1 Forward

By Shirley Tomblin

Kiwanis was formed in Detroit, Michigan in 1915 but it was not until May 21, 1919, when delegates to the Fourth International Convention of Kiwanis in Birmingham, Alabama voted to buy their young organization from its owner and founder Allen S. Browne, the gentleman who had originated it, for the sum of $17,500. Their resolute action helped guarantee the autonomy that every Kiwanis Club enjoys today.

In looking for a name for the young organization – researching a phrase from the Otchipew Indian dialect, a Club member and Detroit City Historian suggested “Nun Kee-wa-nis” meaning “We Gather Together For Self-expression” or “We Trade”. The phrase appealed to the young men who promptly shortened it to Kiwanis.

They felt that if they were to flourish as a Club, they must have a common cause – they must seek the inner lift, the inspiration that comes from serving not self but humanity.

The service Club ideal – the We“ Build” spirit had been born.

Let me say here that I have learned that there are no complete Kiwanis Club of records from 1917 because a fire in the building where the Club was located destroyed all records, including the original Charter and a list of the original members. The following information was garnered from notes placed in the Club History files by the late Harry Anscombe who prepared them for a speech he gave at the Club’s 40th Anniversary Dinner.

2 1917 President W.G. Keddie

In late 1916 Kiwanis became “International” when the Kiwanis Club of Hamilton was formed, followed by the Kiwanis Club of on March 8, 1917 and the Kiwanis Club of Ottawa on December 22nd, 1917. That’s when a group of Ottawa business leaders met at the home of furniture dealer Alex Thurston to organize a local chapter of Kiwanis International.

The first official Friday luncheon meeting was held on December 7th at the Chateau Laurier Hotel with 62 members in attendance at a cost of .50 per meal including a place to tie up your horse, and to the present day, these weekly meetings have remained the cornerstone of our Club. The Club’s initiation fee of $10.00 was paid on September 24th , 1917 to George Atkinson who had come to Ottawa from Detroit as the Kiwanis representative to induct the first Board of Directors and Committee Chairmen.

The first meeting of Directors was held five days later in the office of President Keddie. At this meeting the Directors passed a motion that amongst the Club’s classifications be included that of Clergyman.

Board of Directors

• President W.G. Keddie • Vice President Dr. W.C. Macartney • Secretary H.T. Bates • Treasurer D.D. Blackburn • Directors T.R. Browne‚ Lloyd Ault, H.C. Hickman, Lorne Rochester; Chairmen Entertainment Committee S.E. de la Ronde; Oral Booster N.J. Harrison; Silent Boost Howard Carkner; Publicity J.I. Phillips; Membership Alex H. Fitzsimmons; Reception C. Hickman; Sick & Visiting Roy Teetzel.

3 1918 President W.G. Keddie Special Activities

• On April 11, 1918, the Kiwanis Club of Ottawa was granted its charter by Kiwanis International President George F. Hixson, as the 74th Club of Kiwanis International. At that time the membership of our Club was 150. International comprised 125 Clubs and their total membership was in excess of 15,000. • The Club received a request from the Salvation Army for assistance and pledged itself to raise the $40,000 required for the erection of the Grace Hospital on Wellington Street. Club Activities

Club’s Charter • On April 11th the Club’s Charter was presented by George F. Hickson of Rochester, N.Y., Kiwanis International’s first President. The membership stood at 125 members and International comprised of 125 Clubs with total membership of more than 15,000. The standard or objective of Kiwanis International then was “The Square Deal and the Golden Rule in Business”. At this meeting the “original” Officers were re-elected to hold office until the time of the Annual Meeting which was scheduled for May 30, 1918. At this meeting Bill Keddie was re-elected President, Alex Fitzsimmons was elected Vice-President and D.W. Blackburn was again Treasurer but the office of Secretary was not filled; subsequently Stuart de la Ronde took over these duties. Other Events • 1918 was the year of the great influenza epidemic – all public meetings were prohibited by order of the Board of Health so all Kiwanis meetings were cancelled for a period of time. Three charter members also passed away that year – Syd Criggall, Hal Watters and Basil Reid. That year, the Club started their Christmas Cheer project. • Christmas trees were erected at St. Patrick’s Orphanage and at the Protestant Infants Home and $50 was given to each of these homes for Christmas presents. • One of the first projects undertaken by the Club this year was the arrangement made by members to furnish automobiles for the conveyance of war veterans from the Central Station to their homes on their arrival in the city; five teams took charge of the work and this project was to take place the second week of each month. The V.A.D. of the St. John’s Ambulance Brigade met all trains on which were returning service men. Many were hospital cases and Kiwanians furnished the transportation at all hours of the day and night to take them to their homes or to the hospital. • Frank Stockdale, Retailing Counsel of the Associated Advertising Clubs of the World visited Ottawa for a week and our Kiwanis Club hosted one of his meetings. Tickets for this very important gentleman’s visit to Ottawa sold for $1.25 for the 5 night course and single admission was .40. It was noted that surplus proceeds, should there be any after payment of expenses, would be devoted to some war work. • In 1918 Kiwanis International decreed that Districts be formed and the Kiwanis Club of Ottawa become part of the - District. At the International Convention held in Providence R.I. our Club Vice President, Alex Fitzsimmons was elected the District’s first Governor. In, with Ottawa, in the “OQD” were five other Clubs – Hamilton, Toronto, , and Quebec City.

4 • It was wartime and the question of food supplies was paramount – almost every vacant lot in the city was under cultivation and our Club worked a block known as “The Kiwanis Block”. Oscar Forest gave a ton of fertilizer, Stewart Christie built a hut to store the material and implements, Hal Walters supplied the roofing and Alec Fitzsimmons presented four bags of seed potatoes. From this activity developed the “Soldiers of the Soil” movement designed to procure from amongst teenage boys and girls help for district farmers who, with so many young men in the armed services, found it almost impossible to produce and harvest crops; our Club provided 21 boys to assist in the work of this organization. • Another activity was the equipment of a Kiwanis Playground on McKay Street, really on Government House property near the cricket grounds. This project was carried on in April of 1918, at a cost of some $900. The playground was opened by the on June 15th and was dedicated for the use of boys & girls in the city. • In June our Club assisted the Ottawa Women’s Canadian Club to put on a Street Fair on Cartier Square to assist the “Canadian Patriotic Fund”; also we sponsored a course in Public Relations for local businessmen. • The minutes stated that musical talent appeared at most Kiwanis luncheons. Financials

• In 1918 the annual Club dues were established at $5.00 and because the Club’s finances were in good shape, it was decided not to collect any further dues past April of that year; however (and what happened at that time is not recorded) the Club had to borrow $300 from the Royal Bank in August to carry on. The Directors signed a joint and individual note – the first and only time such a requirement had developed.

5 1919 President H. Fitzsimmons Special Activities

• The Salvation Army Grace Hospital campaign was planned and carried out so well that the amount requested, $40,000 was oversubscribed! Club Activities

• In Civic Affairs, the Kiwanis Club went on record as favouring securing of legislation to make a new alignment of for future building; the proposition to widen Bank Street from Laurier to Wellington had been a bone of contention in City Council for some time. • At Hiawatha Park on the Ottawa River a Settlement House had been built but no provision had been made for the transportation up and down from Ottawa for mothers and their children who were to use the House; Kiwanis stepped in and paid $200 for the use of a launch for the summer. • Among the events held during the year was a joint meeting at the Chateau Laurier with the Canadian Club and the Rotary Club to hear Lord Baden Powell speak. Financials

• The Club membership was 153 members and the fees were set at $10 for 1919. • The Statement of Receipts and Disbursements for the 12 months ending December 31, 1919 showed Total Receipts of $2,445.75 and Disbursements of $2410.29 for a balance of $35.46.

6 1920 President C. G. Keyes Special Activities

• In 1920 at their International Convention in Chicago, the Kiwanis motto “We Build” was adopted. • The first copy of our Kiwanis song was written by Ottawa Kiwanian H.S. Bates – the title was “Let the Lion Roar”! and was sung at a Kiwanis luncheon on Friday, August 23, 1920 (why this song for a Kiwanis Club I will never know!). The original copy is on file in the Kiwanis office. • Our Club organized Ottawa’s first “Safety First Campaign” – for the first time Ottawa streets were zoned with white lined crossings. • The first Club Roster was printed this year. It showed HRH the Prince of Wales as our Honorary Member, President A.H. Fitzsimmons, Vice-President A.R. Ford and Secretary-Treasurer Stuart De la Ronde. Club Activities

• A parade was organized in which Mounted Police, Fire Brigade, Police and soldiers took part. The cost of this campaign was $5000 - $2000 of which was promised by the City Council. This grant was afterwards the subject of litigation when its legality was successfully challenged. An aftermath of the Safety First Campaign was a court decision that the City Council had no power to make this grant of $2000 to assist the Kiwanis Club in their work – further the contestant was awarded costs – these amounted to $804 which the Aldermen had to pay. The Club went on record as being morally obligated to pay these expenses so our Directors were presented with the bill – a settlement was finally agreed upon. • In December the Club staged its first Theatre Night in the old Dominion Theatre, with all Kiwanis talent and they played to a packed house! • Classifications range from Accountants to Bankers, Boat Builders, Carriage Manufacturers, Flour and Feed, Geo. L. Myles Gents Furnishings, Geo. G. Nettleton Jewellers, A.J. Ames (our First Charter Member) Office Stationers & Supplies, Pianos & Phonographs, Seed Merchants. Financials

• The fees for 1920 were set at $20 and the membership was 167. In April of this year our Club members attended a Citizen’s meeting called to consider and make recommendations about the Cross Town tracks and this group was responsible in the eventual removal of the tracks. • The Statement of Receipts and Disbursements for 1920 showed a bank balance of $25.94 with donations made to the St. Patrick’s and Protestant Orphanages and the Boys Home dinner. The Secretary’s salary was $500.00.

7 1921 President C. G. Keyes Club Activities

• The main activity in 1921 was taking over the business management of the Ottawa Boys Choir. The Club looked after its finances, arranged its concerts and backed its obligations. • An attempt was made, unsuccessfully, to organize a Kiwanis Club in Renfrew. • This was the year of the disastrous fire in Aylmer; the town was practically wiped out. At a luncheon meeting an appeal was made and over $500 was collected. • This year saw the Club’s first faux pas. It subscribed $1500 towards the cost of placing a boat on local waters to prepare boys in seamanship. The money was sent to the Navy League of Toronto, but no boat was forthcoming then, or ever. Financials

• The 1921 audited statement of Receipts & Disbursements showed a balance in the Union Bank of $1632.44.

8 1922 President C.G. Keyes Club Activities

• 1922 saw the Kiwanis Club of Ottawa approach success in their first real theatrical venture when they presented “The Jollies of 1922”, a minstrel musical vaudeville revue at the Russell Theatre. • It was noted in the Ottawa Morning Journal that one of the outstanding phases of the presentation was that “prominent business and professional men of the city had stepped from office and store into brightly hued minstrel costumes and given an excellent account of themselves as public entertainers in a show that required individual alertness, adroitness and ability”; it was directed by Kiwanian Ross Harvey. The local orphanages were the recipients of $261 each from this great show - $50 was donated to the Victorian Order of Nurses and $528 went to the Christmas Cheer Fund. • This year saw the Pembroke Kiwanis Club sponsored – the first Club sponsored by the Kiwanis Club of Ottawa - not an easy task in view of the distance between these two areas. • One of our Club’s projects continued to be the business management of the Ottawa Boys Choir. Financials

• The financial statement showed a deficit of $182.39 for this year. Board of Directors

• President: C.G. Keyes, Vice-President: Louis Fournier, Secretary-Treasurer: Stuart E. De la Ronde, Jr. W.E. Houghton was elected District Trustee

9 1923 President F.H. Plant Club Activities

• In 1923 our Club sponsored the Kiwanis Club of Hull but, unfortunately, despite valiant efforts and faithful support from our members, the Club was disbanded in 1928. • Our Club started a “Get Out The Vote” campaign and continued this for several years in connection with civic and other elections. • The third edition of the “Kiwanis Jollies” show netted $1,014.00 and proceeds went to help finance the Club’s Boys’ Work. Plans were made to open a Boy’s Club in the city – this was finalized in 1924. Financials

• The financial statements showed a profit of $3625.66. Board of Directors

• President: F.H. Plant, Vice President: A.J. Major, Secretary-Treasurer: D. Roy Kennedy, District Trustee: E.G. Browne

10 1924 President W. E. Houghton Special Activities

• In 1924 Mr. C.J. Atkinson, General Secretary of the Boys Club Federation of New York approached the Kiwanis Club of Ottawa with a proposal for a Boys’ Club in Ottawa. The members immediately went to work and, through the kindness of the city fathers, were granted the use of the old No. 7 Fire Station at 721 Somerset St. West. The members donned their overalls, took saws, hammers, paint pots and brushes and, with the material donated, put the building in first-class condition for a clubhouse. The services of a Superintendent were immediately arranged for; tables, games, gymnasium equipment, victrola, piano and suitable literature were donated, and on April 29th the Club was formally opened – twenty-four members being enrolled the first day. The first to enrol was Gordon Henderson, who later became our Club President in 1952. The boys were all examined by the Medical and Dental Committees, and proper treatment was provided at no charge, mainly by doctors and dentists in the Club. In several cases, with the parents’ consent, operations were performed in order to put the boys in proper physical condition. • The Club now has a membership of 181 and takes a prominent part in various lines of athletics. At the request of a number of boys who were working, arrangements were made with the Technical School Board for two night classes which indicates very clearly that, under proper supervision, these lads were eager to grasp every possible facility to properly equip them for manhood. • That the Kiwanis Club’s efforts had already borne fruit was quite apparent – Judge McKinley of the Juvenile Court stated that, prior to the opening of the Club, the weekly average of boy delinquency appearing before him was 10 to 12 cases, whereas during the past seven weeks, not a single case of boy delinquency appeared from that section of the City. For the first year one Kiwanian was on duty each night to teach the boys Life Saving, First Aid and Handicrafts; 10 young boys were given employment by Club members during the first year of its operation and many attended Christie Lake Camp – their first ever camping experience. Club Activities

• The Club continued with assistance to the Ottawa Boys Choir and by this year had reached their objective of 100 voices and the average attendance at the weekly practices had attained a proud 90%. • On February 13, 1924 the Ottawa Journal stated that “the largest audience which has yet been accommodated in the spacious assembly hall of Collegiate Institute and which packed that auditorium to its doors was observed, and it is freely acknowledged that the Kiwanis Club never undertakes an enterprise without its being carried to a success”. The choir also sang at orphanages, for underprivileged children, and at city hospitals. • The Kiwanians made their first radio broadcast over Stations C.N.R.O & C.K.C.O. The Kiwanis Club of Ottawa Boys Choir and the Kiwanis Glee Club furnished the program – the occasion was to publicize the above concert. • They also sponsored the Day Nursery at the Central Exhibition at a cost of $73.80 and organized a “Courtesy Week”. At one of the luncheons, $658 was collected for the survivors of the Japanese earthquake. Board of Directors

• President: W. Ernest Houghton, Secretary-Treasurer: D. Roy Kennedy

11 1925 President Charles Hickman Special Activities

• The Club hosted the District Convention and made history – it was the finest Convention that yet had been staged. On the closing night 1500 dancers took to the floor of the Auditorium for the “biggest dance ever held in Ottawa”. It is noteworthy that members from Rotary, Lions and the Hundred Club placed cars at the disposal of Kiwanis during the District Convention. • The first official Kiwanis Bulletin was published this year – the “Kuips and Kriticisms” was published monthly; the Editor-in-Chief was W.F. Bowden Martin and the Kiwanis Offices were in the Trust Building on Sparks St. One of the “Kuips” noted that the cost of each 4 page printed Bulletin was borne by a different Club member each month. Club Activities

• Our town-country work started with a farmers’ luncheon held on October 23rd – every Kiwanian was required to entertain one farmer guest. • The Club held a Hallowe’en Dance – the event would have been a success but a bazaar was added and the profits were nil. • The Kiwanis Ladies, from an evening bridge party, raised most of the money spent on a piano which was placed in the Soldier’s Ward at the Civic Hospital. The ladies contributed $300 and the remaining $135 came from fines collected at the District Convention. Financials

• Club membership in 1925 was 148 and the Club budget was $3,775.00. Eleven members had 100% attendance in 1925. Board of Directors

• President: Charles Hickman, 1st Vice President: E.S. Miller, 2nd Vice-President: Grant Davidson, District Trustee: E.M. Barrett

12 1926 President E. S. Miller Special Activities

• Following the practice of former years, we again helped some 75 families at Christmas by presenting each with a large basket of food, clothing, toys, etc. This, along with a contribution of $4.00 by each member, brought Christmas joy to the mothers and children in homes where baskets were delivered. Club Activities

Kiwanis Boys Club • In 1926 the Kiwanis Boys Club had 286 boys enrolled as Club members – each paying a small fee of $0.10 from which fund flowers were provided for sick members. Free medical treatment had been provided for some 30 members. • A delegation of 12 boys from Palmers School, London, , who were visiting Canada on an educational tour, was taken care of by having the boys billeted in the home of Ottawa Club members during their visit here; we gave further assistance by arranging to have these boys cared for by Kiwanis Clubs in Montreal, Toronto and Hamilton. • Since the Club started, 57 boys have found employment and 26 boys have been awarded St. John’s Ambulance certificates. 93 boys were sent toChristie Lake Camp and secured a number of Efficiency Badges. Interclubs • Members took part in Interclubs with the Pembroke and Hull Clubs and Stan Higman was elected International Vice-President at the International Convention held in Montreal.

13 Other Events • A Hallowe’en Dance was held at the Auditorium – tickets were $1.00 each and it netted $548.63 for the Boys Club project. The Boys Club membership now stood at 247 members and 48 associate members. From July 1926 to July 1927 there was an aggregate attendance of 17,259 boys or an average daily attendance of 87. Out of this group was formed a new Boy Scout Troop and a Kiwanis Cubs Troop. • The Ontario Department of Agriculture co-operated with the Kiwanis Club of Ottawa in conducting aBoys Potato Growing Contest in Carleton and Russell counties. The contest was open to all boys from 12 to 19 years and the potato seeds were supplied by members of the Kiwanis Club. • The object of the Kiwanis Club in initiating this work was to develop a closer and more cordial relationship between the farmer and the city man. Excellent prizes were given for those making the best showing – First prize was two weeks in Kemptville Agricultural School and $5.00 cash. • During this year the Club made representation to City Hall re the removal of what was known as the “Cross Town Railroad Tracks” and supported the building of the High School of Commerce. • They were also very involved in the “Get Out And Vote” campaign by providing special display cards for street cars and shop windows, by purchasing ads in local newspapers, on radio stations CNRO and CKCO and by inviting local clergy to make announcements from the pulpits. • ThePublic Affairs Committee brought pleasure to soldiers and other patients in the Civic Hospital by making a systematic collection of magazines, books, etc. and taking them to them in the Hospital. Board of Directors

• President: E.S. Miller, Immediate Past President: Charles Hickman, 1st Vice-President: E.M. Barrett, 2nd Vice-President: A.J. Ames, Secretary-Treasurer D. Roy Kennedy, District Trustee: Frank J. Hearns

14 1927 President Arthur J. Ames Special Activities

• We were awarded the District Efficiency Cup for the most efficient Club in the District in 1927. • Kiwanian Ray Tubman made it possible for about 3000 youngsters to get a real kick out of the Christmas holidays by giving them the use of both the Regent and the Imperial Theatres through the Christmas Cheer Committee; each child received a bag of candy before leaving the theatre. 85 Christmas Baskets were assembled and delivered by Club members to the needy in our community. • On July 5th the Kiwanis Club of Cornwall was sponsored by our Club with 36 members and many members from the Pembroke, Hull, Montreal and Northern New York State Clubs joined our Club for their Charter Night. • Over $4000 was raised for the Club’s Welfare work - $2,006 from the Minstrel Show, $707 as subscriptions from Kiwanians to the Boys Fund, $68 from a concert by the boys of the Boys Club, $925 from the Hallowe’en Dance and $307 from the Kiwanis Ladies’ Bridge. The Kiwanis Ladies (wives of Kiwanians) continue to support the Kiwanis Club where possible. Club Activities

Ottawa Kiwanis Boys Club • The Ottawa Kiwanis Boys Club is now in its 4th year and membership now stands at 247 members and 48 associate members. Evidence of the training received by the boys is shown by the results of Woodworking and Hobby Exhibits at this year’s Annual Central Canada Exhibition, where out of 53 entries, the boys secured six 1st prizes, nine 2nd prizes and eleven 3rd prizes – 26 prizes out of 53 entries. • 23 boys have received employment through the Kiwanis Club, needy children have been given boots and shoes, medical members of the Club have examined and treated 2 boys and supplied them with medicine and dental Club members have treated numerous boys and started them off with sound teeth. • Governor General Lord Willingdon was made an Honorary Member of our Club and the Kiwanis Boys Club won the city basketball championship that year. • At the District Convention held in Kingston that year the name of the District was changed to Ontario- Quebec-Maritime District and became known as OQM District. Club Meetings Committee • It is interesting to note that the Club Meetings Committee, under the Chairmanship of Charles Hulse, made over 2500 telephone calls and personal interviews in order to keep the Club attendance as high as possible; the names of members missing 4 meetings were turned over at once to the Goodwill and Grievance Committee for investigation. • The Luncheon Agenda for this year was set as follows: Invocation, Luncheon, Announcements, Community Singing, Roll Call, Introduction of Speaker, Speaker, Reply and Closing with the singing of O Canada. • The monthly bulletin was changed this year to a weekly bulletin – editor was D.

A. Stimson Co. • Kiwanians were elected in every office of Municipal Government including the office of Mayor, Board of Control, Aldermen and School Trustees – which speaks well for the interest Kiwanis takes in Community Service. Financials

• 1931 Officers were President N.B. MacRostie, Vice-President W.W. MacKay, Honorary Secretary-Treasurer D. Roy Kennedy and District Trustee W.C. Macartney.

20 1932 President Dr. W. Wallace McKay Special Activities

• One of the highlights of the Club luncheons were members’ “Boosts” where members boosted their business – at times a number of members of the same classification of business would boost jointly – an excellent opportunity for members to speak to the Club about their business and products. This year’s Chairman of the Boost Committee was J. Arnt Loa. • Unfavourable business and economic conditions at this time have been directly reflected in the lower attendance at Kiwanis luncheons; 10 members received their 100% attendance pins. Club Activities

Kiwanis Boys Club • TheKiwanis Boys Club had one of its most successful years since its inception in 1924. The membership was at 450 boys and the expenditures for the year were $3,059.96. Other Club Activities • This year, it was decided to dispense with the delivery of Christmas baskets in view of the response of the public to the Ottawa Emergency Relief Fund which had been set up and which handled Christmas Cheer to the needy. • During this year, it was decided to change the luncheon hour from 12:45 p.m. to 12:30 p.m. The Ottawa Club visited the Whitlock Golf Club and played an Inter Club Golf match with the Montreal St. Laurent Club – the two top major prizes were won by Ottawa members Joe Thomas and Cecil Burgess. • The membership at the end of 1932 stood at 140 members – 18 new members were inducted and 30 left the Club – because of resignation, death, transfer or removal. • New members were: A.F.

21 1933 President Walter S. Woods Special Activities

• First prizes for bird houses and reed work were won by members of the Kiwanis Boys Club at the World’s Hobby Show Exhibition in . Club Activities

• Upwards of 28,000 free tickets were distributed by Conklin’s Own Canadian Shows to pupils of Public and Separate schools of Ottawa and Hull as the Kiwanis Karnival opened a week’s procession of attractions at the Central Canada Exhibition Grounds on Cartier Square. A draw for a pony was made from the stubs of all those children in attendance. The Club also operated four of the booths, attended by members. Proceeds of the week were devoted to the Kiwanis Boys Club for the benefit of underprivileged children. Board of Directors

• President Walter S. Woods, Immediate Past President Dr. W. Wallace McKay, Vice President W.R. Low, Honorary Secretary Treasurer S. F. Dadson.

22 1934 President Sidney F. Dadson Special Activities

• The Kiwanis Karnival was moved to from Cartier Square this year and was a greater success in every way except financially. The Club distributed 28,000 tickets to school children in Ottawa and Hull, entitling each child to free admission, a free ride on the ‘Caterpillar’ and a chance on a pony – a net profit of only $2,143 was realized.

The reason for the low return was that, due to circumstances beyond their control, the Club was forced to withdraw the two major prizes of two automobiles. It seems that after sale of tickets throughout Southern Ontario and Quebec was made, the police at the eleventh hour put a stop to this part of the Karnival. As a result, Chairman B.A. Armstrong reported that tickets had to be refunded. This caused a great loss to the Club and many hours of work for all members making the refunds. Club Activities

Kiwanis Boys Club • Under the Chairmanship of J.A.E. Cowley, 700 boys registered and became members of the Kiwanis Boys Club – many applications were refused because of lack of space. A library and an orchestra were added this year with 35 boys being supplied with instruments and taking part in the orchestra. Swimming was also started this year at the Plant Bath – there was no charge to our Club for this activity.

175 boys took advantage of this privilege and many life-saving certificates were won by the end of the year. The boys at the Club set up their own Mayor, Board of Control and Councillors and all questions dealing with their Club activities were fully discussed at their meetings. • Misconduct on the part of Club members was fully investigated, and punishment, if deserved, was meted out to the offenders; it was surprising how justice was administered by this Board and the offender took the consequences in good part, feeling that he had been fairly dealt with by his fellow members. • Expenses for the Boys Club for the year were $2,995. The Boys Club Superintendent, Kenny Cassels, passed away in that year; Robert Stokes, the Assistant Superintendent took charge of the Club on Oct. 1st. Other Club Activities • 157 names were submitted to the Christmas Cheer Committee, under the Chair F.L. Murphy – they took care of 125 baskets and the balance of the names were sent to the Christmas Exchange. The cost of each basket was approximately $4.99. • Interclubs were held with the Montreal St. Laurent Club, Pembroke Club and the Cornwall Club.

Financials

• The Boys Club Budget for the year was $2,995.00. • The Financial Statements for the year show $3,200 in the Reserve Fund, surplus of $2,542 in the Welfare Fund and $1,030 in the General Fund. Board of Directors

• President Sidney F. Dadson, Immediate Past President Walter S. Woods, Vice Presidents H.I. Anscombe, Col. D. Carmichael, R.A. Seasons and A.D. Stewart, Honorary Secretary-Treasurer V.S. Castledine. 23 1935 President William R. Low Special Activities

• 1935 was the last year for our involvement in the Kiwanis Boys Club. With in excess of 600 boys, it became impossible for the Club to raise sufficient funds to keep the Boys Club in full operation and it got beyond the ability of individual members of Kiwanis to direct the activities. The Kiwanis Boys Club then became the Ottawa Boys Club on Jan. 1st , 1936 and the ‘Community Chest’ provided the necessary funds and staff to keep the Club going. Total attendance in the Boys Club this year was 44,535. • This year the Kiwanis“ K-Ray” Magazine was first printed – our own District Magazine which was distributed to all members in the OQM District. • This was the year that theClub became incorporated and was officially known as The Kiwanis Club of Ottawa Inc. On April 24th, 1935 the Incorporation was granted by the Ontario Government. Club Activities

• TheWays & Means Committee held a Kiwanis Circus at the Convention Hall but, due to bad weather and a bad location, it was not a success. A Millionaire’s Night was held at the Standish Hall where a profit of $110 was realized. • In June 1935, Dr. Beauchesne, Clerk of the House of Commons, spoke to the Club on “A Federal District for Ottawa” and in Dec. 1935 Col. Garneau addressed the Club on “The Influence Exercised by the Century and a Half of French Regime in North America”. It is interesting to note that in the report, the Committee states “such addresses will do a great deal to improve the mutual respect and admiration between the two great races which, for the main part, comprise our population”. • The membership at the end of 1935 was 107 Active and 3 Honorary for a total of 110 members – no classification as yet for Privileged nor Senior members. • Arthur Ames was elected Lt. Governor of the Eastern Division of the Ontario-Quebec-Maritime Kiwanis District. Board of Directors

• President was William R. Low, Immediate Past President Sydney F. Dadson, Vice Presidents Vic Castledine, G.W. Pingle, H.N. Loftus and J.I. Phillips. Hon. Secretary Treasurer. Edgar D. Hardy and the Kiwanis Office was located at 193 Sparks St.

24 1936 President Harry J. Anscombe Special Activities

• TheAgriculture Committee sponsored a Kiwanis Boys’ Grain Club. 75 teen-age boys took part in the project which required them to look after one acre of oats, keep record of their crop and finally make an exhibit of one peck of grain grown from their plot. The seeds were obtained from the Central Experimental Farm and the Kemptville Agricultural College. One Kiwanian was charged to visit one boy at least twice during the season, donate ten prizes and bring their boy to the Achievement Day banquet at the Chateau Laurier.

The Hon. James G. Gardner, Minister of Agriculture was the guest speaker at this luncheon, with many other prominent Agriculturists present. The seeds were inspected and prizes allotted to the top 10 boys. The grain exhibits were then entered in the Open Grain Competition at the Ottawa Winter Fair and the exhibits of 3 of the boys were entered in the Royal Winter Fair in Toronto. • A trophy was also presented by our Club for annual competition in the Inter-Calf Club Competition of the Junior Farmers. Club Activities

• After much work between our Club, the Washington, D.C. Club and the International Joint Commission, on July 14, 1936, 17 Kiwanis members visited the Cornwall Club to participate in the unveiling of the Peace Pact Memorial plaque which was erected at the international boundary line on the Roosevelt Bridge at Cornwall. Cost of the plaque was $54.82. There were many Interclubs that year to set up the unveiling of this very important plaque – meetings were set up with the Ogdensburg, Malone, Cornwall, Montreal & Kingston Clubs – a total of 11,000 miles for the year!! • 118 food baskets were packed and delivered to needy families whose names were provided by the Central Bureau of Registration. The baskets were made up in Roy Campbell’s auto showroom; Kiwanis members each contributed $5.00 towards the cost of the baskets. • Our Club donated $250 to the Ottawa School Board to help supply milk to underprivileged children; an Orphans Picnic was held at Connaught Ranges with 125 children attending; Kiwanians provided transportation, directed the games and put on the supper. $100 was approved for the cost of the food, prizes, etc. but only $62.37 was spent on this event by the Club. • The Business Standards Committee made a recommendation to the City that aBetter Business Bureau be formed in the City of Ottawa; although the Kiwanis Club did not feel this was a movement which the Club should sponsor, it is one which they certainly would well endorse if it were formed. • This year Kiwanis International enacted a new by-law allowing members in good standing for at least ten years to relinquish their ‘Active’ classification and become ‘Privileged’ members. Since only two members from any classification or business were allowed at one time, this afforded the opportunity for new members to become active in Kiwanis. • It was in 1936 that the system for the election of officers was changed. Prior to 1936 the elections were by nomination and politics played a major role. The new election method was by ‘transferable’ ballot. After a great deal of discussion and a lot of consideration, it was thought advisable to change our whole election system so as to conform with what we considered an advanced thought in elections. We incorporated a system whereby your Officers will now be elected without a nomination and having as many as possible of the good points of the transferable ballot system. This amendment was carried by the Club at large and on its first application appeared to be found highly satisfactory.

25 Financials

• The Financial report for this year showed total Expenditures of $2,743 (including $50.03 for the Past Presidents Dinner Dance) and Revenue of $2,897 for a balance of Revenue over Expenses of $154. Membership fees for the year were $25.00. Board of Directors

26 1937 President Joseph I. Phillips Special Activities

• Members of the Boys & Girls Work Committee visited the Childrens Hospital on Rideau Street and saw that the Kiwanis ward was badly in need of redecorating; arrangements were made to have this work done, which greatly improved the ward. • ThePresident’s Ball that year was well attended by 248 members and guests. Cost for dinner and dance was $1.50 per person; Chateau Laurier meals were $1.25 – the other $0.25 covered the cost of the orchestra, entertainment, tickets and prizes and left a surplus of $1.27. Club Activities

• The Committee planned to entertain over 500 orphans at a picnic which was to have been held at the Connaught Rifle Ranges, but, unfortunately, this had to be cancelled owing to the Infantile Paralysis epidemic. • Six members attained 100% attendance for the full year. In January, 1937, the by-laws respecting Privileged Membership was changed. At that time and subsequently, certain members who qualified for the Privileged Member classification took advantage of this change. • Several Interclubs were held during the year – to Cornwall, Pembroke (for their 15th anniversary), Montreal and 14 members attended the District Convention in Hamilton for a total of 14,860 miles travelled. • It was recommended that the clergymen, who are Honorary Members of the Club, should be called upon to pay the sum of $5 per annum to cover the necessary expenses of their membership. • One of the programs highlighted for this year was a Millionaires Night held on March 5th staged by the Ways & Means Committee and which raised $128.51. • Annual Kiwanis Golf Tournament took place at the Ottawa Hunt and Golf Club with 22 members participating. The entry fee of $1.00 was sufficient to cover Green Fees and Prizes and the amount of $15 voted by the Executive to the Sports Committee was not used. Financials

27 1938 President Charles H. Hulse Special Activities

• Because so many local children were not able to attend school because of the lack of sufficient clothing, the Boys & Girls Work Committee made arrangements with the Neighbourhood Services to supply and deliver clothing as required; a further arrangement was made with Neighbourhood Services whereby the value of all articles of clothing turned in to them by Kiwanis members would be credited to the Club against purchases - $74.75 was raised this way and cost of the clothes was $239.00 • On May 20th our Club adopted a resolution laid before the members which had been sponsored by the Montreal Club as follows: “Whereas the Members of the Kiwanis Club note with alarm the Dominion wide influences currently at work which are potentially dangerous to the unity and well-being of Canada as a whole”, and “Whereas the Members of the Kiwanis Club likewise survey world unrest, subversive influences, and the decline of personal liberty and democratic institutions”, “be it resolved that the members of the Kiwanis Club hereby re-affirm at this time their adherence to the principles of Confederation, their loyalty to a United Canada, their belief that the future happiness and prosperity of the citizens of the nine Provinces of Canada are absolutely dependent upon complete inter-provincial co-operation and goodwill”. Club Activities

• It was agreed this year that, to take the place of all ticket selling, a $10 annual assessment be made of each member and this amount to be credited to the Activity Fund. • Interesting speakers were found for some Club luncheons including Mayor Stanley Lewis who spoke on “Civic Affairs” and the debating teams from the University of Maine and St. Patrick’s College who debated “resolved that the U.S. & Canada should form a Customs Union”. • In order to give to senior students in the High School of Commerce experience and training in a business environment, our Club sponsored some ninety students from this school who spent 3 weeks during the year in the offices of our members receiving valuable instruction and experience in business detail. • At the Commencement Exercises at the end of this year, President Charles Hulse and Director Victor Castledine presented a Kiwanis Scholarship of $25.00 of which $2.00 each went to two first year students as well as second and third year students based on Academic standing, participation in athletics and for positive influence around the school. • TheChristmas Cheer committee delivered 129 baskets at a cost of approx. $5.00 per basket. • This year theMusic Committee purchased a lantern and adopted the use of slides for the weekly sing song it was agreed by all that the lantern was a great replacement for the old song books.

28 1939 President C. Gordon (Chummy) Watt Special Activities

• TheBoys & Girls Committee, again this year, found that many children of families who were on relief were unable to attend school because the relief allowance for clothing was insufficient to clothe the family properly. An amount of $150 was given to this Committee to be used in outfitting children with clothing from the Neighbourhood Services. • An amount of $232 was approved to purchase lumber to help in the construction of a dining hall at Christie Lake Camp for the Boy Scouts. Kiwanians helped in this building and President Chummy Watt was present at the sod turning ceremony on the opening of this fine building. The hall was named Kiwanis Hall. Club Activities

• The Club continued with theirKiwanis Boys Grain Club competition in the county of Carleton. The purpose of this was to demonstrate the value of good and proper methods of culture, to develop leadership and community co-operation and foster a finer spirit of good-will and understanding between farmers and citizens of Ottawa; 55 boys entered in the competition. The prizes offered were: Senior Class – First Prize – One short course at the Kemptville School of Agriculture; Second Prize - One pure-bred weanling sow; Third Prize – 50 pure-bred baby chicks. We also provided, again this year, a trophy to the winners of the Calf Club competition at the Central Canada Exhibition. This continued until the late 80s and that large cup is now on display in the Kiwanis Office. • It was at the end of this year that it was decided that “because of the over-lapping work already being done in the city by organizations such as the Better Business Bureau, there was no longer the necessity for continuing the Committee on Business Standards as a major Committee of the Club”. • TheDistrict Convention was held in Ottawa this year with 268 Kiwanians registered at a cost of $5.00 each, 170 ladies also paid $5.00 and 3 juniors $3.00 each. • A Convention Grant was received from the OQM District of $750.00 and one from the City of Ottawa of $100.00. This was a two day affair which brought in a profit of $648.00 from this event. • Music continues to be a large part of our Club’s programs; 75 new songs were added to the Club’s collection this year which brings the total number of slides to 200. Bill Lashmar became the Club’s official pianist. • Transportation Chairman Ray Linnen thanked the members of the Transportation Committee for providing three “Fresh Air Drives” throughout the year – to 15 members of the Ottawa Association of the Blind, the Aged Inmates of St. Charles Home on Water Street and to 22 elderly residents of the Protestant Home for the Aged. A tribute was paid to the Ottawa Police Force for supplying arranged routes and escorts for these drives. • TheKiwanis Ball this year highlighted 6 Kiwanians as “Belles of the Ball” – part of a Fashion Show which featured five “gorgeous gals” – and “one zoot-suited master of ceremonies – all former Presidents of the Club.

TheBoys & Girls Work Committee arranged to have 222 excellent garments crated and shipped to air raid victims in Southhampton, England, at a cost of $35.00. • Instead of erecting a large Christmas Tree on the grounds of the Children’s Village on Carling Ave., the money was spent on practical gifts and toys – each girl was given a pair of woolen mitts and each boy a pair of gauntlets. Smaller children received toys and books. Club Activities

• TheBoys & Girls Work Committee had their work cut out for them this year – being wartime, the number of needy cases was larger than ever. Committee members came across numerous cases where the children did not have adequate clothing for the house, let alone to go outside or to school; they discovered many children who had been confined to home for weeks because of lack of clothing. All told, 147 children were clothed at a cost of $472.00. Also, it was discovered that a large number of children in the City had never been in the habit of cleaning their teeth because of lack of tooth brushes. Through Kiwanian Duncan Longmire, they were able to obtain a supply of excellent tooth brushes, classed as ‘seconds’ at a price of .75 per dozen and they distributed 500 dozen of these to the Public Schools and 120 dozen each to the Clinics at the Civic Hospital and Water Street Hospital. The balance of the 100 dozen went to various charitable organizations. • It was decided to forgo the holding of the Orphans Picnic this year as it was felt that the money spent might be required for more pressing needs, particularly as at that time, the problem of evacuating and caring for children from Britain was well to the forefront. • 107 Christmas Baskets were made up and delivered – some of the items in the baskets were: 5 lbs. pastry flour - .13; 1 lb. Raisins -.08; 1 lb. ; 1 lb. Apples; 37 lbs. Potatoes; 2 lbs. Rice; 3 lbs. White beans; 5 lbs. Sugar; 1 lb. Lard; 3 loaves bread; l lb.

Some of their programs included sending a letter to every Kiwanis Club in the United States pointing out that no special restrictions existed to the entry of United States Citizens into Canada as a result of the war – also that American money carried a premium of approximately 10% over Canadian Funds; they promoted the sale of War Savings Stamps at a Club meeting when between 500 and 600 of these stamps were subscribed for; Five meetings were arranged to inform Club members, as well as visitors to the Club, of the war effort of the various Dominions of the Empire Commonwealth.

• The Province of Ontario asked our Kiwanis Club to foster a scheme whereby the cheese factories of Carleton County would be beautified because “a thing of beauty is a joy forever” and England needed cheese and good cheese we were bound to give her.

It was decided that Kiwanians would visit all cheese factories in Carleton County with a hope that a word of encouragement would be given to the operators of these plants; that we would donate prizes for the factory scoring the most points by the way of beautification & that the cheese makers, factory owners or representatives from these factories be entertained by the Club at two luncheons during the year.

The scheme was a glowing success – cheese factories were upgraded and prizes were awarded. • Some 300 orphans from St Joseph’s Orphanage and the Protestant Children’s Village were taken to Britannia Park in members’ cars for the annual picnic. • TheWar Services Committee was one of the busiest in the Club this year with assistance with Blood Donors, Books & Magazines to the troops; Troop Entertainment, Salvage Campaign and assistance with the War Services Campaign.

After a program was set up by the Committee, inquiries throughout the City disclosed that the men of the Ottawa Fire Department and of the Athletic Club of the had plans for activities on the same day. Accordingly the program of the Kiwanis Clubs was adjusted to fit in with the program of the Fire Department and the Athletic Club. This co-ordination worked out very well and was a major factor in making the day a complete success.

Newspapers and radio stations gave strong support to the activities, as well as announcements made in grade schools, in high schools and in universities, in some churches and at all meetings of the three Kiwanis Clubs. The total cost of the day’s activities was $700 due for technical assistance, labour and meal service.

Each member was assessed $2.25 for the permanent-type Roster cover. • Sports & Social Committee held a Cabaret style dance in the Ballroom of the Chateau Laurier which was attended by over 100 Kiwanians, guests and their escorts.

In conjunction with other Kiwanis Clubs in Ottawa, we arranged for full page advertisements in the daily press listing fire safety rules during Fire Prevention Week, arranged and provided transportation to a sugar bush at North Gower for 100 visitors who came to Ottawa under the Colombo Plan and the Post Doctorate Fellowship Research Grants and distributed safe driving pledges to Grade XI students in Ottawa high schools. We sent messages of goodwill to nine Kiwanis Clubs in the US, arranged for a speech on Canada to be recorded by President Whit for delivery at a meeting of the Kiwanis Club of Beaver Falls, Pa. and put on a Christmas Dinner for 60 members of the Good Companions Club. • Public Relations Committee chaired by Henry Stubbins served throughout the year as an action committee endeavouring to acquaint the public with the significant and newsworthy activities of our Club.

The press table was manned weekly by members of the Committee, outstanding speakers were given advance newspaper coverage and arrangements were made, wherever possible, to get advance copies of significant speeches.

The Committee was instrumental in completing the relocation and erection of Kiwanis road signs on highways leading into Ottawa. Kiwanis pins and car stickers were periodically sold at meetings.

General public relations problems dealt with included such matters as early leaving at meetings, relationship problems among the Ottawa Clubs and suggestions for the improvement of American understanding of Canada by the distribution of Canadian films through Kiwanis International.

