PROGRAM – BUSINESS MEETING
Maureen Alexander - founder of the Barberton Historical Society and president of the Mill Bay/Malahat Historical Society - introduced a documentary entitled “One Man’s Dream” on the initial construction of the Malahat highway.  We then viewed the documentary which was very informative and entertaining.  Several members made contributions to the historical society and picked up copies of the DVD and also a book entitled “Bamberton - From Dust to Bust and Back” which was written by Maureen and Andrew Brown.
Maureen is interested in continuing to give her presentation to other organizations and can be reached at 250-743-9196 or dalexander2@shaw.ca .
 
SERGEANT AT ARMS
Carolyn got a few dollars in the (phantom) pig by fining those who did NOT attend the Fall Fair BBQ, gave incorrect information to potential attendees about the location, from Barry for NOT buying Ian a drink as committed, and from Dan for the continued absence of the physical pig.
 
Happy & Sad Dollars:
