absence),
and that any are left over
we can have a draw at our annual social.
ETHNIC STAGE (DEL TURNER):
Aside from some last minute additions and deletions, the program is in place
ending this year at 5:00 instead of 6:00 pm.
A student from TRU is to act as a stage assistant with Larry read doing the MC
honours again this year.
PRESIDENT'S REPORT:

on his contacts with the Indian Band.
TREASURER'S