61 • Sports and Social Committee, under the chairmanship of Mac McLean held a Curling competition at the Rideau Curling Club between the Rotary Club of Ottawa, the Kiwanis Club of Ottawa and the Kiwanis Club of South Ottawa. Our Annual Spring Dance was held at the Assembly Hall with 60 couples dancing to the music of Cammie Howard and his Orchestra, after which a full course smorgasboard was served. The Central Council of Service Clubs held a Golf Tournament at the Chaudiere Golf Club, chaired by West Ottawa Lions Club. Our Club was well represented and South Ottawa Kiwanis again were victorious and upheld the honour of Kiwanis. A most successful Golf Tournament with 60 members from all the Ottawa Kiwanis Clubs was held at the Ottawa Hunt and Golf Club and chaired by our members. • Support of Churches Committee, chaired by Bill MacSkimming was responsible for appointing the padre- of-the-month on a rotation basis. They were responsible for 3 Club luncheons – Brotherhood Week, Easter Week and Armistice Day when a moving ceremony was conducted by members of the Club who were veterans of the wars. A return was made to the custom of holding a Kiwanis Church Service – this took place at Rideau Park United Church, the Church of the President – 50 Kiwanians and their wives were in attendance. The Hall of Religion at the Central Canada Exhibition was not conducted this year but it was recommended that this project be resumed next year. • Ways & Means Committee, led by Larry Stephen reported that the Club needed $10,000 for welfare work this year and the money raised was as follows: Kiwanis Motor Show, attended by 18,576 people brought in $4,350.00; Model Home $4,400.00 (this not including mortgage receivable in the amount of $4,000 in monthly instalments of $40.00 for principal and interest at 6%), Radio Auction $1,844.00 and KL Club $500.00. Arrangements were made for the firm of contractors, C.A. Johnannsen & Sons Ltd. to build a split-level model home in the Rothwell Heights area on a lot which was obtained for the Kiwanis Club by Kiwanian Donald G. Charboneau for $500.00 (and it was pointed out that this lot had a market value of $3,000.00). This home was designed by D’Arcy Helmer.

Our Kiwanis Club got the difference between the cost price and the selling price of the house – the cost was to be the actual cost with a guaranteed maximum price. Kiwanis got the full advantage of material donations of Kiwanians and sub-contractors who donated time and material. We assessed a nominal charge for admission and all advertising on this project was borne by the Club. • TheRadio Auction, under the sub-chairmanship of Allan Castledine, was conducted at Simpson Sears Store at where we used Radio Station CKOY’s air time. The merchandise was delivered from Bill Sparks’ warehouse on Breezehill Avenue. The K-L Club members assisted by manning the telephones to accept bids for merchandise. The donations of merchandise came to $4,200 from local companies. • Youth Services Committee, chaired by Bob Craig reported that again this year there were two Kiwanians present each Friday afternoon at the Children’s Ward to distribute ice cream, candies and favours and Crawley Films again provided films and an operator each week. This year the Kiddies Karnival was held at Kingsmere and 160 children and 25 Sisters from St. Joseph’s and St. Patrick’s Orphanages were entertained. As in the past, Kiwanians turned out in good numbers to provide transportation of shut-ins from St. Charles Home to the special grandstand show at the Ottawa Exhibition. Along with Kiwanians from other Clubs, we took part in the Pig Skin Parade and the teenagers dance for National Kids’ Day.

62 We provided transportation for a group of shut-ins to a special showing of “Pygmalian” at the Ottawa Little Theatre, we sent 32 children to summer camps at a cost of $1,000 and were able to distribute food and cheques to 200 families at Christmas. Financials

• Donations to this Committee were $3,143 and expenses were $3,680. Board of Directors

• Past Presdident Sol Max, President Whit Spratt, Vice Presidents Lyle Blackwell and Jack Rector; Directors Allan Castledine, Doug Scott, Warren Jeffrey, David Morgan, Jack Tattersal & Pete Pedersen; Hon. Secretary Angus McMorran, Hon. Treasurer Baz McEnery.

63 1957 President Jack Rector replaced by Jack Tattersal Special Activities

• Agriculture and Conservation Committee chaired by Harry Pullen reported that a Conservation project was started with a great deal of liaison work between the Committee and the Dominion Government; 2000 seedlings were planted by the Keyclubbers on land owned by the City View Kiwanis Club. • Youth Services Committee chaired by Bob Craig continued with their visits to the Childrens’ Ward of the Civic Hospital, gave a $25.00 a month grant to the YMCA to be used for Saturday morning classes for girls and $500 to the Ottawa Boys Club for emergency lighting for the swimming pool and stairways. The Bicycle Safety Campaign has the potential to become one of the largest projects of the Club – we operated tests at four schools and the interest has never been higher among the students and teachers – Larry Holtby was in charge of the project. Club Activities

• Agriculture and Conservation Committee continued with our scholarship program making a $150 award to a student at MacDonald College and sending young farmers to the United Nations and to visit farms in the eastern United States. The annual Pancake Supper was a success as usual and we continued our liaison with the Central Canada Exhibition, making a special presentation in the Calf Club Competition to the outstanding junior farm entry. Expenses for the year were $571.00 • Air Cadets Chairman Reg Burman reported that the Squadron remained at the steady strength of 60 cadets throughout the year operating two nights per week with lectures carried out at Beaver Barracks and Drill at the Steele Building, 67 Queen Street. An added feature of the training program for the senior cadets was the addition of 20 lectures on Aircraft Control and Radar Warning – the first time any Squadron in the area has undertaken to give this advanced training. Our efficiency rating at the Annual Inspection was 83%. The highlight of extra activities was the week-end trip to Plattsburg, N.Y. where they visited the huge American Air Base; the trip was under the direction of Kiwanian Frank Cauley. • Camp Banting Chairman Gordon Currie was pleased to announce that this year was the most successful of all our camping period. We had a total enrolment of 43 juvenile diabetics representing 19 different localities in Canada and 3 in the United States with a staff of 25. The campers again looked forward to Kiwanis Night when Kiwanians and their wives visited the camp and had dinner with them. • Inter Club Committee organized meetings at 9 Clubs in Division 7 and 4 outside the Division. The highlight of the inter-club year was an inter-club with the Cornwall Kiwanis Club and a guided tour of the St. Lawrence Seaway development. • Key Club Chairman Cammie Howard reported that our 2 Key Clubs were very busy with the O.Q.M District Convention which was held in Ottawa. Our Club, along with other Kiwanis Clubs in the area assisted by billeting in Kiwanis homes 133 visiting Key Club delegates. The Ed Foxton Memorial Shield given to the Key Club with the best attendance for the year was presented to Ottawa Tech Key Club and inscribed “Ottawa Tech Key Club, 1956-57 – Wally Viner, President”. In agreement with South Ottawa Kiwanis Club, who relinquished their interest in , this Committee undertook the job of attempting to establish a Circle K at Carleton. Preliminary study was given the project and information gained seems to indicate the probability of success in the near future. Headway was also made in a direction pointing to the early formation of a Circle K Club in the Eastern Ontario Institute of Technology in 1958 (EOIT).

64 • Membership at year end was 163 Active, 43 Privileged, 8 Honorary for a total of 214. • Music Committee chaired by Bill McCauley was very active again this year with 6 Commercials and 8 large productions which included the Club’s 40th Anniversary and the Christmas Family Party production of “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs”. Thanks goes to Sol Max for the fine creative ability which has sparked most of our productions, to Charlie Wright whose outstanding ability as an M.C. has kept our productions rolling smoothly, to Bert Smith, our talented pianist whose ability to play anything at the drop of the hat has been invaluable, to Ralph McBurney for his excellent work on “Snow White” and to the “orchestra members” Cammie Howard, Ash Benson, Sol Max, Hum Johnston, Earl Hendry, Elmore Tufts, Maxwell Taylor and Abe Lieff. • Program Committee was responsible for excellent luncheon speakers including Hon.l George Prudham, Minister of Mines and Technical Surveys, Dr. John E. Robbins Editor-in-chief, Encyclopedia Canadiana, Frank Clair, Ottawa Rough Riders, Walter J. Turnbull, Deputy Postmaster General, The Singing Sergeants, USAF. • Public and Business Affairs Committee chaired by Irv Keenleyside was responsible for 6 of the Club’s weekly programs – US-Canada Goodwill Week; Parking Authority; address by Mr. J. Harvey Perry, Director, The Canadian Tax Foundation “Should Ottawa be a Federal District”; address by Mr. Vern Byers, Principal, Eastern Ontario Institute of Technology; Panel discussion on Public Recreation in Ottawa and address by Mr. Allen Jarvis, Director of National Gallery of Canada “Theatre Foundation of Ottawa”. The Committee held discussions with Civic Officials on the advisability of the city providing artificial ice rinks to replace the unsatisfactory open natural ice rinks now available. We sent a telegram to the Kiwanis Club of Ottawa, Illinois in time to be read at their weekly meeting during US-Canada Goodwill Week. We supplied a team for the Salvation Army Red Shield Campaign and arranged for spot radio announcements prior to the Federal Election urging citizens to be sure to vote. We provided, from our own membership, the organization and operation of a district in the Ottawa Mass X-Ray Survey – ours was the most successful district in the survey with 3120 x-rays out of a population of 4000. We arranged for the preservation and re-installation of the two Peace Tablets on the Cornwall Bridge which is now being demolished. These tablets were originally placed on the bridge by the joint efforts of the Washington and Ottawa Clubs. • Sports & Social Committee chaired by Bill Morton reported that 200 tickets in support of the local junior hockey team were sold to Club members at two Club luncheons. The “Spring Dance”, held at the Lansdowne Park Assembly Hall was convened by chairman Jack Daly with a Committee consisting of Mac McLean, Bill Muir, Jim Saunders, Allan Castledine and Earl Valley and was again a success. Two receptions were arranged during the year at the Laurentian Club in recognition of two of our outstanding members who were leaving – Dave Morgan and President Jack Rector. The Committee assisted the special 40th Anniversary Party that was held in lieu of the annual Fall Dance. • Support of Churches Committee, under the chairmanship of Ernie Perkin, was responsible for appointing the Padre-of-the-Month on a rotation basis. In co-ordination with other Kiwanis Clubs in Ottawa, we distributed Grace Cards to all restaurants, hotels, etc. in the Ottawa area; the cards provide Graces of the Jewish, Protestant and Roman Catholic faiths. A well attended combined Church Service was held in St Peter’s Lutheran Church with Rev. Arthur Conrad conducting the service. The Committee provided cards at weekly meetings reminding members and guests to attend the Church of their choice on the week-end. Combination testament-psalters were made available by the Committee to the Senior Padre, Veteran’s Pavilion for distribution to those who had been helped spiritually during their illness. 65 • Ways & Means Committee, led by Lew Murray discarded the Radio Auction as it was felt the expense burden was borne by too small a percentage of our Club members and the returns obtained were not commensurate with the dollar value of merchandise donated and the amount of work required in relation to net proceeds. As in previous years, the Kiwanis Motor Show was held in co-operation with the Automotive Dealers Association and C. Caplan Ltd. who sponsored the Fashion Show. A Fur Fashion Show produced by the Fur Trade Association of Canada was held in co-operation with the Ottawa Fur Standards Association under an agreement that all expenses would be paid for by the Fur Trade Association of Canada and one half of the ticket sale proceeds would be turned over to our Club. Three shows were held and the total attendance was 625. We were disappointed in the attendance and felt that some of the reasons may be: a) the type of show (exclusively furs) had little popular appeal; b) No door prizes were given to increase public appeal; c) Insufficient time for co-operation and planning with the three groups concerned. Kiwanis Ideal Family Home – it was agreed to accept Mr. William Teron’s offer to design, build and finance a popular priced contemporary home. The Club was responsible for arranging suitable publicity and for conducting an Open House, the cost of such arrangements being borne by the Club. In return, Mr. Teron agreed to purchase the house at $2,000 over the cost if it was not sold within 60 days after it was put on the market. Mayor Nelms officiated at the opening ceremonies. The sub-committee for this project was headed by Sid Lithwick, John Delavignette, Reid Wilson, Jim Orme, Barry Weatherdon, Al Henry and Jack Russell. Two Grey Cup tickets were purchased by Lyle Blackwell and raffled at a luncheon to raise money for this Committee. Net receipts from all the above projects was $6,134.00. • Youth Services Committee chaired by Bob Craig , with Jack Daly in charge of the Kiddies Karnival, it was once again a success. The picnic was held at Kingsmere this year and about 100 orphans from both homes were present. The Club spent $1,300 on Summer Camps and we transported well over 100 shut-ins to the Ottawa Exhibition Shut-Ins Show. The Club distributed 150 Christmas hampers and 30 cheques – one of the largest among local service clubs. Financials

• Acting on requests from school nurses, $100 was given to supply glasses to needy high school children. Donations to this Committee (mostly for Christmas baskets) totalled $1,951 and expenses were $2,346. Board of Directors

• Past President Whit Spratt; President Jack Rector (replaced by Jack Tattersal); Vice Presidents Lyle Blackwell and Jack Tattersal; Directors Angus McMorran, Doug Scott, Warren Jeffrey, Lloyd Vineberg, Walter Tilden and Pete Pedersen; Hon. Secretary Elmore Tufts; Hon. Treasurer Baz McEnery.

66 1958 President Lloyd Vineberg Special Activities

• Circle K Committee, under the leadership of Larry Stephen was pleased to report that 2 new Circle K Clubs were organized - one at the Eastern Ontario Institute of Technology (EOIT) and one at Carleton University; organizing dinners were held at the Green Valley Restaurant. Financial assistance was provided by our Club to four delegates attending the International Convention in Texas and four at the District Convention in Waterloo. Club Activities

• Agriculture and Conservation Committee was chaired by Harry Pullen. 100 farmers and Kiwanians attended this year’s Carp Pancake Supper and visit to a sugar bush. This year we innovated a new competition at the Central Canada Exhibition where we gave a special award to Junior Farmers for ability to drive farm tractors. Our Club sponsored the opening night of the Ottawa Winter Fair with proceeds going to our Welfare Account in the amount of $1400. Charles Dunbrelle was the winner of the Scholarship awarded to an outstanding student who wished to continue studies at an Agricultural College – this year at MacDonald College, McGill University. • Air Cadet Committee under the leadership of Bill Morton helped organize a Father & Son Night, a weekly Kiwanis luncheon, an out-of-town trip to the Atomic Energy Plant at Chalk River and the usual Christmas Party where Kiwanians helped prepare and serve the food. The year ended with 54 cadets and a rating at the Annual Inspection of 85%. 211 Air Cadet Squadron took part in the Battle of Britain Church Parade, Air Force Day Parade and the Annual Air Cadet Week Parade. Expenditures for the year were $723.00. • Camp Banting Committee chaired by Gordon Currie reported that 42 juvenile diabetics attended camp this year with 5 of these campers coming from the United States. Again Dr. Ralph McKendry headed up the medical staff with Dr. Herb Dardick as the resident doctor. F/O Barbara Leonard was the Dietitian and Mick Mallon, a teacher from the High School of Commerce, was the Program Director. • Key Club Committee chaired by Charlie Richardson reported that several meetings were held with the Rideau Kiwanis Club to help them form a Key Club at Rideau High. We entertained two Keyclubbers each week at a Kiwanis luncheon. The Ed Foxton Memorial Shield assisted greatly in maintaining a keen interest in attendance at each Key Club – Fisher Park were the recipients this year. The Committee made themselves available to the Principals and Faculty Advisors of both high schools to assist in directing attention to a higher scholastic standing as a goal for every Key Clubber. • Gerry Nicholson chaired the Education and Fellowship Committee and organized two weekly luncheons – one where 6 representatives of six Committees discussed the theme “How Shall We Activate in ’58?” and another when 6 new members were inducted and the general question of attendance at Committee meetings was examined. The Committee published news letters compiled from reports submitted by all Committees, distributed information bulletins, arranged for new members to be invited to attend meetings of selected Committees and assigned Committee members to look after new members. Legion of Honour certificates were presented to 5 members of long standing. • Membership & Classification Committee chaired by Tom Johnstone reported that 7 members were approved for Privileged Membership. The wastage of useful service on one hand and the apparent evasion of responsibility on the other afforded to Privileged Membership caused considerable thought by the 1958 Committee. However it was agreed that there was no alternative to the 10 year requirement for transfer to Privileged Membership but it is asked that consideration be given by the Laws and Regulations Committee to amending the requirement to 15 years. Total Active, Privileged and Military Service members at the year end was 202. 67 • Music Committee chaired by Elmore Tufts approved a donation of $300 to an outstanding music student through the Ottawa Music Festival. The highlight of this Committee’s year was the occasion of a very large group of American Kiwanians who were saluted by a “Canada-US Goodwill” program. A commercial was held for Baz McEnery on the occasion of the opening of his new Gestetner Co. office building, a commercial for Percy Comber, a presentation at the Red Feather Luncheon and the climax for 1958 was the presentation of “Cinderella” at the Christmas Family Party. • Program Committee Chair Reid Wilson reported that they were responsible for 52 meetings throughout the year – among these was “a Review of 1957” by the Ottawa Editor of the Financial Post, “Key Club Report on OQM Convention” by Mark Max and Dennis O’Doysk, “The Queensway” by Frank Ayers, Ontario Dept. of Planning and Works, “Football” by Tom Foley, CFRA, “To Serve the People” by Hon. Wm. Hamilton, Postmaster General and “Ottawa Sewage Plant – Nonsense or Necessity” by Gordon McRostie. • Sports & Social Committee Chair Bill Muir reported that the Spring Dance this year was moved to the Beacon Arms Hotel but unfortunately the service was poor and facilities for dancing were at a minimum and we would not recommend this location to future Chairmen of this Committee. The cost was $7.00 per couple and 56 members, wives and guests attended - the affair broke even. A new members reception was held at the Air Force Mess on the Driveway and was very successful. The purpose was to get older Kiwanians out to meet all the new members of the last two years and tickets were $1.00; over 75 members attended together with their sponsors. The final project for the year was the Fall Dance held at the Assembly Hall, Landsdowne Park. Tickets were $7.00 per couple, a 6 piece orchestra was provided together with bar facilities and a buffet dinner. • Support of Churches Committee held 3 Church Services under the Chairmanship of John Y. Harcourt at the Agudath Israel Synagogue, at St. Thomas the Apostle Church and at the Church of Our Lady of Fatima. The Committee assumed responsibility, with the City Tourist Bureau, to print and distribute to hotels, motels and tourist cabins a directory of all churches and synagogues in the Ottawa area, to provide tourists information on the services in the nearest place of worship. The Hall of Religion in the McElroy Building during the Central Canada Exhibition was again visited by a large number of people. • Ways & Means Committee chaired by Fred York organized the Motor Show, the Rummage Sale, the Sale of Winter Fair Tickets, Sale of Orpheus Society Opening Night tickets and Sale of Christmas Candy. $6,500 was realized from these fund raising events. • Youth Services Committee, under the guidance of Lew Murray, continued with the weekly visits to the Hospital Children’s Ward, the Bicycle Safety Program for over 800 students and the Kiddies Karnival which was enjoyed by 120 orphans. 75 shut-ins were again transported to the special Grandstand Show at the CCEA and 130 hampers and 25 cheques were distributed to needy families at Christmas. Grants were made to send children to summer camps and to supply glasses to needy school children. Total expenses for the year $2,760. Board of Directors

• Immediate Past President Lyle Blackwell, President Lloyd Vineberg, Vice Presidents Warren Jeffrey and Walter Tilden, Directors Ash Benson, Morley Donaldson, Cammie Howard, Angus McMorran, Bill Morton, Reid Wilson.

68 1959 President Lloyd Vineberg Special Activities

• Red Eye for Safety Campaign – this involves placing of reflector type warning stickers on specified doors and windows of houses and apartments housing elderly people, invalids or young children. City authorities have given preliminary approval to a proposal from the Committee and organization of the campaign, in co- operation with the City will start in January, 1960 in preparation for a campaign in April. Club Activities

• Agriculture and Conservation Committee was very active this year, as reported by Chairman Bob Surgenor. We sponsored the Carleton and Richmond 4H Clubs, the second annual Farm-City Forum was held at South Carleton High School, the Annual Pancake Supper was held again in Carp and was a complete success in Farm-City relationships. A number of Committee members and friends visited the Kemptville Agricultural School and this is to be an annual visit with particular attention to the Forest Station. We contributed to send a Junior Farmer to the United Nations and also sponsored four young people to the 4H camp at Malone, N.Y. • Air Cadets Chairman Hal Craig was pleased to report that a special Seaway Tour was held for the cadets as well as a Father and Son evening at Beaver Barracks which was attended by 42 cadets and 38 fathers. The Air Cadets took over the April 24th Kiwanis luncheon with G/C Mussels as the guest speaker. The Squadron strength this year was 52 and they took part in the Annual Inspection held at Station Uplands but Commanding Officer Lou Ullrich was very disappointed in that “not a single Kiwanian or Committee member showed up at the Inspection” adding that “this was a black mark against the Squadron and was most embarrassing for the Commanding Officer – it was commented upon most decisively by the Quebec Provincial Committee representative”. Fourteen cadets and two Officers attended the first Summer Camp held at Station St. John’s in Quebec and it proved to be very successful. In the special awards handed out by the Air Cadets League of Canada, our Squadron had one cadet on the Senior Leaders Course, one on the Drill Instructors Course and one, W.O. John Easton, was selected for the Overseas Tour. He was one of two Canadian cadets who went to Norway for six weeks and proved himself a credit to the Cadet organization and as a goodwill ambassador for Canada. We have been more than fortunate in the selection of cadets for the Overseas Tour as this was our fourth Cadet in nine years to have been selected and the average across the country is one in every five years. • Camp Banting – Chairman Gordon Currie was pleased to advise that this year was one of the best in our seven years of operation. The Camp was again directed by Shirley Willette of the YMCA staff and this was the largest camp, 49 juvenile diabetics in all which included 5 campers from the U.S. Dr. Ralph McKendry was again in charge of the Medical Staff, Dr. Jean Sauer was the Resident Camp Doctor and Miss Bernice Jennings the Camp Nurse. The biggest headache was trying to get a Camp Dietician, finally we were fortunate in obtaining Miss Isobel Lockerbie, Chief of the Diet Counselling Service for Diabetics, a service of the Connaught Medical Research Laboratories, . She not only helped us out of a tough spot but also proved most helpful in suggesting and putting into practice newer and better methods of handling the diets. • Circle K Chairman Stu Kennedy reported that the past year has seen our two Circle K Clubs at Carleton University and Eastern Ontario Institute of Technology become firmly entrenched on their respective campus and was a year of encouraging progress for both Clubs.

