During the year gone by our members participated in the traditional community enterprises and new and worthwhile endeavours were under- taken by the Club. The heretofore good financial position both as to current and welfare account has been maintained if not improved • .... We tried to make the luncheon T{leetings pleasant and meaningful to the membership. It is our endeavour throughout the year to promote Kiwanis fellowship both as between our members as well as our wives and families. There was no r adical departure in the set-up of our club, board and committee me6tings, and much worthwhile discussion took place and much important business was apministered. There were several new ventures undertaken, namely, National Kids ! Day which was an unqualified success, and the bazaar which was also highly successful, not only from the point of view of the financial gain, but also from the point of view of the fellowship as between the women themselves and as between nillny men who helped out . Our attendance record of 80 .9%, I believe is an all time high. Too much credit cannot be given the attendance, program and music com- mittees which made this possible. The adnunistration for 1951 is a particularly strong one and our whole club looks forward to a year of even greater activity, a year replete , . with fine work in all phase s of community endeavour and a year of mighty building in Kiwanis. Yours in Kiwanis, A. H. LiE\ff, President, 1950. December 31st, 1950. Page 1 IVlinutes of the "mnual Heeting held at the Chateau Laurier February 3, 1950 Fresent: B-S per Attendance Register.

MOTION CARRIED Page 3 Minutes of the Annual Meeting - 3 The matter of appointing the five Trustees was then considered • .. Roy Kennedy read the original recommendation made by the Special Committee appointed for that purpose in 1945 as follows: "Five Trustees shall be appointed; two by the Past Presidents; one by the Board of Directors and two by the members at large. Roy suggested that the two members to be nominated by the members should be selected before any others were appoint- ed. He, therefore, moved that Harry Anscombe and Dune Longmire be nominated. Stan Higman said he was afraid that if two Past Presidents were nominated by the General 1,leeting, other Past Presidents might be selected which might result in f our Past Prosidents being Trustees. He also said that, in view of the order in which the appointments were mentioned in the orig- inal recommendation, this order should be adhered to. In view of this, Roy Kennedy was asked to withdraw his motion which he consented to do. Moved by Stan Seconded by Harry Ansc ombe, TR4T the Board shall nom- inate one trustee, then the Past Presidents shall nominate two trustees, after which these noninations shall be announced at a general meeting of the Club to be held as early as possible at which time the final two trustees shall be appointed.