69 However, Carleton’s move to their new location did nothing to aid their most serious difficulty – the Club there is still finding it almost impossible to find suitable meeting times and this has tended to make recruiting very difficult; however, a nucleus of dedicated young men has kept this Club strong and active. Carleton played host to the Convention of six Clubs in Ontario in an attempt to form an official Circle K District and the prospect looks bright. EOIT expanded and are now an integral part of life at this school. This Club was very active and, as a result of their activities, is in a very strong financial position. Their many activities included operation of a Book Store, soft drink and coffee machines and generally aiding Kiwanis in its service work. Two boys from this Club, with Kiwanis aid, attended the International Convention in Delaware, Ohio. • Extension Committee Chairman John Delavignette was proud to say that the work begun by the Committee during 1958 to form a new Kiwanis Club in Hull, was carried through. Charter Night was held on May 23rd when 36 Hull business men became new Kiwanians that evening. Our Club members turned out in gratifying number for the occasion and the Music Committee participated in their unfailingly efficient way, helping to make the evening a complete success. Contact has been maintained with the sponsored Club and everything points to it being a lively and, in due course, a valuable addition to our Kiwanis family. • Key Club Committee, under the chairmanship of Barry Weatherdon, continued to lead the activities of the Fisher Park and Tech Key Clubs. We entertained two Key Clubbers each week at the Friday luncheon and Kiwanians were in attendance at the regular Key Club meetings. Both Clubs sent representation to the District Convention in Sarnia, chaperoned by Mr. Harvey Hassard, Key Club Advisor at Fisher Park and the Chairman was most happy to accompany five Key Club members to the International Convention in Toronto. We received a request from the Calgary Club for advice on forming a new Key Club and we were pleased to send along the suggestions we had just passed on to the Rideau Club and wished them every success in their new venture. • Education and Fellowship Committee Chair Gerry Nicholson reported that the Committee’s continuing activities were to welcome new members, inform them about the Kiwanis organization and encourage them to participate fully in the work of the Club. The Committee was responsible for holding four induction meetings during the year- at these meetings a total of 35 new members were inducted – a record for a year! As part of its education program the Committee issued new members with a series of five information bulletins on the history and organization of Kiwanis and it distributed copies of the Welcome Song to new members. On the wider front, the Committee observed U.S.-Canada Goodwill Week by sending letters of greeting to the President of each Club in the US. from which individuals or Clubs had visited our Club in the past year. In response to a request from the Kiwanis Club of Ukia, California, the Committee arranged to have the proceedings at the regular meeting of December 4 taped and sent to them. • Membership Committee Chair Orian Low noted that the Club membership at the beginning of the year was 213 members and 225 at the end of the year made up as follows: 169 Active, 47 Privileged, 1 Military and 8 Honorary. • Music Committee headed by Bob Parkinson reported that, besides entertaining at our own Club meetings, the Committee undertook two “outside” engagements, one at the Hull Club Charter Night and one for the Agricultural and Conservation Committee Pancake Supper at Carp. Earl Crowe serenaded the ladies on Ladies’ Day and members of the Committee distributed the President’s roses to all the ladies present. “Two a Day on ” – this was one of the outstanding events of the year. The Committee, complete in costumes, provided a musical extravaganza for the entertainment of the Prime Minister, the Leader of the Opposition, Kiwanian M.P.s and the International Board of Kiwanis.

70 Another amazing program was a salute to the beautiful Esther Williams who was visiting Ottawa – another of our highlight shows with such no less beauties as Ernie Perkin, Al MacFarlane and Percy Comber, escorted by Orian Low, Chuck Turnbull and Bob Parkinson serenading our guest of honour. The Committee members also honoured Sol Max with a production of “Credit Where Credit is Due” as they wanted to show Sol just how much we and the Club appreciate the tremendous effort he puts into the activities of this Committee. This particular program could not have been done without a great deal of effort on the part of Sid Lithwick, Charlie Wright, Ash Benson and Cammie Howard – they wrote and produced the show. Percy Rutledge continues as our Club pianist. • Public Affairs Committee chaired by Ralph McBurney reported on a Housing project for single elderly persons of limited means – the need, availability of land, cost of project, possible designs, methods of financing experience in other Canadian cities were investigated and preliminary and tentative operation and possible financial participation by the Zonta Club and the Ottawa Chapter of the National Council of Women was received and these organizations kept informed of progress. Decision to proceed, subject to financial consideration and approval of the 1960 Board of Directors. The Good Companions Christmas Dinner was sponsored by this Committee but participated in by all Club members and generally, and in particular, by the Jewish members who serve the dinner; it was again a great success. The Seaside Oregon Club requested a tape recording describing Ottawa to be used for service club programs, schools, churches, etc. in their city. The basic material was gathered, recorded and sent to them. Committee members and their wives visited social functions held by the Overseas Friendship Society, which provides facilities for the social activities of foreign students and visitors temporarily located in Ottawa to study Canadian methods of government, business and ways of life. Members of our Committee helped arrange for organized Red Cross Blood Donor donations by hospital staff and National Defence units throughout the city. • Public Relations Committee, under the direction of Gordon Caplan met monthly and it was the policy of the Committee to solicit coverage by press, radio and television of only those meetings and events which were deemed to be worthy of special attention. Members of the Committee each took responsibility of manning the Press Table throughout the entire year. This responsibility included contacting News Editors, when indicated, and sitting with the reporters at the Press Table to assist in respect of names, photographs, etc. The Committee’s chief project during 1959 was the elaborate publicity arrangements for the Parliamentary Luncheon. A series of news releases were sent to papers throughout Canada and north-eastern United States. Ottawa representatives of National and International Periodicals were invited, in addition to regular local outlets. • Sports & Social Committee, chaired by Chuck Turnbull reported on the successful Spring Dance held at the Eastview Hotel. Cost was $6.00 per couple which included cocktails, hors d’oeuvres and coffee. TheMusic Committee provided entertainment and Mac Turner’s Orchestra provided music for dancing. A Member’s Golf Day was held at the Chaudiere Golf & Country Club chaired by Jack Daly. It took the form of a regular luncheon at which a film of the Canadian Open Golf Tournament was shown. 55 members attended the luncheon and 12 played golf. Cost was $2.00 for lunch and $2.50 for golf. An evening of curling was held at the Ottawa Curling Club chaired by Keith Ferguson. Curling was followed by a smorgasbord which was followed by more curling. About 75 members attended and cost was $2.50 per person. Final project was the Fall Dance at the Assembly Hall at a cost of $7.00 per couple. Unfortunately only 21 couples attended which amounted to a loss of $150... probably due to the fact that this fell on the eve of the Grey Cup and this evening followed closely upon the heels of the President’s Bonspiel.

71 It is the opinion of the Committee that there is a general apathy to dances and, in view of the experience of the last two years, that such a form of social entertainment should be dropped until such time as a demand is restored. • Support of Churches Committee, led by John Harcourt Sr. reported that the Hall of Religion at the Central Canada Exhibition was again erected in the McElroy Building. In former years, this had been a project in which other city Clubs participated; in 1959, however, the Ottawa Club assumed full responsibility for design and erection of the display which took a form similar to that of 1958 with slight variations. It was once again a point of interest for the bustling crowd at the Exhibition and elicited much favourable comment. Some progress was made with the project to assist with the furnishings for the Meditation Room in the new wing of the Civic Hospital. While nothing concrete has been accomplished, the Committee, in consultation with the Board of Directors and the Trustees of the Civic Hospital, has decided upon the form which the assistance will take. This will be the provision of four stained glass windows, the design for which is under preparation by a local architect. The cost to the Club has been anticipated to be from $1,500 to $1,750. • Ways & Means Committee, under the direction of Allan MacFarlane, reported that at the start of 1959 this Committee was advised that approximately $10,000 was needed by the Club for the Welfare work for the year. As a result the following projects were completed: Sale of tickets for opening night at the Winter Fair; Sale of tickets for opening night of Orpheus Society productions; Sale of souvenir spoons – this item was not accepted by the public and our profit on this venture was well below our expectations; Sale of Camp Banting candy – this project was quite successful and we realized over $1,200. • Youth Service Committee, chaired by George Cummings, advised that we sponsored summer camps in the amount of $1,300; approximately 150 children from St. Patrick’s and St. Joseph’s Orphanages were escorted to Kingsmere by Club members for the Kiddies Karnival. Kiwanis Kid’s Day is a Kiwanis International event which was pioneered in Canada by one of our own members and therefore this Club has always taken paternal interest in making it a success. In co-operation with the RCAF, all Kiwanis Clubs in the city joined together to entertain 1000 school children at an ”open house” at Uplands Airport. The Air Force put on several flying displays and allowed the children to inspect at close range all the aircraft at the Station. The Kiwanis Clubs undertook transportation, supervision and eats. We contributed $1,500 to the Christmas Cheer, the money was distributed as cash or gifts varying from $6.00 to $12.00 to 74 under privileged families whose names were obtained from the Christmas Exchange. As a new venture we offered to provide gifts(in the amount of $169) of toys to all the children under the care of the Family Service Centre. We arranged transportation and supervision of 90 patients from the St. Charles Home to attend the Special Grandstand Performance as guests of the Exhibition Association. A pilot program of school bursaries was initiated to enable students entering EOIT to complete their first year of studies and thereby qualify for a under the Provincial Student aid Program. One highly qualified student was given a $250 loan and a short term loan of $150 was extended to another student. Were it not for these bursaries, both these students would have been forced to discontinue their studies. Our discussions with various school Principals indicated also that there were a number of students attending local High Schools whose families were in financial need and who, therefore, needed outside encouragement to continue on with their studies. An attempt was made along this line by one of our Committee members in the case of two particularly good students. Financials

The Committee challenged the Squadron to a rifle-shooting competition; a meet was held and the youth triumphed. This type of get-together is most worthwhile and should be encouraged. The Squadron completed all the mandatory subjects and are now instructing the St. John’s Ambulance First Aid Course and the first, second and third year cadets were given the course in National Survival and Civil Defence. Senior cadets are taking the Flying Scholarship course. In the special awards handed out by the Air Cadet League, cadet Sgt.

We had 57 juvenile diabetics with the usual few from the United States. Dr. Ralph McKendry gathered a ‘’ medical staff which did an outstanding job under his careful supervision – one doctor was from the Philippines, one from North India and a nurse from Ottawa. This was the largest turnout of Kiwanians and their families who came out for Kiwanis Night at the camp and it was gratifying to the Committee to see such a good showing of Kiwanians. The Camp Banting Candy Drive brought in $2,293., $2,076. from donations and $715. from fees; cost to the Club for the camp was $2,336. • Circle K Committee, chaired by John Baldwin, reported that the Carleton University Circle K, although they had slipped both in membership and program, has achieved a substantially increased membership and has undertaken a more active program in terms of fund-raising projects and service to the University by the end of the year.

Members were charged $10 per couple and they moved from house to house where food and drinks were offered. This proved to be very successful and raised over $300.00. In May, another Round Robin was organized in the West end of the city which Jim Preston chaired – another great success. A Golf Tournament was held at the Gatineau Golf & Country Club with 75 attending the dinner and golf. Dinner tickets were $2.00 and golf $2.50.

Both Clubs received the Golden Key Award Plaques and two members from Fisher and two from Tech attended the International Convention in Pittsburgh. Tech Key Club gave $250 in School Scholarships and $100 to the school Principal to help needy students. We sponsored 10 Tech and 20 Fisher members to the District Convention in Toronto, chaperoned by Ted Fancott. Fisher Park Key Club won 1st prize in Achievement and in Single Service Project and 2nd prize in Scrapbook. • Education and Fellowship Committee Chairman Harry Fox reported that a Fashion Show of spring styles was held which emphasized the lighter side of our activities; a formal Induction of 18 new members was held; a “Meet the New Member” reception of all new members and some 50 ‘older’ members was held at the Navy Mess. Large name cards are placed at the table where a new member sits during one of his first meetings, with a view to bringing his name to the attention of those present. New members were named to a Committee by the President at their introduction to the Club and they were asked to assist the Reception Committee at the door. • Laws and Regulations Committee Chairman Frank Plant reported that this Committee considered a request by the YMCA that our Club consent to a mortgage being placed on certain lands known as Camp Davern. The consent involved a certain agreement between the YMCA and our Club containing certain restrictive features. Our Committee made recommendations to the Board of Directors, which recommendations were brought before the Club and passed. • Membership and Classification Committee Chairman Art Sinclair reported that 20 new members were accepted into the Club and 20 members resigned or were deceased leaving the Club membership at 212 at year`s end. We mourned the passing of Ran Hartin and Mel Hamilton and Abe Lieff were made Honorary members.

84 • Music Committee Chairman Earl Crowe reported that the tribute to Sally Megill, at the time of her daughter Marion`s wedding, was great fun and we later saluted the Hon. Mr. Justice Abe Lieff when we welcomed some of Abe`s old friends. We ogled models from Freiman`s in our salute to that great store but crass commercialism cut in as a musical free-for-all developed with Caplan`s, Larocque`s, and some other Rideau Street stores getting in their two cents worth. The Family Party brought the old story of Cinderella and the kids loved it. Ted Fancott`s props and especially the Tilden Rent-a-Coach were really appreciated; thanks to Sol Max for his inspiration, wit and leadership at so many times. The highlight of the year was the presentation to our own Leo McCarthy of a cheque for $2,500 to launch the Tech Band Fund. This first contribution was one of many that enabled John Murdie to lead them to a triumphant tour of Europe, an experience these boys will never forget. Our Music Festival scholarship of $300 was won by Peter Smith. • New Club Building Committee Chairman Vic Castledine reported that the Committee decided not to form any additional Clubs this year. It is estimated that the adult male population of Greater Ottawa and Hull is now 90,000 and, as there are 12 Kiwanis Clubs in the area, this works out to one Kiwanian for every 142 male adults. • Programme Committee Chairman John Dunn reported that of the 52 programmes, 15 were arranged by other Committees and 37 by the Programme Committee. The Committee introduced, as a token of our appreciation to our weekly speakers, a print of pictures in the National Gallery by famous Canadian artists. Highlights included D.J. Chapman ‘’The Alouette Project”; Maxwell Taylor “Around the World in 30 Days”; Alan McNab “Safety and Crosswalks”; Exchange of greetings with the Coco Florida Club; Ottawa Tech Band; Red O`Quinn, Ottawa Football Club; The Singing Sergeants who had performed at the Central Canada Exhibition; Hamilton Southam “Arts Complex in Ottawa” and Jean Luc Pepin, MP “Relations between French and English Canadians”. • Public and Business Affairs Committee Chairman George Nelms reported that the Committee’s activities could be classified in three areas a) Local; b) National; c) International. Local – the Committee arranged for a Friday luncheon meeting on the subject of cross-walks which were to be introduced in Ottawa later in the year; the Deputy Minister of Highways was the speaker on this occasion. The Committee, late in the year, began exploring the possibility of promoting a Christmas lighting programme in the City; however, due to the late start, nothing could be done this year and the matter has been passed over to next year’s committee. National – We sent letters to a number of Kiwanis Clubs within a reasonable radius of Ottawa, inviting them to organize bus tours for high school children to see the National Capital and this proved highly successful. A programme was arranged just prior to the general election where a representative of IBM spoke to our Club on the use of computers during an election. International – We invited African students to a May meeting where they were presented with certificates, gifts and the best wishes of the Club on their return to Nigeria. • Public Relations Committee Chairman Fred Price reported that plans were made to approach 6 of our Welfare Committees with a view to suggesting interviews on television and radio stations; arrangements have been made for these to go forward in 1964. We urged strongly that Kiwanis signs at highway entrances to the City be improved and relocated; detailed recommendations are now being made for billboard signs, to list all Kiwanis Clubs and it is hoped that this will also remove unrestricted use of our Club’s telephone number.

85 We received good newspaper coverage for the year – especially the summary of our welfare activities that appeared in the Ottawa Journal. • Reception Committee Chairman Lon Campbell reported that their main duties were to obtain someone to lead the Welcome Song, to welcome guests, to set up the Reception Desk before 12 noon on Fridays and to prepare the guest tags, white sheet and postcards for visiting Kiwanians. • Roster Committee Chairman Jack Norris reported that several meetings were held to work out details for a new Roster; several designs were considered, tenders were called and the work was given to the lowest bidder, Dominion Loose Leaf Company. The rosters were distributed to members at 3 consecutive meetings and the balance mailed direct; the Roster is now completed and will last Club members indefinitely. • Sports and Social Committee Chairman Warren Miller reported that a very successful Bonspiel was held at the Ottawa Hunt Club with rinks participating from 3 other Kiwanis Clubs. Our Spring Round Robin party was held at the homes of Norman Wiles, Tom Assaly and Warren Miller; the Annual Dance was again held at the Ottawa Hunt and Golf Club. We were disappointed in the response of the members in turning out to all the events above – we hope next year will be better. • Support of Churches Committee Chairman Bill Harding reported that the Easter, Thanksgiving and Remembrance Day luncheons were arranged by this Committee. In co-operation with the Ottawa Tourist & Convention Bureau, Church Directories were prepared and placed in all Hotels and Motels in the Ottawa area and have been very favourably received. A theological bursary in the amount of $300 was presented to a Divinity student of the United Church, studying at Queen’s Theological College. A new directory of Churches within walking distance of the Chateau Laurier is in the final stages of completion and will be placed in the Chateau Laurier Hotel lobby. Renovations to the display cards urging Church attendance which are located in Ottawa buses is being undertaken. A Speaker’s Roster, listing names of members of our Club who are willing to accept speaking engagements at meetings of Church organizations is also in the process of completion. • Ways and Means Committee Chairman Chris Schroeder reported that the following projects were accomplished: Candy Drive for Camp Banting $2,120; Opening of the Talisman Hotel $1,200; Convention Tapes $700; Special Donation $5,600; Kiwanis Ladies $1,000; Kiwanis Welfare Assessment $5,000. The LiveTV Auction was cancelled due to the fact that our time on the air would run into Sunday – it is hoped that the Auction next year can be held on a week night or Saturday morning. • Youth Service Committee Chairman Allan MacFarlane reported that we distributed, through the Collegiate Institute Board, 5,000 copies of the pamphlet “You and the Law” to the secondary schools of the City. It was published by Kiwanis International and was given favourable comment by the RCMP and the Ottawa Police Department. We arranged a tour of the City by 25 students from Chicoutimi, P.Q. High School who were visiting on an exchange basis with students from Ottawa High Schools. Financial assistance was given to Christie Lake Camp again this year and to a worthy student from the Eastern Ontario Institute to complete his year. Help was given to a very deserving student to complete his High School studies at Queen’s University during the summer; he had been studying under the Canadian Vocational Training System but no provision was made for summer studies under this plan. He accomplished almost miraculous results in completing most of his High School in one year, We assisted the Ottawa Boys’ Club in finishing the basement area of the building known as the “Dust Bowl”.

In July our Committee was responsible for the Friday luncheon and our own Joe Smith enlightened us on horse breeding and Frank Ryan was our guest of honour. We sponsored a Tractor Safe Driving Competition at the Ottawa Exhibition and the Prescott County team from Vankleek Hill walked away with all the honours both in the written engineering exam and the driving contest. Our Club sent four 4-H competition winners to the 4-H Camp at Camp Overlook, N.Y. for a one week stay. In September we went potato digging at David Croskery’s farm in Metcalfe, Ont. This is one of the largest potato farms in Ontario. An amount of $500 was approved to plant trees or shrubs in a worthwhile location. A scholarship of $150 was awarded to David Croskery Jr. to assist him in his first year at Ontario Agricultural College. We again sponsored the 4-H Inter-Club Calf Competition at the Ottawa Winter Fair. Four junior farmers from the Eganville area won the giant sized trophy which our Club donates each year for their Black Angus steers. At the end of the year we donated a set of 23 books on Conservation to a Separate School in Ottawa. • Air Cadets Committeee Chair Frank Cauley advised that the Squadron quota of 80 cadets was maintained throughout the year; a Father and Son night was held at Beaver Barracks with films provided by Cabeldu Motors, courtesy of Bob Surgenor; two cadets qualified for Flying Training Scholarships and both F/S Taylor Devlin and Cpl.

88 • Camp Banting Committee led by Mike Derrick showed that the 12th edition of Camp Banting was the largest to date with 60 campers registered and 8 diabetic counsellors. Tom Wrangell again directed the camp. We were fortunate in having Dr. John Read of Queen’s University as the Resident Physician. In addition the Camp Dietitian, two Interns and the Camp Nurse rounded out the medical program. • Circle K and Key Club Committee chaired by Leo McCarthy reported that the joining of both Committees was a complete success. The Circle K at Carleton University was reactivated – Carleton and EOIT have a membership of 36 boys. Larry Denault of EOIT was elected District Lt. Governor and his Club maintained an 84% attendance average. Both Fisher Park and Ottawa Tech Key Clubs were very active and, in particular, Tech moved ahead to the point where it is currently rated in 2nd place in the District.

Clubs. • International Relations Committee chaired by Art Mullen reported that five cartons of books were forwarded to the two Peters in Nigeria through the Overseas Book Centre. We carried out correspondence with the Governor of Western Nigeria and with the two Peters in Nigeria with a view of ascertaining what assistance our Club could provide; we also contacted and met with members of the External Aid Department of the Dominion Government and it appeared from all our inquiries that a gift by our Club of sporting equipment would be a most suitable gift. With this in mind we purchased sufficient soccer sweaters for four teams together with four footballs and these were sent to Peter Adepoju, Wesley College, Ibidan, Nigeria and to Peter Atukosi, Aggrey Memorial College, Nigeria and Sarawak. The sweaters were embossed with “Canada” and “Kiwanis”. On the occasion of the Mexican Independence Day we prepared an appropriate greeting in Spanish directed to the President of the Mexico City Club and forwarded same to him. We forwarded to the Barbados Public Library 8 books on Canadiana so as, in total, over the year 1963 and 1964 we provided the Library with 25 books in this category. These books have been very well received and, through the cooperation of Air Canada, were transported to the Library by the Local Agent of Air Canada. In October we held a Country Dinner and outing for over 50 students of International House. • Education and Fellowship and Sports & Social Committee chaired by Art Moody. The two Committees were combined as it was felt that some of their respective responsibilities overlapped. The merger seemed to work very satisfactorily. A Curling Stag and Dinner was held in March with 40 members present. Two Inductions were held during the year with Sol Max handling the May 8th ceremony and Gordon Henderson the November 26th one. 20 new members were inducted in the two ceremonies. Special attention was given throughout the year to having new members attend at least one month-end Director’s meeting; this proved highly successful with 16 new members and five others attending. In November a Social Evening was held at Warren Miller’s home with all new members as well as Committee and Board members attending.

In addition we celebrated the move of the Kiwanis Office to 111 Sparks Street and provided a musical welcome to an International Inter-Club from Emmaus, Pa. As usual, the bulk of the work in writing material for these efforts fell on Sol Max who, again, came through with excellent scripts. • Program Committee chaired by Sid Lithwick was responsible for all 52 programs, some of which were His Excellency W. Andrew Rose who spoke on “The Future of Trinidad and Tobago”; Rt.

A considerable amount of work was done on the Christie Lake Boys’ Camp project which resulted in a contribution of $1,000 to the Camp including the supply and erection of a fine campers cabin. A good number of man hours were spent working with the Ottawa Boys’ Club and a tremendous amount of time was donated by various members each Saturday in order to make transportation available for 5 or 6 handicapped youngsters to enable them to participate in a bowling league. We were able to financially assist the Retarded Adult Group with their Sunday get-togethers and Christmas Party. Just before Christmas, once again the Committee and Club members delivered 76 Christmas hampers and 53 cheques to the needy for a total contribution of $1,799. A triodedic Play-Dome was purchased and shipped to a school for Eskimo children on Broughton Island in the Arctic Circle.

This year the Theological Bursary was awarded to Brendan O’Brien, a student at St. Paul’s University, who will be ordained a Catholic Priest in 1968.

94 • Youth Services Committee chaired by Bill Riddell gave the following outline of projects completed during the year: Eagles Club – this is a group of 17 boys, ages 15 to 18, who meet at and have the use of the facilities of the Ottawa Boys’ Club. Charlie Roney works with this group providing counsel and guidance in their activities and conduct. The boys participated in hockey, sleigh rides and a picnic. Our Club contributed $112.00 towards cost of these activities. When this group was formed in 1963 some of the boys were delinquents or semi-delinquents; this past year not one of these boys is on probation, some have obtained jobs and others have remained in school. $50 was donated for hockey equipment for the Boys’ Club hockey team. A Group Work Program was organized at the Ottawa Boys’ Club to operate group work for “hard to handle boys”. Through this program the boys would be in groups with boys of similar interests, under guidance of leaders who would counsel the boys on behaviour and personal problems - $500 was contributed to enable the formation of three groups as soon as leaders were available. This project will also provide Kiwanians with an opportunity to give personal service in the guidance of these boys – an excellent new project which was given publicity in the Ottawa Citizen.

95 1967 President Sid Lithwick Special Activities

• Conservation Centre Committee chaired by Don Graham is a Committee recommended by the Agriculture and Conservation Committee as our Club’s Centennial Project. The Committee role is to be that of setting up a framework for Conservation Education facilities. It is to provide professional guidance and technical know-how through the assistance of related agencies, and co-ordinate programs of resource-use education Particularly in the use of the outdoors as dynamic teaching areas for the natural sciences and conservation. The Committee visited two undeveloped parcels of natural landscape which might be suited to Conservation Centre use and investigated their use and acquisition. Areas of from 100 to 300 acres would be adequate and publicly owned land would also be suitable for use – discussions are under way with the National Capital Commission and the Rideau River Conservation Authority. Plans are being laid to involve public school students in conservation activity in the Spring of 1968. • Ways & Means Committee led by Warren Miller reported that, for the first time, theTV Auction was run by the Ways & Means Committee rather than under a special Auction Committee. Experience is a great teacher and, with a few years of running this event, we believe we have come up with a good working plan. The responsibility was divided in two - the Sales Department under Mike Thompson whose responsibility was to raise the merchandise and the Administration Department under Sam Shantz who looked after all the administration details such as Advertising, TV Commercials, Public Relations and Publicity, etc. The result was that we ended with close to $12,000 profit from theAuction this year. The Skyline Hotel Opening was a successful evening with a profit of $637. Club Activities

• Air Cadets Committeee chaired by Mark Hubbard was pleased to advise that the strength of the Squadron has grown from 60 to 90 this year. One of the notable events of the year was the trip to Montreal for Expo 67 at a cost of $350 for bus transportation. Twenty cadets attended summer camp and another was successful in winning a flying training scholarship and graduated as a private pilot. Three of the cadets are now undergoing instruction to compete for flying training scholarships next year. A motor mechanics course was provided the Cadets for 12 weeks. Unfortunately we lost F/L Lou Ullrich as Squadron Commander after 19 years of service; F/L Ullrich was honoured on his departure from the Squadron by a Citizen’s Award presented by the Club at a luncheon. Mr. D.H. Beaman, Principal of Bel-Air School volunteered his services as the new Commander. He had 10 years’ experience with Air Cadet matters and therefore well qualified to assume this position. The Squadron undertook a Centennial Project in the form of assembling a scrap book with pictures and articles of the Squadron’s previous activities going back 25 years. A history of the Squadron activities has also been written and is in the process of final editing. • Camp Banting Committee led by Dennis Milnes was again a success with 65 campers and 13 staff members for a total of 78 diabetic children attending the 15th year of camp. The camp was attended by two boys from , Ohio and one of these won the Best Camper of the Year Award. • Circle K Committee directed by John Harcourt Sr. was responsible for organizing the Circle K International Convention to be held at the Chateau Laurier Hotel in August with Carleton University Circle K acting as host (this was only the 2nd International Convention held in Canada).

96 The Convention was attended by over 1000 delegates and many senior officers of Kiwanis including the President of Kiwanis International, James M. Moler and it was the most successful International Convention ever held; we were pleased to be asked to pass on our files to the 1968 Convention which will be held in Philadelphia. Both Algonquin and Carleton Circle K Clubs organized Blood Drives and with over 300 students donating, provided much needed assistance to the local blood bank. Engineering students in the Carleton Circle K Club assisted a totally incapacitated Muscular Dystrophy patient at the Civic Hospital to achieve a degree of communication by securing a typewriter and inserting it in a system which will allow her to communicate with those around her by utilizing the limited mobility present in one foot. Other means of assistance are now being investigated by these worthy Circle K members and others whom they have interested in this case. • Inter Club and Fellowship Committee chaired by Jim Preston was responsible for 22 Inter-Club visits by many Clubs in Division 12 as well as Montreal St. George and Hudson Falls, N.Y. The large project of the year was the Grey Cup Centennial Inter-Club luncheon on December 1st which our Committee organized under the Chairmanship of Charles Elvins; 640 people sat down for lunch with over 30 Clubs represented. • International Relations Committee under the chairmanship of Gordon McRostie continued with their bus tour to Upper Canada Village with 60 students from foreign countries taken by bus. The Invitation to Friendship programme saw the Pembroke Club as host for a small group of senior overseas public servants. Our part was purely supplying contacts. The Country Supper at Greely provided a glimpse of Canadian Fall fun for 60 foreign students plus lasting personal contacts with overseas visitors for several Kiwanians and their wives. The two Nigerian Peters whose year in Canada on a post-graduate teacher’s course was financed by our Club, continued to receive Canadian periodicals and support. The Experiment In International Living project sent two young ladies from Ottawa high schools to Mexico; funds came from the generosity of one of our Kiwanians. Our financial support of CUSO (Canadian University Service Overseas) was continued and was partly responsible for the continued work of Sylvia Nicholson as a nurse in Kenya and Dr. Guy O’Reilly in South America. • Key Club Committee chair Gordon Bird reported that the OQM Key Club Convention was attended by 5 boys from Ottawa Tech and 22 from Fisher Park. It is recommended that our Club sponsor only voting delegates to both the District and International Conventions in the future. Key Clubbers assisted greatly at the Annual TV Auction and at the distribution of Christmas hampers. The Golden Key Awards were presented to both Key Clubs this year. • Membership Committee chaired by Walter Tilden reported that the year ended with 155 Active members, 25 Privileged, 13 Seniors and 9 Honorary for a total of 213 - the same as we started the year with. • Music Committee chaired by Cammie Howard advised that they were responsible for 12 programs including the St. Patrick’s Day program, Ladies’ Day, Golden Anniversary Ball and Grey Cup Production. • Program Committee Chairman Stan Dale and his Committee were responsible for organizing all 52 luncheons throughout the year. All guest speakers received a memento of their visit consisting of “The Wildlife Series of Centennial Coins and Stamps”. Some of the speakers included Ray Smillie of Bell Canada speaking on “Lasers”, Dave Tennant, Vice- President of Air Canada, Walter Balharrie, Architect spoke on “The Sparks Street Mall”, G.A. Lacy, Chief Engineer and Director of Product Planning for the Chrysler Corporation, performance by the Pembroke Centennial Choir, George Rader spoke on “My Six Months Live-In at Expo” and reported on “Experiment in International Living” and George Brady spoke on “Transportation Difficulties in the Capital City”.

97 • Public and Business Affairs Committee, under the chairmanship of Frank Plant reported that this Committee reconsider the Grace Hospital Building Extension Fund and the recommendation of the 1966 Committee was unanimously reaffirmed and recommended again to the Board of Directors - in due course the Club approved a contribution of $25,000 to the Grace Hospital Building Extension Fund. A sub-committee was formed and the final result was that a) encouragement of underground wiring in the downtown areas in particular and b) improvement of the approaches to the City. These to be pursued at the Club level early in 1968. Dr. Ralph McKendry was recommended for the O.Q.M. District Fred McAlister Award which is awarded to the Kiwanian who performed the most outstanding service to his community - this was awarded for his work with Camp Banting. Approximately 140 residents of Island Lodge were driven through the most picturesque areas of the City to witness the Tulip Festival. Some 25 automobiles were organized to drive handicapped and aged persons to the special grandstand show at the Central Canada Exhibition. • Public Relations Committee chaired by Don Bruce was responsible for obtaining press for the Circle K Convention, Ken Wynkie’s election as Lt. Gov. of Division 12, Key Club presentation of a cheque to Silver Springs Farm, a Club presentation to Bill Keddie, the first President of the Kiwanis Club of Ottawa and the giant Inter-Club held in December. • Support of Churches Committee chaired by Reg Hobson was responsible for the Brotherhood Week luncheon, Easter Week, Thanksgiving Day and Remembrance Day. In Memoriam Services were conducted for those members who had died. The Beacon Arms Hotel Church Directory was completed and appropriately dedicated, $50.00 was given to the British and Foreign Bible Society for their ‘Bible A Month” program. The Club also shared in the expense of the Church Directory printed by the City of Ottawa Tourist and Convention Bureau to the extent of $175.00. 2500 directories were printed and circulated in the various Tourist Information booths in the Capital’s hotels and motels. • Youth Services Committee directed by Barry Moffat was responsible for the following projects: $3,750 was donated to Christie Lake Boys Camp which is guided by Kiwanian Jack McKnight. A grant of $150 was made again this year to assist the activities of the Retarded Adults Social Club. We donated $500 in 1966 and $750 in 1967 to help with the Group Work Programme at the Ottawa Boys’ Club and $1,250 to their summer program. $900 in cheques was given for Christmas and members met at Lewis Motors to prepare and distribute hampers to a value of $879. Key Clubbers from Fisher Park and Carleton Circle K’ers assisted in the distribution. We hosted 41 Cree Indian children for a luncheon stop-over and tour while they were returning from Expo to Brantford on a trip arranged by the Don Mills Kiwanis Club. Financials

99 1968 President Ian Kirkconnell Special Activities

• Youth Services Committee chaired by Jack Stewart reported that the Committee’s motto this year was “Get Personally Involved” - the camp visit to Christie Lake Camp was very successful. Club Activities

• Air Cadets Committeee chaired by Reg Hobson experienced an excellent year and progress has been most favourable. With a new Squadron Commander, Captain Doug Beaman in charge, an active programme was maintained throughout the year. Squadron strength was at 90 and some of the notable events of 1968 were: The Oxfam March - 21 Kiwanians sponsored cadets for a total of $73.50; the cadets raised a total of $1,078.00 which was paid to the Oxfam fund on behalf of the Club. Air Cadet Day when members of the Squadron attended the weekly luncheon; USAAF Band “Men of Note” - in collaboration with the Optimist Wing, our Squadron sponsored a concert by this outstanding musical aggregation. 1200 people attended the free concert in Glebe Collegiate auditorium; First Aid Course is provided at the weekly parades; Father & Son Night with an excellent speaker; Squadron Party in the recreation room of The Claridge Apartments; Familiarization Flights - The RCAF provided 3 flights in a Cosmopolitan aircraft; Drumhead Service - a representative group from 211 Squadron participated in this event in front of the Supreme Court Building; Trip to Fort Henry, Kingston - buses were provided by the Armed Forces and refreshments were provided en route through Club funds, rations were drawn for the noon day meal at R.M.C. 25 boys were enrolled in the Summer Camp program; the Medical Officer at Uplands gave the physical examinations for a nominal charge. Squadron members gave a good account of themselves at the Annual Inspection with a rating of 81.5%. The Rifle Shooting was maintained and proven very successful. The Christmas Dinner was held in the Airmen’s Mess at Rockcliffe, preceded by a tour of the of Aeronautical History. • Camp Banting Committee was led by Bill Gowling and this year’s camp was one of the most successful our Club has enjoyed for several years due to the leadership of our Camp Director, Garth Hollett who worked diligently to provide the direction and support necessary for a project of this magnitude. Much of the day to day administrative work is handled by Sally Megill, our Administrative Secretary. 67 campers attended this year’s camp; in addition to the diabetic campers, at least 10 of our Counsellors were also diabetic. New ideas this year were: Exchange of campers with Camp Ho-Mita-Koda in Ohio, longer out-trips for senior campers and a trip to “Man and His World” by senior campers.

Our Committee and Club were deeply saddened to hear of the sudden death of Gordon Currie, the founder of Camp Banting. The Directors of the Club have approved the establishment of a Gordon Currie Memorial Fund. • Circle K Committee chaired by Gordon Bird endeavoured to rejuvenate the Circle K activities at Carleton University and to redevelop a program of activities which is more attractive to Circle K men. After the tremendous success of the Circle K International Convention in Ottawa in 1967 the Carleton Circle K Club has been almost dormant. The development of programs from now on will involve more community work and less on-campus activity because most of the services that Circle K Clubs have carried out are being looked after by the University administrations or Student Councils. The Club is entering an arrangement with the City Youth Services Bureau to help with Youth Special Services. This will be much in the nature of “Big Brother” work, in that the Circle K Club members will provide counsel and companionship to young boys in need of help. 100 • Conservation Centre Committee chaired by Don Graham has centered around negotiations and presentations to the National Capital Commission. The Centre can be defined as an area of undeveloped land near or within a city or town and having on it facilities or services designed to conduct regional outdoor programs in natural sciences, nature study and appreciation and conservation. Thus conceived, an operating Conservation Centre provides innumerable educational, scientific, cultural and recreational benefits to the community - values that are far reaching at the local level.

In 1967 many properties were examined, with the conclusion that the National Capital Commission property offered the most accessible resources for such a Centre. Meetings have been held with the Public School Board, the Collegiate Institute Board and the Department of Lands and Forests to outline their respective interests. The Dept. of Lands and Forests is currently managing Greenbelt properties for the NCC and would be an active party to any use of these lands.

It has been proposed that a tripartite agreement be negotiated between the NCC, Lands and Forests and the Kiwanis Club of Ottawa - the details of this or any similar arrangement are under examination at this time.

Many school children and adult groups do not have the opportunity of any exposure to an outdoor classroom. It is the drawing together of the educator, the student and the natural landscape of the Region that could be the function of the Conservation Centre in the National Capital Region.

With the research analysis and discussions of 1968 available to the Governmental agencies, it is hoped that an early agreement may be reached. This will enable our Club to contribute its management and service facilities to a “Golden Anniversary” project of regional significance. • Inter-Club and Fellowship Committee under the chairmanship of Don Blakslee hosted Inter-Clubs from Hudson Falls, N.Y., Brockville, Prescott, Cornwall and Kingston as well as from 7 local Clubs. All in all 24 Interclub visits were held. In November a very successful Round Robin Party was held in the Qualicum area. • International Relations Committee Chairman Bill Edge reported that under the Foster Parents’ Plan the Club arranged the adoption of a seven year old Chinese boy living in Hong-Kong. Members of the Committee communicated with him and received interesting letters in return. Funds were sent to Caltex Home, the Nyeri Children’s Nutrition Center in Kenya. A bus load of students was taken from International House to Upper Canada Village where lunches were provided. Eleven overseas students studying at Carleton University spent a most enjoyable week-end at the home of Kiwanis members in Pembroke. Arrangements and free transportation were made possible by this Committee. Sixty foreign students were taken to Greely for a large turkey supper and an evening of fun and games arranged by our own Gerry Nicholson. • Key Club Committee Chairman Don Holtby reported that the Committee endeavoured to develop and maintain a close contact with Fisher Park and Ottawa Technical High School Key Clubs and their members. The O.Q.M. Key Club Convention was held in Ottawa at Hillcrest High School. Kiwanis members billeted some of the out-of-town Key Clubbers. Ottawa Tech’s Key Clubbers’ major project in 1968 was the gathering of school supplies throughout Ottawa which were sent to an under-privileged school in the Caribbean. Fisher Park were much more active during 1968, holding dances and car washes. They visited the Maycourt Home and the New Orchard Lodge. Key Clubbers again assisted with the annual TV Auction and helped with the distribution of Christmas hampers. • Education, Attendance and Public Affairs Committee Chairman George Perrin advised that the attendance averaged 65.9% for the year - down from 69.4% in 1967.

101 The new members’ Obligation Card was instituted as a means of educating the new member to his Kiwanis responsibilities. The new members presented their program in June under the guidance of Jack Gordon and Orv Boville. Lt. Governor Ken Wynkie conducted the new members Induction Ceremony. In June we were requested by the Board to amalgamate with the Pubic Relations Committee. • Membership Committee chaired by Gerry Nicholds reported that the year started with 213 members and ended with 210. Five members transferred to Senior Membership. • Music Committee Chairman Mark Max reported that the Committee had as its prime objective the production and performance of skits, commercials for members’ businesses, members’ personal and family vital statistics, introductions of guest speakers, special salutes, etc.- in short, any excuse for about ten to twenty grown men to make fools of themselves and thereby inject some life and entertainment into the meetings. Some of the performances included a Salute to Bob Alyea’s “secret” marriage, Salute to Sol Max on his 60th birthday, Birth of Naomi Jill Max, daughter of Mark Max, Tribute to Sally Megill and the Annual Family Party. • Program Committee Chairman John Rook-Green reported that each speaker received a coloured aerial photograph of Ottawa and a letter of thanks. Speakers included The Hon. Mr. Justice A.H. Lieff who spoke on Brotherhood, Dwain Carter, Indianapolis 500 race car driver, Dr. Ralph McKendry - “A Trip Behind the Iron Curtain”, Gen. J.V. Allard, Chief of the Defence Staff spoke on “The Armed Forces”, J.G. Gaudaur, Commissioner of the League, and Hon. John Turner, Minister of Justice. • Public and Business Affairs Committee chaired by John Cole reported that a grant of $1,000 was made to the Metabolism Clinic of the for a summer Research Student Fellowship Peter McLaughlin, a medical student at Toronto University was the recipient. Charles Everett was recommended for the Lamp of Learning Award, due to his outstanding service to the Collegiate Institute Board over many years. Members of our Club assisted on the Sparks Street Mall to give a good start to the Drive for Funds for the Canadian Institute for the Blind Building Program. Once again this Committee made 25 cars available for driving shut-ins to the special Grandstand Show at the Central Canada Exhibition. $300 was approved to purchase a set of drums for the Good Companions Club. Their Good Companions “Happy Gang” show consists of eight people whose average age is 70 and who put on shows for Senior Citizens groups, Church groups and Service Clubs. They also help different organizations raise money for the Red Feather Campaign. • Support of Churches Committee Chair Reg Gilstorf advised that this Committee was responsible for the Brotherhood Week, Easter Week, Thanksgiving Day and Remembrance Day luncheons. $50 was given to the Canadian Bible Society for their Bible-a-Month program. The Theological Bursary of $400 was presented this year to Gilbert Scharf, a student for the Ministry of the Lutheran Church. Designs were selected for the printing of two sets of cards for display in the Ottawa Transportation Commission buses promoting the theme of “Church Attendance”. The designing of the cards represented a student project of the High School of Commerce. The printing of the cards was done in one of the local high schools. • Ways & Means Committee chaired by Hap Nicholds reported that they started collecting items for the TV Auction earlier this year and, as a result, the problems which arose the final few weeks prior to theAuction were minor ones. A profit of $12,500 was realized from this year’sAuction . With the larger than usual donation from a charitable group of area businessmen and from the K-L Club, this Committee was able to raise a total of $23,000 for the year.

102 • Youth Services Committee chaired by Jack Stewart reported that $3,700 was approved for general operating expenses and $500 to be used in the development of an out-post camp for older boys; however the camp directors were not financially able to equip and staff the out-camp this year, and, as a consequence, felt it inadvisable to use the $500. $150 was granted to the Retarded Adults Club who hold weekly meetings throughout the winter to entertain those handicapped people of ages running from 14 to 44 years. The $1200 granted the Ottawa Boys Club the year before to keep it open during the summer months was met through contributions from the Red Feather Campaign and therefore not required by this Club. $750 was granted to defray costs of 3 instructional and guiding groups during the winter programs. $500 was granted for capital expenditures at the Ottawa Boys Club Camp to equip Moonlight Bay for older boys, ages 15/16 who may subsequently become Junior Counsellors. Christmas Hampers and Cheques - the Committee found that there was weening interest for support to this cause - due principally to the wide public appeal being given by the Christmas Exchange and welfare groups within the City. In phasing out, it was the Committee’s feeling that our Club should donate hampers this year as in the past, but that cheques should be dropped. As a consequence $900 was granted for this purpose. $1800 was given to SHARE 20, a YMCA program for the field training in group therapy for graduates and under-graduates in Social Science. 20 under-privileged and needy children were studied and helped in a program held at the Children’s Village during the summer months. It is hoped that the success of this year’s work will enable Share 20 to receive a grant from the Red Feather Campaign to assure continuation of the program. Two school dropout boys were assisted through loans of $100 and $200. Financials

103 1969 President Barry Weatherdon Special Activities

• Until this year, the Kiwanis International year ran from January to December; as of 1969 the official year has been changed to January to September therefore this year was only 9 months long which meant that many Committees found it difficult to accomplish all of their objectives. • President Barry Weatherdon’s first presidential meeting was noteworthy – after the Head Table introductions, the entire group, except Barry, got up and left – leaving him alone. • Suddenly, Sol Max and the Music Committee joined Barry’s lovely wife Marilyn, entered the room and gave a typically great musical presentation celebrating Barry’s Presidency. Club Activities

• Agriculture and Conservation Committee Chairman Don Waugh reported that 27 Kiwanians and 64 members of the Carp Agriculture Society attended the Annual Pancake Supper. Assistance was again provided for transportation of 4-H members to Camp Overlook in Malone, N.Y. and also with sending a 4-H member on a tour of the United Nations. Under the able leadership of Committee member Art Moody, the Annual Junior Farmer Exchange Programme was carried out. Our Club sent Junior Farmer Wilbert Paul to Edmonton and the Edmonton Kiwanis Club sent Junior Farmer Donald Rigney to Ottawa - both boys enjoyed their respective visits. A sub-committee was formed to discuss the ever-increasing menace of pollution; they submitted a recommendation to the Board of Directors that a separate Committee be formed to deal with this problem - the recommendation was accepted. The Committee searched for a Personal Involvement Programme; the one which was finally decided on was tree planting and preferably at Carleton Lodge, a home for the aged. Unfortunately it was not possible to proceed with the project in the Spring of 1969 as authority to proceed was unobtainable. It is the recommendation of this Committee that the incoming committee make plans immediately to proceed with this project in the Spring of 1970. • Air Cadets Committeee chaired by Jack Gordon reported a change in command in February - Capt. Doug Beaman who had been in charge of the Squadron for two years had to resign due to heavy responsibilities as Principal of one of the City’s schools; Capt. Robert Weedmark, who was Supply Officer, accepted the appointment of Squadron Commander. Cadet enrolment was at 85 with an officer strength of three as well as three civilian instructors. The Father and Son Night held at Beaver Barracks was most successful; a Joint Meeting of the senior members of the Air Cadet League and our Club brought out good discussion of various points relating to clarification of Air Cadet policies and training. Major Lloyd Hubbard of United Aircraft was the guest speaker at Air Cadet Day at our Club meeting and he showed a movie of the Golden Hawks of which he was a member. The Squadron was graded at 95% at the Annual Inspection Day, placing them at the top of the list among Canadian Squadrons. Kiwanians Jack Gordon, Don Williams and their ladies accompanied 65 cadets who enjoyed a trip to the U.S. Air Force Base at Plattsburg, N.Y. A week-end survival training scheme of water travel by canoes and overnight trip from Shirley’s Bay to Constance Bay was enjoyed by 20 senior cadets. 40 Kiwanians sponsored Cadets who participated in the Miles for Millions March and $65.00 was contributed by Club members. 104 Twenty cadets and three officers attended the Summer Camp program at Bagotville, Quebec. Commencing in October the Squadron changed its quarters from Beaver Barracks to the Highland Park High School. • Camp Banting Committee chairman Bill Gowling reported that, although the registration for this year’s camp was below last year’s, a very successful camp was operated. A good portion of the Committee’s time and effort was directed towards the completion of “The Gordon Currie Memorial Project”. Many hours were spent in raising funds and erecting this building. It will officially be opened with an open house and reception in early October. Jim Woods, the Camp Director provided sound and energetic leadership to our campers and Counsellors. A special thanks was expressed to Tom Wrangell who directed the erection of the Gordon Currie building, helped build it, purchased materials, etc. • Circle K Committee Chair Cammie Howard regretted that attempts to rejuvenate Circle K activity at Carleton University were unsuccessful. There are no officers or members remaining in school to form a nucleus or center of development. At the beginning of the year, Algonquin Circle K showed some sign of possible growth and did develop limited activity on campus, such as assisting at a Blood Donor Clinic, an attempt at fund-raising through the sale of Christmas cards and school jackets. These plans were largely unsuccessful due to a lack of personal involvement on the part of the membership. Those activities formerly open to Circle K on the campus are now handled by Student Council, the Book Shop and Administration. Treasurer Ed Halliwell was elected Lt. Governor at the OQM Convention and Malcolm Hickey won the Oratorical Contest. A combined Circle K and Kiwanis Club of Ottawa Committee meeting was held at Algonquin from which the following conclusions were drawn: Circle K does not appear to serve any useful purpose on this campus. The membership is frustrated and does not really work because of this feeling. The Faculty Advisor and the three interested students were given an extension period of 30 days to come to a more definite conclusion about what should be done. • Conservation Centre Committee chairman Don Graham reported that through the year the Conservation Centre Committee meetings were continued with the National Capital Commission, the Department of Lands and Forests and the Department of Education.

The Good Companions presented a most enjoyable luncheon concert using the set of drums presented to them by our Club last year. • Public Relations Committee chair Fred Price reported that this Committee maintained contact with the news media concerning Club activities of public interest. We enjoyed “a good press” and regular attendance of reporters at our weekly meetings, rising to 17 on the occasion of Mayor Don Reid’s speech. The Committee is occupied with a series of articles on our senior members for “K-Ray”, the Kiwanis District Bulletin, a Club brochure and history and the President’s scrapbook. • Support of Churches Committee chairman Elmore Tufts reported that Dr. Suresh Chandra, a Hindu in research at NRC was the guest speaker for Brotherhood Week.

107 1969-70 President C.H. Roney Special Activities

• The Ottawa-Carleton Conservation Centre Incorporated was constituted by John Clarke in 1969. At a general meeting the sum of $3,000 was granted by the Kiwanis Club of Ottawa to the O.C.C.C.I. to cover the costs of a legal survey of the site, construction of trails, roads and parking area, personnel and promotion. Chairman Don Graham reported that our Golden Anniversary Project progressed this year. Our motto is “To promote and advance interest in and the study of natural sciences, nature study and appreciation and conservation generally”. The NCC agreed upon approximately 100 acres located on Moodie Drive, surrounded by Green Belt land and most suitable for the promotion of conservation practice. Club Activities

• Agriculture and Conservation Committee - Chairman Howard Pope reported that 88 farmers and 42 Kiwanians attended the Annual Pancake Supper at the Carp Anglican Church Hall and entertainment was provided by Kiwanians Orv Boville and Robbie Robinson. The 4-H Junior Farmer Exchange took place with Neil Quinn of Greely and Gordon Payne from . During their stay in Ottawa Kiwanians took them to a football game, a tour of the parliament buildings, a visit to the Science Centre and Upper Canada Village, a tour of the Experimental Farm and Man and His World. Four winners of the 4-H contest spent August at Camp Overlook, N.Y. and during the early part of September we joined with two other Kiwanis Clubs to send Beverley Deayton of Ramsayville on a tour of the United Nations in New York City. • Air Cadet Committee - chaired by Bob Craig saw a year of change for our Cadet Squadron and therefore a somewhat difficult one at times. Nevertheless, due to the work of an active group of Committee members and Officers and Instructors, the Squadron is now in a strong condition and the future looks bright. After more than 20 years at Beaver Barracks, the Squadron is now located at Highland Park High School. Once the usual problems rising from a move had been overcome, this turned out to be a very fine location with excellent facilities in much more pleasant surroundings. Next came an almost complete change in Squadron Officers and Instructors. At the close of the year only the Commanding Officer, Captain Bob Weedmark, remained of the group that began the year. A fine new group of Officers and Instructors has been recruited and we are convinced that the Squadron is now in good hands. Highlights of the year included the use of the National Defence Rifle Range during the winter, a flight from Uplands in December, Father-Son Night in February, Luncheon with Kiwanians at the Chateau in April, Annual Inspection at Uplands in May and a visit to Man and His World in Montreal in June. • Camp Banting Committee - Chairman Wheat deRoche reported that two new ideas were implemented by the Camp Banting Committee - a Seminar in January and a Winter Weekend in March. The Seminar held in the Currie Chalet at the Camp was attended by members of theCamp Banting Committee, senior camp staff members and counsellors, medical and paramedical personnel and senior YMCA officials. Since those attending this conference were to be those in charge of the 1970 camp, their preliminary agreement on ground rules made for a smoother operation, with less over-lap on responsibility and more understanding of duties. The Winter Weekend was attended by 11 previous campers in the 14 to 19 age group in order that they could be shown that winter activities and sports were available and practical for diabetic children. This was the first winter activity weekend for diabetic children ever held in the world and activities included snowmobiling, skiing, a sleigh ride and dance, etc. 108 The 1970 Camp was one of the most successful ever. 61 diabetic campers attended and 13 of the Counsellors were diabetics. Special mention should be made of the efforts of Dr. Ralph McKendry, Tom Wrangell, Dr. Mike Derrick, Sally Megill and Camp Director Jim Woods. The Currie Chalet was in operation for the first time and its facilities increased the effectiveness of the Camp. Kiwanis Night was held with over 60 guests (Kiwanians and their ladies) in attendance. • Conservation Centre Committee - Chairman Don Graham reported that our Golden Anniversary Project progressed this year. Our motto is “To promote and advance interest in and the study of natural sciences, nature study and appreciation and conservation generally”. The NCC agreed upon approximately 100 acres located on Moodie Drive, surrounded by Green Belt land and most suitable for the promotion of conservation practice. The Ottawa-Carleton Conservation Centre Incorporated was constituted by John Clarke in 1969 and presently the Officers and Directors number 14 as follows: President: Donald W. Graham; Vice-President: Lyle G. Blackwell; Treasurer: John D. Cameron; Secretary: H. James Plant; Directors: John Whiting, Hugh Gibson, Donald W. Pettit, Allan Ede, Philip Anslow, Douglas Hagan, George E. Perrin, John G. Cole, Thomas H. Johnstone, Arthur H. Moody. Auditor Ian Kirkconnell. Of great significance is the fact that there are two Directors from each of the National Capital Commission, Ontario Department of Lands and Forests and the Board of Education. At a general meeting the sum of $3,000 was granted by the Kiwanis Club of Ottawa to the O.C.C.C.I. to cover the costs of a legal survey of the site, construction of trails, roads and parking area, personnel and promotion. We are presently advertising for a Director of the Centre so that groups may utilize this valuable area and plans may be co-ordinated. Construction of a building and necessary facilities should be under way very soon. • Inter-Club and Fellowship Committee chaired by Stan Dale reported on 12 Committee meetings held monthly in Weir Stewart’s office. Besides regular Inter-clubs to local Clubs, an Inter-club by air to Detroit was very successfully organized in October while a smaller contingent travelled to Curacao in January. A Dinner and Theatre Night was organized in November, attended by 96 Kiwanians and their wives and a hospitality room was provided to welcome two planeloads of visiting Kiwanians from Bowville, N.Y. Our Club hosted a District Curling Bonspiel which was represented by 15 Clubs and a Club Bonspiel was organized supported by 44 members. In May the Committee assisted in getting out a wonderful representation for the occasion of International President Weber’s visit to Ottawa at the Chateau Laurier. 36 members played golf at our Annual Golf Tournament at the Hunt Club. • Key Club and Circle K Committee Chairman Cammie Howard was sorry to report that our only Circle K Club at Algonquin College, after a shaky year in 1969, finally surrendered their Charter in 1970 after considerable effort on the Committee’s part to keep the Club going. The Ottawa Technical High School Key Club has experienced a year of difficulty; several attempts were made to reorganize the Club but there seems to be a lack of cooperation and interest in the school. It is recommended that the School Administration take a more active part in the Key Club or the Charter of this once active Club will have to be surrendered. One bright spot is that Fisher Park Key Club had a very active and successful year. Mr. Sid Katz, Faculty Advisor, has been a great help and he deserves most of the credit for Fisher Park’s success. They helped conduct a “Keep Fisher Park High School Clean” project - bought extra garbage cans and cleaned areas around the school. They supplied buses for Fisher’s football fans to go to games.

109 Conducted a “Meat Ball Dance” and made over $500 for Key Club work. They canvassed for the United Appeal; hosted Divisional Club Rally at Fisher and donated $75 to the late Lynda Silverman Scholarship. • Education and Public Relations Committee Chair Fred Price advised that the Committee set the following objectives to ensure a better introduction of new members during their initial year by identification through yellow film on their name badge, special interest shown by members of this Committee in meeting new members at weekly luncheons, arrangements for new members to attend meetings of various Committees, in order to become better acquainted with the members and with the overall activities of the Club. Induction of new members was conducted by Charles Hulse; Sol Max and the Music Committee gave excellent support. We are still working towards including feature articles on some of our long-service members, a brief history of the Club and a prepared speech on the activities of our Club to assist those members who may be asked to address other groups. • Membership Development and Attendance Committee Chairman Larry Stephen reported that the membership at the beginning of the year was 213 and 197 at the end of the year. 21 resignations, 5 deaths, 10 new members, 4 transfer to Senior Membership and one classification change. • Music Committee Chairman Orv Boville was sorry to report that the activities of the Music Committee were somewhat curtailed during the latter part of this year due to the prolonged absence because of illness of the creative stalwarts on the Committee, namely Sol Max, Cammie Howard and Earl Crowe. Fortunately Sol is back with us and his talents once more are beginning to be “heard”. A production for Ladies’ Day and a Henry Birks Commercial was a double barrel effort in that not only were the Ladies welcomed in song and music but also a “Birks” Commercial was presented for Jim Shephard. TheMusic Committee prepared a suitable programme for the visit of the International President. In the absence of Sol, Charlie Wright was called upon to prepare and direct our efforts. New Members were welcomed officially to the Club musically in September and a half-hour musical salute was presented honouring our oldest Kiwanian, Arthur Ames, tracing his life, travels and contribution to Kiwanis over the years. • Operation Drug Alert - The Club appointed Dan Zwicker to investigate the need for a central coordinating Committee of all Kiwanis Operation Drug Alert programs in the Ottawa area. The first meeting, at which representatives were present from each of the Kiwanis Clubs in the Ottawa area, agreed that there was in fact a need for a central coordinating committee (C.C.C.) on Operation Drug Alert. It was further agreed that a C.C.C. would record all available resources for a city-wide O.D.A. program and offer guidance to all Clubs by presenting factual information on O.D.A. and by offering resource and program planning. The second meeting was held at the residence of Allison Walsh and it was decided that various resource people would be invited to an O.D.A. meeting; these people would represent the fields of medicine, police work, law, education, pharmaceuticals, social work, drug addition research and the Clergy. It was also agreed that two students, one male and one female, would be invited from the Central Students Council of the Ottawa Secondary School System. It was then discovered that the Carleton Board of Education had already contacted a number of these individuals who have been playing an active part in the fight against drug abuse. Since we wished to avoid the duplication of demands on the time of these experts, we invited Mr. Gordon Jones of the Carleton Board of Education and Mr. John Neilson of the Alcoholism and Drug Addiction Research Foundation to relate their experiences to us since these two gentlemen have been participating in a similar inquiry for the Carleton Board. Mr. Jones reported that his Board was in the process of preparing a feasibility study to determine the short and long term activities that should be pursued by his Board in relation to student education and counselling on the subject of the non-medical use of drugs.

110 The O.D.A.- C.C.C. concluded that the education of students was best handled by the respective Board of Education and that any attempt on the part of Kiwanis to reach the students would involve a duplication of effort. It was concluded that the Kiwanis role in the Ottawa region should be restricted to the field of adult education with a close liaison maintained with those planning similar educational programs with the Ottawa School systems. • Committee on Pollution chaired by Eric Thrift was formed to explore the many types of pollution which affect urban populations; the Committee decided to concentrate on assembling information on the current situation in the Capital area with respect to water pollution. Useful information was obtained from treatment plant senior staff but this information was, however, insufficient as a base for any action that could be recommended to the Club for submission to authorities or for the preparation of a public statement. It was recommended that pollution control continue to be a subject of action by the Club. Avenues should be explored in which the Club may be able to perform a useful function of character particularly suited to a Service Club and the Kiwanis Club of Ottawa in particular. • Program Committee chairman Lyle Blackwell reported that they would continue the policy, started by last year’s Committee, of inviting only those speakers who had been heard by a member or were recommended from some other Club or individual. Attempts were made to inject an occasional variation into the static format of our meetings. This resulted in three regular meetings being held away from the Chateau Laurier. The events were the Ottawa River Cruise, the Conservation Site Meeting and the Camp Banting Meeting. Round tables were held at noon in each case, to comply with Kiwanis International regulations. Highlight programs of the year were: John McHale, President of the Montreal Expos; Dr. Dan Offord, Christie Lake Camp; Mr. Kazutoshi Hasegawa, First Secretary, Embassy of Japan; Mr. Ray Boucher - “Football Players I have Known”; Father Barry McGrory “Our Post-Christian Society”; Ken Brynaert “Should There be a Seal Hunt?”; Jack McPartlin “Political Satire” and Mr. Roy Bonisteel - TV personality. • Public & Business Affairs and International Relations Committee Chairman Bill Edge reported that we continued the financial help to our adopted Chinese boy living in Hong Kong and were pleased to learn that most of our funds are being used for the furtherance of the child’s education. Once again the Committee entertained 70 students from International House at the Country Supper - a traditional turkey supper followed by games and square dancing completed the program. Club members provided transportation for the students with extra mention to Gerry Nicholson who supervised the entertainment. In collaboration with our Support of Churches Committee, five students from International House attended our Friday Brotherhood Week luncheon. In co-operation of Earl Valley and President Charlie Roney, a 3 minute taped message was prepared and exchanged as good-will greetings with 3 U.S. Clubs during Canada-U.S. Goodwill Week. In June a busload of international students enjoyed a day at Upper Canada Village - box lunches and soft drinks were provided. A subscription for the Canadian Geographic was continued and in answer to a request for financial aid, $100 was sent to alleviate misfortunes due to the ravages of the recent Nigeria-Biafra war. Several of our members assisted in the ceremony at the Citizenship Court - a very pleasant day! • Support of Churches Committee Chairman Elmore Tufts reported that the Committee arranged a luncheon speaker for Thanksgiving, for Remembrance Day, for Brotherhood Week and for Easter-Passover.

111 The Committee appointed Elmore Tufts, Gary Armstrong and Rt. Rev. Jack Logan-Vencta to be a sub- committee to spearhead a Joint Committee with the Ottawa Council of Churches to study and make recommendations on the side-margin topic of “Religious Broadcasting and Communications”. The joint Committee was subsequently expanded to include a lay RC Broadcaster and a Priest from the RC Commission on Communications and two Clergymen from the Ottawa Ministerium of Evangelicals. The Joint Committee met more than 30 times during the year and its report is filed in the Kiwanis office. Besides Kiwanis OQM and International, it was distributed to Pierre Juneau of the CRTC. This project and its by-products may turn out to be one of the most important things this Club has done. Four padres were sponsored this year - James Millar, Rothwell United Church, Lew Ashwell, Salvation Army, Frank Epp, Mennonite, Wm. Robinson, Anglican Bishop of Ottawa. Roy Gartrell resigned to become Bishop in Vancouver. • Ways & Means Committee Chair Ken Brynaert reported that the Committee is concerned with the substantial drop in revenue in the TV Auction this year brought on by increased advertising costs of $1,300, along with an increase in the cost of merchandise of $3,000 - $11,300 was raised and it should be noted that $1,500 of this amount was from the auto lease which, in actual fact, is a revenue earned in the previous year`s TV Auction, leaving only $9,800 earned by the current Auction. Donations and Special Events brought in $5,400. • Youth Services Committee Chairman Father Barry McGrory reported a donation of $500 to the Christmas Exchange, $399 to finance the Group Program at the Ottawa Boys` Club whereby 6 to 10 boys of similar age and interests meet twice weekly with an adult guide; a loan of $200 was made to a deserving student in the School Drop-Out program and Kiwanian Vince Calzonetti of Zeller’s found part-time employment for another. $3,000 was given to Christie Lake Boys` Camp and $350 to Sandy Hill Youth Association for a six-week summer camp. • Operation Drug Alert - This was discussed at every single meeting of the Committee but progress was negligible. Two excellent meetings were held, one of all Kiwanis Clubs and one with resource people of the Capital area but there was unfortunately little follow-through. $380 was approved to pay two months` rent for a Street Medical Clinic on MacLaren Street operated in connection with the University of Ottawa Faculty of Medicine, Ontario Alcoholism and Drug Addiction Research Foundation and the Canadian Mental Health Association. The experimental clinic was to supplement existing emergency medical facilities especially during the summer peak period of visiting transients. It was a great success and will probably become permanent at the new MacLaren Street location. A grant of $650 was approved for the Youth Hostel at Lisgar Collegiate but was returned to our Club when government funds became available. $650 was given to Operation Achievement, a five year old program working in Percy Street Public School that seeks to help youngsters who are under-achieving in school by a one-to-one tutoring program. As can be seen, there was a decided effort to move into new areas of concern but much more effort will obviously have to be made if we are to have an authentic Operation Drug Alert program.

113 1970-71 President F.J. Cauley Special Activities

• Project Environment Committee Chairman Jake Klassen reported that our Committee laid on a test program for recycling paper; this was thoroughly worked out and when we checked with the City, we found that the City had arranged for recycling by the garbage collectors and asked us to defer our program until they, in turn, had theirs implemented and then to give them moral support. Club Activities

• Agriculture & Conservation Committee chaired by Don Evans reported that the oldest trophy at the Ottawa Winter Fair, the Kiwanis Club of Ottawa Trophy, was presented this year to the Glengarry County 4-H Club for a group of three Ayershire calves. 64 Kiwanians and 68 Carp Agriculture Association members attended a very successful Pancake Supper where Sam Koffman was the guest speaker. Ian Kirkconnell was the Chairman of this supper, assisted by Jim Plant, Charlie Roney and Bob Surgenor. Last year’s Committee undertook the construction of a “Look-out” over the Rideau River at the rear of the Carleton Lodge. During the Fall a paved pathway leading to this “Look-out” was installed by our Club. Frank Patten organized a group to add additional plantings and benches along this pathway, assisted by Don Graham who provided, at no cost to the Club, a beautiful plan for plantings in the area. 25 Kiwanians planted 60 shrubs, trees and rose bushes and installed 6 permanent park benches along the path. Lack of budget did not permit the completion of this project but it is recommended to the incoming Committee that it be completed in the Spring of 1972. A closer alliance with the Ottawa Carleton Conservation Centre was formed; most of the dialogue was in conjunction with the part our Club could play in the restoration of the “Old Log Farm”. It is a 100 acre farm owned by the NCC immediately adjacent to the area under lease by the OCC Centre and it is at present under lease to the Ontario Dept. Of Lands & Forests. It contains an old log farm and out-buildings built around 1848, various fields and pasture land, a sugar bush, wood lot, and natural marsh land. The Ontario Dept of Lands & Forests have undertaken to replace all the wire fences with old-time snake rail or cedar fences, plant some 3000 trees and shrubs and construct a 10 foot gravel road from Cedarview Drive, through the farm to connect with Moodie Drive near the entrance to the OCC Centre. The OCCC, under last year’s Winter Works Program were able to do some preparation work of restoring the farm house and the Ontario Dept. has recently added a new roof to the building. We have been approached in the hopes that we would undertake to restore the building and develop a sustained use for it. • Air Cadets Committeee Chairman Eric Goodwin reported that the Squadron strength is 99 and has an average parade attendance of 70 cadets. 34 cadets attended Summer Camp at Bagotville, five at Greenwood, N.S. and over 40 at Christie Lake Boys Camp. Two cadets were awarded flying scholarships and placed first and third in their course. A very successful evening was held at Highland Park High School to introduce Squadron activities to the parents. The Squadron provided a bugler and colour party for the Kiwanis Remembrance Day Luncheon as well as participating in a memorial service at Bells Corners. Captain Weedmark and 15 cadets worked at the Kiwanis TV Auction. Kiwanians and Cadets got together for a Turkey Shoot; two cadets received turkeys for their performance. Instead of a Father and Son Night a Mother and Son Night was held.

114 • Attendance and Education Committee was chaired by Past President Barry Weatherdon. The new members’ pre-induction meeting was chaired by Past President Ken Wynkie speaking on Kiwanis International, Past President Lyle Blackwell on the District level and President Gary Armstrong on Club affairs. Director Elmore Tufts gave us a real education on Kiwanis in the Ottawa area. Past President Mac McLean continues to present to all new members the book on Kiwanis called “The Widening Path”. The average attendance dropped from 65.2% last year to 61.3% this year. The attached Attendance Records will show those who need to improve their attendance. It was agreed that the Legion of Honour certificates should be framed at a cost of between $5.00 and $6.00. • Camp Banting Committee led by Chairman John Rook-Green reported that the attendance at Camp was 42 campers and 15 diabetics on staff. We are pleased to report that there were no campers confined to hospital this year. Camp fees were raised from $85.00 to $95.00. Kiwanis Night at Camp was attended by 55 Kiwanians and their wives and the campers provided the excellent entertainment. In honour of the 20th anniversary of our Camp a new brochure was designed. Dr. Ralph McKendry was honoured at a Friday luncheon for his many years of service and devotion to Camp Banting. He was presented with the “Dr. Ralph McKendry Trophy” which will be presented annually to the camper “who exemplifies superior medical and physical adaptation to Camp Banting”. There are now 11 other camps for diabetics in Canada modelled after Camp Banting which was the first. • Inter-Club, Sports and Social Committee Chairman Tom Lamothe reported that 26 Inter-Club visits were hosted from 10 Kiwanis Clubs and 12 Inter-Club visits were made to 8 Clubs. 44 members attended the Annual Curling Bonspiel held at the Hunt Club and 22 attended a ski week-end at Mt. Gabriel, Quebec. Our Club organized a bus trip to Watertown, N.Y. for Canada-U.S. Goodwill Week. Five Ottawa Clubs took the trip for a total of 34 Kiwanians. The Round Robin Party was held at the homes of Lyle Beamish, Tom Assaly and Walter Tilden and was well attended. Our year ended with our Annual Golf Tournament and dinner held at the Hunt Club with 38 Kiwanians in attendance. • International Relations Committee led by Fred Price held 9 meetings during the year. Tin Chung, our foster child in Hong Kong is now 11 years old. We continue to correspond with him and are pleased to receive his interesting letters. We assisted in the ceremony at the Citizenship Court again this year with 30 persons from 16 countries receiving their certificates as Canadians. The K-L ladies provided the refreshments. We inaugurated a plan of inviting foreign service representatives of several countries to meetings of our Club in order to exchange views with them and provide an opportunity to see us “in action”. In this way we welcomed senior officers of the missions of Australia, Mexico, Sweden and U.S.A. in Ottawa. Dr. ALbert Trueman, former Director of The Canada Council was guest speaker at the Canada-U.S. Goodwill Week luncheon. • Key Club Committee Chair Leonard Max reported that Fisher Park Key Club had a very active year with a strong and competent President in Nick Bouris; their attendance was 20 to 25 boys each week. The Faculty Advisor, Mr. Sid Katz was usually present and of great assistance to the Club. Projects included magazine subscriptions, sponsored school dances, provided transportation to sporting events, sponsored a Blood Donor Clinic, sold Turf Lottery Tickets, painted the school smoking lounge, sponsored school clean-up, organized a number of events at Winter Week including the Snow Queen Pageant, Volleyball game with Kiwanians, program for Kiwanis meeting, sent 14 members to the District Convention in London and made a successful bid to host the 1973 Convention in Ottawa.

115 Ottawa Tech was again inactive this year; however, a number of meetings were attended by Kiwanians at the school to approach the Principal and Faculty to attempt the revival of the Club. Mr. Gary Burke, a former Circle K member volunteered to be the Faculty Advisor and a number of boys expressed interest in joining but since no leader types were among them, it was decided to wait until September to attempt the re-start. • Membership Development Committee Chairman Wheat deRoche advised that we have 10 Honorary, 4 Senior and 189 Active members; there were 3 deaths and 12 resignations. Membership at the beginning of the year was 199 and 203 at the end of the year. The Honorary members included The Hon. Lester B. Pearson, The Hon. John Diefenbaker, The Hon. Mr. Justice A.H. Lieff, The Rt. Rev. Wm. J. Robinson, Rev. Arthur Conrad, Rev. Arthur W. Currie D.D., Rabbi Simon Eckstein, Rev. James A. Lawson, Rt. Rev. Jock Logan-Vencta, M.S., O.B.E., D.D., and Father W. Barry McGrory. Four members transferred from Active to Senior Membership. Since New Paramount Studio is no longer taking black and white pictures it was agreed that we would ask new members to supply their own pictures for the Roster. • Music Committee Chairman Sol Max was pleased that Executive Secretary Sally Megill was honoured for 20 years of service to the Club. This proved to be one of the largest attendance days of the year, testifying to the esteem the members had for “their Sally”. In May Kiwanian Dr. Ralph McKendry was honoured by the Club through a music presentation for his tremendous contribution to Camp Banting throughout the years. On the same day Mr. Ernie Bushnell, Chairman of CJOHTV was honoured and thanked for their co-operation with our Club in staging our annual TV Auction. August brought a tribute to Alex Dayton of the Westboro Club - a Kiwanian who was not a member of our Club but who portrayed all the qualities of the highest ranking Kiwanians in his efforts for all the Clubs in Ottawa and in Miami, his winter home. In September the Rt. Hon. Lester B. Pearson was the guest of the Club at an evening meeting in the Chateau Laurier. A new addition was added to the Club in the person of Bill Navan, organist and pianist and member of the Rideau Kiwanis Club. Bill succeeded Percy Rutledge who was honoured by a musical tribute on the date of his retirement. Although a non-member, Percy has been associated with our Club since the “twenties” as our accompanist. A music send-off was given to Past President Gary Armstrong who was moving to Halifax. TheMusic Committee continued its practice of welcoming visitors by leading the welcome song “Come Round Any Old Time”. “Special thanks is given to Director Harry Brown, our stand-by Earl Crowe, Orville Boville and son Mark Max whose moral and musical encouragement keeps us going and lastly thanks to Sally Megill for last minute frantic typing of scripts, something we have come to accept as our just desserts - but gratefully!” • Operation Drug Alert Committee Chairman Leonard Max reported that, following the initial meeting of this Committee to plan a program for the year, at which there was a reasonable turnout and some good suggestions for programming sketched out; due to an almost total lack of support from Committee members thereafter it became virtually impossible to make the Committee operative. The Chairman continued to receive Executive support and from some Kiwanians who were actually non-members of the Committee. This enabled the continuation of some efforts to at least provide a background base for the operation of the current Committee. Education material was imported from the States which appeared particularly appropriate to and sensibly prepared for the education of children in the early school grades on problems raised by drug abuse. The Committee will review the material and consider what appropriate use, if any, may be made of it in conjunction with this year’s program.

116 Arrangements were made to have Don Pollock of Montreal, former addict and convict and present Kiwanian speak to our Club on both his views as to drug abuse and as to the program he has been undertaking with respect to penal reform in general and drug abuse in particular. As a result of his well-received address tentative arrangements have been made for this year’s Committee to pursue further programs, possibly in the form of a discussion panel involving Mr. Pollock and directed towards a pertinent no-holds-barred discussion of the current drug situation and what remedies can be considered truly effective. A number of Committee members, when they realized during the year the unintentional result of their non- attendance, took steps to do what they could to keep the program going and more particularly to see that it revives with full vigour this year. • Program Committee - co-chaired by Mark Max and Hap Nicholds reported that, besides the many musical programs presented by the Music Committee, many excellent speakers addressed our Club during the year - the highlight of the year was the Lester B. Pearson Dinner, the second in a series of dinners to honour former living Prime Ministers. The innovation of a Father-Son (Daughter, Grandson/Grandaughter) etc. to our annual Football Program received many favourable comments. In June of this year the Rt. Hon. John Diefenbaker was made an Honorary member of our Club. Speakers included Dr. W.J. Keon, Chief, Cardiac Surgery, Ottawa Civic Hospital who spoke on “Open Heart Surgery”; Dr. Lorne Gray, President of Atomic Energy of Canada; Mr. Andrew Haydon, Reeve of Nepean Township spoke on “Regional Government”; Michael Cassidy, MPP gave his views on the future of public and private enterprise under an NDP Provincial government; on Feb. 4th meeting cancelled for the first time in 54 years due to the worst winter storm in 54 years!!! Rabbi Reuben Bulka spoke on Brotherhood Week in a controversial talk “A Critical Look at Brotherhood”; Hon. John Turner, Minister of Finance with his views on National Unity; Director Elmore Tufts held a lively, interesting and innovative induction of new members and the photograph and record of Kiwanian Donald G. Charboneau was unveiled in the Hall of Fame. Mayor Pierre Benoit spoke on “Planning - What’s the Point”. Don Blakslee met with the manager of the Chateau Laurier to discuss the price of luncheons, parking and the charge for checking; an alternative to using the check room was that a coat rack was set up at the back of the Banquet Hall in order that members could hang their own coats there. • Project Environment Committee Chairman Jake Klassen reported that our Committee laid on a test program for recycling paper; this was thoroughly worked out and when we checked with the City, we found that the City had arranged for recycling by the garbage collectors and asked us to defer our program until they, in turn, had theirs implemented and then to give them moral support. The City suggested that it would be nice to keep our Club interested in test procedures so that they could use us for pilot work should the occasion arise. In conclusion it should be stated that it is a very difficult project with which to produce concrete results; however, even though results often seem to be lacking, this project should continue for the public relations value. • Public & Business Affairs and Public Relations Committee Chairman Jack Cameron reported that this Committee was reactivated this year after several years of dormancy. Unfortunately, we had no background on which to rely and considerable time was devoted to finding areas which we thought would serve the best interests of the community and Kiwanis. Our major achievement during this year was the acceptance of the challenge of the Kinsmen Club and the successful sponsorship of the Blood Donor Clinic at Lansdowne Park. It was a success thanks to the co- operation of the Ottawa Football Club, the C.C.E.A. And the Canadian Red Cross. It represented a true service activity and not merely a cheque writing exercise. • Spiritual Aims Committee Chairman Jim Shepard advised that this Committee was responsible for planning the Remembrance Day luncheon for the Club. Dr. G. McDiarmid, Ontario Institute for Study and Education, addressed a luncheon on “Bias in Text Books” as used in schools throughout the Province. He outlined the method used to evaluate the amount of bias found in the various text books used in our schools.

117 • TV Auction Committee chaired by Stan Greenwood reported that his Committee made up a list of firms taken from the yellow pages of the telephone book which produced approximately four hundred company names. A letter was sent to each firm advising them of the project and that a member of our Club would call on them within the next few months. A letter was then sent to 130 Club members which contained three firm names soliciting TV Auction items and three order cards. If the firm donated the previous year, these same firm names were given to the Kiwanian who obtained the article the previous year and formed all or part of his three names; the members were asked to approach the firms immediately to try and get articles committed as early as possible and to get a larger portion of new firms. As a result, several new donors were obtained by this method. A physical display of about 20 items was located at the Lincoln Fields, Carlingwood and St. Laurent Shopping Centres three weeks preceding the Auction. One third of the articles were received in the last two weeks before the Auction. The items were listed in all three local newspapers on the Friday prior to the Auction. The Kiwanis Ladies again did an excellent job of handling the telephones and the food during the Auction. We ended up with 145 articles which averaged 77.7% of the value. Profit of $8,637 was realized. It was recommended that, in the future, the Auction be held in May rather than in September as it would not conflict with the football games and the District Convention; it would also fit in better with our Kiwanis year. • Ways & Means Committee chairman Doug Holmes reported that in August of 1971 a City of Ottawa Turf Fund Raising Committee was approved by Board of Control to raise funds to install artificial turf at Lansdowne Park in time for the 1972 football season. A Turf Lottery was put in effect with many local Clubs and organizations becoming agents to sell the tickets, among these our Club and all local Kiwanis Clubs. Tickets were $2.00 each and every book of tickets sold (11 tickets per book) would produce $5.00 for our Club and would sell for $27.50. The Lottery prizes included seven $1,000 Early Bird draws at the Rough Rider home games and a grand prize of $50,000. Ticket sales began in the fall of 1971. Our sale of tickets this year brought in a net profit of $2,134. The “Friends of Kiwanis” conducted two events on behalf of the Ways & Means Committee - the Monte Carlo Night at the Ottawa Winter Carnival which yielded only $30 but the $100 Plate Dinner did considerably better bringing in $4,100 for the Club’s coffers. • Youth & Citizenship Services Committee chaired by Chris Fournier reported that other than driving the senior citizens to the Central Canada Exhibition Grandstand Show, there was virtually no Seniors Committee activity in which the direct efforts of the members were made to assist in any particular endeavour. • $450 was donated to the Ottawa Boys’ Club for the purchase of sporting equipment for use at the Fred C. McCann Centre on MacArthur Road. • $1,500 was given to Christie Lake Boys’ camp; two Committee members toured the camp with Judge Jack McKnight and were most impressed with the quality of the camp grounds, its facilities, but most particularly with the obviously tremendous job it was doing with the campers, all of whom come from underprivileged homes. • $500 was granted to the Action Sandy Hill Day Camp, $500 to the Ottawa and District Association for the Mentally Retarded for their Camp Echon, $4,100 to Y.B.C. St. Francois to assist in sponsoring a bowling league for underprivileged children and to provide them with a banquet and small prizes and The Christmas Exchange was given $300.

Cadets were involved in the selling of Turf Lottery tickets and 12 Kiwanians participated with 20 cadets in a Shoot-off. The cadets raised $563 from a Walk-A-Thon and Kiwanis members sponsored cadets for $218. A weekend visit was arranged to Camp Y where the cadets enjoyed outside winter activities; all expenses for this trip were recovered from Region Headquarters and were not a Club expense. They entered the Hull Games with other local squadrons and, out of 6 events, won 3 and came second in 2. The new George Beveridge Trophy was presented at the Annual Inspection. • Inter-Club Committee Chairman Tom Lamothe reported that 16 members paid a visit to South Ottawa in December to Eastview-Russell in January and to Kingston in May. The Annual Club Bonspiel was held at the Ottawa Hunt Club with 35 members curling and 12 couples were present at the Ski trip to Mt. Gabriel which was held in March.

120 • Key Club Committee Chairman Ken Thompson reported that the budget for the year was $1,000. Fisher Park Key Club held a Car Wash with a profit of $85, provided buses for students to sporting events, donated $25 to the United Appeal, sold Turf Lottery tickets, set up a smoking lounge at the school and distributed posters in an anti-litter campaign. Several members worked on trying to revive Tech Key Club and Ken has been advised that they now have a Faculty Advisor, Mr. Gary Burke – Ken Thompson and Ken Wynkie, the Key Club District Chairman, will contact this man. 18 Key Clubbers attended the OQM Convention in London, On. • Kiwanis Children’s Safety Village – The Safety Village Coordinating Committee hoped to enlist the support of all Kiwanis Clubs in Ottawa, not only financially, but to have members go out and solicit funds. The purpose of the Village is to train all young children in all facets of safety. A quarter scale village is to be built at Britannia Park, with sidewalks, traffic lights, and one full sized year- round building, a classroom seating 75. The school boards are willing to bus children to the site and Police from the Safety Patrol will run it. G.E. will donate the traffic lights. City Council has approved the project in principle and the Committee is ready to start on the project. Construction costs were estimated at $50,000. At a Board meeting in February a discussion ensued and it was agreed that our Club could not put up any money but should put a man on the Committee who can become involved if he likes, but who would not involve the Club, and report back to this Board. • Liability Insurance: President Gary advised that the Club is covered under its Comprehensive Genera Liability policy for all operations of the Club including TV Auctions, sponsorship of the 211 Squadron, Key Clubs and Circle K Clubs, both for personal injury and property damage for a limit of $500,000. • Programme Committee – Chairman Mark Max (who took over from Hap Nicholds who had to step down due to business pressures) reported that the programme highlights were Kim McQuaig, Associate Director of Athletics, Carleton University “Physical Fitness for Today’s Businessman”; Valentine’s Day Ladies Day Luncheon with Hon.

The book “Call Them Canadians” was given to all guest speakers this year. • TV Auction Committee Chairman Stan Greenwood reported that 600 letters were sent out to local firms requesting items for the Auction and Club members each called on 3 firms as a follow-up to these letters. 142 items were sold at the Auction with a profit of approximately $9,000. A full-time TV Auction worker was hired for the office from Aug. 8 to Sept. 23 and was paid $20 a day for this work. • Youth and Citizenship Services Committee Chairman Chris Fournier reported that $500 was approved for Christmas Exchange, $350 to the Rideau Institute for Studies and Information (a programme for underprivileged children); $350 to Operation Achievement; $500 to Ottawa Boys’ Club; $200 to Student Assistance; $2,500 to Christie Lake Boys’ Camp; $150 to Youth Conference meetings; $500 to Senior Citizens, $600 to the Elgin Street School After-Four program,$1,000 to the Ottawa Boys’ Club and $500 for miscellaneous items. $450 was donated to the Ottawa Boys’ Club Centre Town unit to provide needed equipment and $500 to the Ottawa & District Association for the Mentally Retarded. • Ways & Means Committee Chairman Doug Holmes reported that the Turf Lottery ticket sales are finished and the total earnings this year was $3,233.

122 1972-73 President A.E. Lon Campbell Special Activities

• Agriculture and Conservation Committee Chairman Don Evans reported a close alliance was continued with the Ottawa Carleton Conservation Centre and the Old Log Farm project. $3500 was provided to the Old Log Farm for labour and materials to start renovations of the main building under the leadership of Jack Cameron. The sugar bush on the farm was in operation this year by a teacher and a group of students from Aubrey Moodie School with the help of the NCC and the Ontario Department of Resources. The apple trees in the orchard were pruned by another group of students. In May the Committee was joined by 20 members of the Air Cadet Squadron and 4 members of the Key Clubs and a worthwhile day was spent cleaning up the Old Log Farm. The main house and out-buildings and grounds were completely cleaned and a good number of loads carted to the dump. • Camp Banting Committee chaired by Lloyd Askwith reported that a new agreement was drafted with the Ottawa YM-YWCA which outlined the general provisions under which Camp Banting will operate and sets down a timetable of operations for the annual Camp. • Ways & Means Committee Chairman Doug Holmes reported that the Carleton Towers Hotel Grand Opening in October netted $17,240 and provided a most enjoyable evening for all those who attended the event. The Annual $100 a Plate Dinner, which has become one of the City’s top Social events was held at the Chateau Laurier under the able direction of Len Coulter who chaired the dinner. $5,631 was raised and provided an evening of fun and fellowship for 125 of Ottawa’s businessmen. Club Activities

• Agriculture and Conservation Committee Chairman Don Evans reported that our trophy,the oldest trophy awarded at the Ottawa Winter Fair, was presented to the Stormont County 4-H Club for showing of three Jersey calves. 156 people attended the annual Carp Pancake Supper. Jim Plant and Jack Cameron did a superb job with the program where Mrs. Shackleton, the retiring Secretary of the Carp Agriculture Society was honoured. $80 was donated to Camp Overlook towards attendance of 4-H members from Carleton County to this camp in Malone, N.Y. George Davis headed a barbecue to introduce the project to the Club members; 167 people enjoyed true Kiwanis hospitality, toured the site, viewed the displays by the Ottawa Carleton Conservation Centre and the day and evening turned over a profit of $303.00. 60 students used the farm daily during the summer for an educational program in French and English in a rural setting. We were able to have the services of 5 S.W.E.E.P. students and 2 S.W.O.R.D. students during the summer; all the old chinking between the logs was removed and re-chinking of the logs with oakum and mortar was complete. With material supplied by the Club and with the help of the Department of Natural Resources, new doors, windows and frames were installed. The building is now completely closed and work will proceed on the inside during the winter. • Air Cadet Committee Chairman Don Williams reported that the cadets participated in the Miles for Millions Walk, visited the Control Tower at Uplands, took part in the Remembrance Day service at Bells Corners and took in the Ottawa Nationals Hockey Game. Our Squadron won the Inter-Squadron Tournament for the second consecutive year.

123 They visited the DOT Electronic Tech. Training Facilities at Carp, were taken on aircraft familiarization flights, visited the aircraft museum at Rockcliffe Air Base, and visited RMC, Kingston. Cadets attended the summer camp in Bagotville, the winter week-end at Camp “Y”, the National Museum of Science and Technology, the orienteering exercises at Pink Lake, Que. and acted as ushers all day during the Kiwanis TV Auction. Two cadets were chosen for flying scholarships leading to their Private pilot’s licenses and cadets were selected for the Senior Leaders Course, the Technical Training Course and the Physical Education and Recreational Training. Throughout the year the Squadron received excellent support from Canadian Forces Base Uplands, the Air Cadet League of Canada and the Regional Headquarters in Montreal. Capt. Robert Weedmark, a very dedicated officer who has served as our Commanding Officer for the past 4 years has submitted his resignation to take effect at the end of this term. • Attendance and Education Committee Chair Angus McMorran advised that his Committee is concerned with the orientation of the new members and their lack of involvement in the activities of the Club, the District and Kiwanis International and with the continuing process of keeping all members informed of the Club’s activities. During the year there were two Inductions carried out by Past Presidents Sol Max and Sid Lithwick. The new members became directly involved in the presentation of a New Members’ Day with its full measure of fun and jest. This provided an excellent vehicle for the new members to get to know each other and for the Club members to get to know the new members. Improvement was achieved in our attendance percentage which moved from 61.3% last year to 63.0% this year. An attendance contest was held in April which realized an attendance record of 71.9%. • Camp Banting Committee chaired by Lloyd Askwith reported that a new agreement was drafted with the Ottawa YM-YWCA which outlined the general provisions under which Camp Banting will operate and sets down a timetable of operations for the annual Camp. Attendance at Camp this year was at an all-time low of 38 campers. A review of the problem indicates that it is due in part to the increase in family camping, a swing away from residential camps together with a cycle in the number of prospective diabetic campers, many of the senior campers having exceeded the maximum age for the Camp in the past year. There is concern, however, that we are not reaching all potential campers and it has been suggested that this problem be discussed with the Ottawa branch of the Canadian Diabetic Association to determine whether further measures to reach such campers is possible. It may be noted that the camping period this year was in July rather than August because of the reduced residential camping programme of the YM-YWCA and it is likely that this practice will continue. The earlier period helps to ensure more favourable weather. • Inter-Club, Sports & Social Committee Chairman Chris Schroeder reported that besides regular Inter- Clubs to all the local Clubs, we had an Inter-Club with the Kingston Club in April; this was a trip by special bus with 32 aboard, including 17 of our own members. We held a Ski-Weekend at Mont Gabriel, Quebec with 29 members and wives taking part. A Curling Night was held at the Ottawa Hunt Club with 35 members attending both the curling and buffet dinner. An Inter-Club was held at Bradenton, Fla with 7 of our Snowbirds attending. The year ended with our annual Golf Tournament and Dinner held at the Cedarhill Golf Club with 36 Kiwanians taking part. • International Relations Committee Chairman Bill Edge reported that William M. Johnson, Minister of the U.S. Embassy was guest speaker at the Canada-U.S. Goodwill luncheon; further correspondence was carried out with Peter Atukosi in Nigeria and two Ugandan families were hosted by Kiwanians Len Coulter and Bill Edge at our Club’s Family Party. 124 Our foster child sponsorship of Hui Tin Chung was discontinued due to improvement in his family’s circumstances and greater Hong Kong government aid. However, we have undertaken the sponsorship of another young boy, Paulo Candido, aged three and a half years, living in Brazil. • Key Club Committee Chair Ken Thompson felt this was a most exciting, busy and productive year for the Committee because of Fisher Park hosting the 1973 District Convention. A system of sub-committees was set up to handle the various duties with respect to the Convention whereby a Key Clubber and his Committee were assigned a Kiwanian Advisor under the capable leadership of Gary Armstrong. About 375 boys attended the Convention; our own Rt. Rev. Jock Logan-Vencta delivered the Key-Note speech and Canada’s Governor General Roland Mitchener was guest speaker at one of the dinners and also autographed all the copies of the book “” which were given as gifts to the other speakers. Our own Project Environment Committee donated a new trophy to Key Clubbing in honour of our own member, Ken Wynkie, who has given of himself so much toward Key Clubbing in his capacity as District Chairman. This trophy will be awarded annually to the Key Club who has the most effective environmental project. In recognition of the years of service given to the Fisher Park Key Club, Mr. Syd Katz, Faculty Advisor, was sent as our guest to the Key Club International Convention in Chicago. Our Kiwanis Club was awarded the “Superior Sponsor” award at the Kiwanis District Convention in Windsor in recognition of the over 1000 hours of work given by our members to Key Club. • Membership Development Committee Chairman Reg Hobson reported that death removed 3 valuable members - Robert Surgenor, Rogers Scriver and The Rt. Hon. Lester B. Pearson. 6 members transferred to Senior Membership, 20 new members joined our Club and 25 members resigned. Membership at the beginning of the year was 203 and ended the year at 197. During the year a roster by classifications was arranged and a new “Proposal for Membership Card” was prepared for the permanent records file. • Music Committee Chairman Sol Max reported that he felt the report of activities for the year unfortunately does not constitute a summary of one of their more productive terms of office, rather the opposite is true. Unforeseen circumstances (mainly illness) which affected the “principals” involved resulted in a minimum of our usual ‘presentations’. Mayor Pierre Benoit was welcomed in song in order to erase any overtones of political favouritism, a similar welcome was extended to the Hon. , Ontario’s Minister of Tourism and Industry when he spoke to our Club. Our Annual Ladies’ Day programme featured a musical welcome to the gals and a vocalized introduction to the inspiring ex-football player, Reverend Bob Rumball. Under the direction and leadership of Earl Crowe, the Committee joined forces in April for an entertaining musical history of the Club on the occasion of our 55th Charter Anniversary at the Holiday Inn, complete with dancing, costumes, an old-time fashion show and sing-along medley. • Programme Committee Chairman Graham Scott reported that following were some of the programmes organized throughout the year: the four candidates from the Ottawa West Riding - Lloyd Francis (Liberal), Peter Reilly (P.C.), Pauline Jewitt (N.D.P.) and T. Hamelin (S.C.); Rev. Norm Johnston spoke on “Operation Go Home”; His Worship Pierre Benoit presented his official inaugural address to our membership after he was the butt of one of the Music Committee’s presentations and following an “unusual” introduction by Ed Mulkins; Denis Coolican, Chairman of the Regional Municipality of Ottawa-Carleton spoke on Regional Government and highlighted the planning for rapid transit; Ms. Sylvia Gelber, Director, Women’s Bureau, Canada Dept. of Labour presented an eloquent, forceful and somewhat controversial viewpoint on the role of women in the labour force; Eddie McCabe, newly-appointed Sports Editor of the Ottawa Journal, entertained with his witty report on the problems, responsibilities and objectives in running the Sports Section of a newspaper in a medium sized city such as Ottawa.

125 • Public Relations & Public and Business Affairs Committee Chairman Wilf Parry reported that we again sponsored the Blood Donor Clinic at Lansdowne Park; the Ottawa Football Club supplied tremendous support in creating the football theme, also the City of Ottawa provided the Coliseum facilities and staff. Our search for another organization worthy of Kiwanis support led us to Junior Achievement of Ottawa. This service organization provides high school students with a practical experience in operating a business. We arranged for two members to sit on their Board of Directors to provide liaison and determine their needs. The week prior to the Federal elections we had the four candidates in Ottawa West address our Club and in January Mayor Pierre Benoit was our guest speaker and presented his inaugural address. • Spiritual Aims and Operation Drug Alert Committee Chairman Jim Shephard reported that more emphasis was placed on Drug Alert this year and the year was spent in collecting data on what the actual situation was in Ottawa regarding Drugs. Representatives from the RCMP, Board of Education and Social Workers attended our Committee meetings to enable us to become informed as to what was being done by presenting the situation from their respective standpoints. This will be pursued further in the new year. Our Armistice Day service was made more personal by having pictures of Club members taken during their war time service projected on a screen giving us a touch of nostalgia. Salvation Army kettles were sponsored for one day on Sparks Street and manned by Club members. • T.V. Auction Committee Chairman John Marks and Co-Chairmen Hap Nicholds and Mark Max were responsible for an excellent Auction. Many meetings were held throughout the year and the Club was divided into 21 team captains and one meeting was held with all 21 team captains. By doing this it necessitated contacting only 21 people to check on the progress of their attempts to obtain the required 200 items which were Auctioned off. A great part of the success of the Auction was due to the diligent work of our team captains. A dinner for the winning team and their wives was donated by Nate’s “The Place Next Door”; the winning team captain was Charlie Elvins. A request letter was mailed out to all donors from the past year and Club members then followed up with personal meetings and phone calls. The day of theAuction was successfully handled by Mark Max with the delegation of sub-chairmen in the following categories: Delivery, Credit, Telephones, Refreshments, Invoicing, Auction cut off for sale of items, Bid Board, Sorting and Relations with C.J.O.H. This year we were fortunate in being able to reduce our T.V. time cost by being allowed to sell advertising which caused the Club to have a net saving of $2,500. A Certificate of Appreciation was personally delivered to each donor by the Kiwanian who obtained their items and a formal letter was sent to the K-L ladies for their most important contribution of their time and efforts. The net results of theAuction were: 1972 - $8,839; 1973 - $21,903. The gross sales in 1972 were $22,975 and in 1973 $36,212 returning us over 75% of the retail value. Dan McCurdy and Kent Wilkinson were named Chairmen in Waiting so as to ensure a good back-up for the next year’s T.V. Auction. A thank you to the co-chairmen, to Rick Fage for his auditing job and the ever faithful and dependable Auctioneers: Sol Max, Earl Crowe, Ron Wood and Dan McCurdy. • Youth & Citizenship Services Committee chaired by Chris Fournier were responsible for donating $300 to Fraternity House, a halfway house for alcoholics presently run from a house on Ladouceur Street. This assisted the house in an advertising campaign designed to raise sufficient funds to assist in the replacement of the Ladouceur Street house which was apparently dangerous and inadequate, with new quarters with the majority of funds for these new quarters to come from the Ontario Government.

126 $300 was given to Action Sandy Hill Day Camp, a day camp in the Sandy Hill area for approximately 350 children. $300 was donated to the Big Brothers Association of Ottawa and District to fund one relationship between a member of the Club and a Little Brother. An additional $1,000 was given to this organization as a one-time donation for assistance to defray their 1973 deficit. $500 was donated to the Ottawa Boys’ Camp Minwassin to assist underprivileged children attend camp. $500 was given to the Ottawa and District Association for the Mentally Retarded to help the retarded children at the Ontario Hospital in Smiths Falls run Camp Echon.

127 1973-74 President Jack Gordon Special Activities

• Jake Klassen went “over the in a canoe” following the meeting. After bragging he could do exactly this, the members placed bets and followed Jake to the Rideau Falls where Jake proceeded to ‘walk’ over a bridge at the falls carrying his canoe! Needless to say, the Fine Pot was filled that day! • Administrative Secretary Sally Megill retired after 19 years of service to the Club and Shirley Tomblin took on this position. Club Activities

• Agriculture, Conservation and Environment Committee Chairman Ken Thompson reported that the Ottawa Winter Fair Kiwanis trophy was awarded to the members of the Renfrew County 4-H Club. The Carp Pancake Supper was another great success with Mel Thomas from Eastern Breeders as guest speaker. The Old Log Farm project has been relatively quiet this year; we are waiting for our suggestions to the N.C.C. and Ontario Department of Natural Resources to be fitted into their future plans. We have succeeded in arousing their interest in the potential of the Farm as an historic and educational site and have been assured that complete restoration is the goal. The Committee awarded the Ken Wynkie Trophy for the first time and it was won for a combined effort by the two Sarnia District Key Clubs to clean up several areas around Sarnia. The Committee established communication with the Carp Agricultural Society with the intention of becoming involved with the Carp Fair. A number of suggestions were put forward such as the Hospitality Tent, which was turned over to the Youth and Citizenship Committee and a Story Book Farm which was handled by this Committee. A new award, in the form of a silver tray, was provided for the Beef Exhibitor accumulating the most points to be named the Premier Exhibitor and was won by Mack James of Almonte. • Air Cadets Committee Chairman Larry Nelms reported that the 211 Squadron has completed one of the most successful years in its 32 year history. It saw the arrival of Lt. Shirley Willette as CO of the Squadron. 16 Cadets took part in the Kiwanis TV Auction at television station CJOH; Squadron Officers attended the Air Cadet League of Canada, Quebec Provincial Committee at CFB Bagotville, Quebec; Gliding training began at Pendelton Air Field; the Squadron facilities passed the survey check by CFB Ottawa Security survey Team; a Colour Party at Uplands International Airport welcomed the Kiwanis International President to Ottawa; Cadets took part in brush cutting at the new glider field at Kars, On and the Squadron took a trip to General Motors Ltd. in Oshawa, On. The highest honour a cadet can receive is to be selected for a summer scholarship; this year, out of a strength of 55, our squadron received 10 such scholarships - they included 1 Exchange visit to Holland, 2 Flying, 2 Gliding, 1 Technical Training, 1 Athletic Leadership, 1 Ground Search and Survival and 2 Senior Leaders. Attendance and Education Committee led by Gordon Helmer had a very active year. They concentrated on Education and put special emphasis on assimilating new members into the Club. Two pre-induction meetings were conducted for new members chaired by Past Presidents Ken Wynkie and Gary Armstrong and three formal induction ceremonies were performed at the Friday luncheons chaired by Past Presidents Lyle Blackwell, Barry Weatherdon and Lloyd Vineberg. Past President Mac McLean continued to present each new member with a copy of the book “The Widening Path” and he organized the Legion of Honour presentations during the visit of International President Bill Eagles.

128 Once again Angus McMorran was responsible for maintaining our attendance records. The attendance this year was 66.6%, an increase of 3.6% over last year. • Camp Banting Committee Chairman Doug Legere reported that we had a total of 51 campers in attendance, an increase of 13 campers over the previous year. Cost to the Club was approximately $4,500. The increase in attendance showed a decrease in cost per camper per day from 1973 at $15.49 per day to $14.18 per day in 1974. A Camp Banting Day was held at a luncheon in July with Les Lye as guest speaker and members of the camping staff and C.D.A. members in attendance. 88 guests were in attendance at Camp Banting Night to enjoy a great outing with food and a show put on by the campers. • Interclub, Sports and Social Committee Chairman Earl Valley reported that we held 8 Interclub visits during the year, including a trip to Montreal to take in a Montreal Expo baseball game and an Inter Club visit with the Lake St. Louis Kiwanis Club. A very enjoyable “Winter Weekend” was held at Chateau Montebello with 43 in attendance. Curling and dinner was enjoyed by 35 members at the Ottawa Hunt Club; during Canada-U.S. Goodwill Week we welcomed a visit from International President Dr. Bill Eagles and hosted Inter Club visits from 15 different Clubs from Ontario, Quebec and Northern N.Y. In May we enjoyed visits from two large delegations of 28 Kiwanians and their wives from Rochester, N.Y. who visited us during Ottawa’s Tulip Festival, as did 26 Kiwanians from the Toronto Kiwanis Club. 20 members played golf and enjoyed dinner at the Cedarhill Golf and Country Club. The Social calendar wound up with a “Round Robin” Cocktail Party organized by Jack Johannsen when Joyce and David Loeb, Joan and Gordon Henderson and Hy and Ruth Soloway and Harold Shenkman opened their homes for this most enjoyable party. • Host and Health Committee Chaired by Dick Crawley felt that by simplifying and standardizing of the “Host” procedures each Friday it has worked well and has eliminated guess work as much as possible. By utilizing new members as “Greeters” we have helped to make them better known to the Club members and at the same time they have provided a very valuable and warm welcome to everyone at our weekly Club luncheons. During the year we also reviewed all Club name badges; 47 required changes or repairs. Don Williams took on the job of providing inserts at no cost to the Club. We were disappointed in not always knowing when our members or families suffered ill health, consequently we were not able to do as good a job on flower sending, greeting cards, etc as we would like to have done; we rely on being informed as soon as possible. • Key Club Committee Chairman Merle Armstrong reported that this was a most exciting, busy and productive year for the Key Club Committee. It began with a rebuilding project of both the Tech and Fisher Park Key Clubs. By the end of November, a membership drive by the Fisher Park Key Club had increased their Club from 5 members to 30 members; it was also noted that Tech had gone from 3 members to 13. A volleyball game was held between Fisher Park Key Club and our Kiwanis Club - they won 3 games to our 1. The District Convention was held at the Sheraton Four Seasons Hotel with 27 members from Fisher Park and 9 from Tech in attendance. Dan Lane of the Tech Key Club was selected as Lieutenant Governor for our Division after only 3 months in Key Clubbing. • Membership Development Committee Chair Hap Nicholds was pleased to report that they recruited 27 new members but sorry that there were 30 resignations - several were the result of Board action affecting members who were not attending regularly. Arthur Ames and Pat Patterson passed away during the year and 5 members transferred to Senior Membership. The year ended with 195 members. • Music Committee chaired by Mark Max began its term of office with a musical “retirement” send-off to Past President Lon Campbell. 129 In November a full-scale, old fashioned “commercial” highlighted “Caplan Day” on the occasion of the opening of the million-dollar addition to their store and to inaugurate their expansion program; 22 members participated in the musical presentation. In December we participated in the “Citizen Day” programme, commemorating the opening of The Ottawa Citizen’s beautiful new modern plant. 20 members joined in the presentation, which was highlighted by a Bill Navan piano solo and a duet with guest speaker Charles Lynch on the harmonica and the Committee musicians. In December 28 members revived an old Music Committee tradition and staged a complete fairy-tale for the Annual Family Christmas Party - “The Story of Cinderella” This lengthy production was replete with costumes, lighting, props and scenery. In February over 20 members, plus Earl Crowe on tape, joined in our Ladies’ Day meeting to pay a musical tribute to our Secretary Sally Megill on her retirement. When International President Bill Eagles visited Ottawa, over 20 members joined in his musical introduction. In the same week, 18 Committee members plus a few “ringers” led a musical tribute to Kiwanian Alex Dayton during the banquet marking the occasion of Alex’s selection as B’nai Brith’s Citizen of the Year at the Jewish Community Centre. In June our Committee stepped outside of a Kiwanis meeting to perform a musical history as part of the Boy’s Club’s Golden Anniversary Dinner celebrations at the Civic Centre. 37 members attended two rehearsals before joining in the presentation. In September 24 members, including 3 new members, participated in a musical way in the tribute to Kiwanian Alex Betcherman and a musical thank you to President Jack Gordon for an excellent year in the chair. An extra-special thank you to our “stars” - Harry Brown, Orv Boville and Jack Daly and many, many thanks to our pianist Bill Navan for his ever-faithful musical accompaniment each and every meeting. • Programme Committee Chairman Jack Bowman advised that his Committee placed accent on current events as well as diversity and encouraged participation by all Committees offering open dates for special programs and accepting suggestions unreservedly. Highlight programs included a talk by Lyle Blackwell on the World Conference of International Cystic Fibrosis in Poland; Dr. Meron, Ambassador from Israel talked on “Israel’s Struggle For a Place in the World”; Edgar Gallant, Chairman National Capital Commission - “The Challenge Facing the N.C.C.”; Hon. Joseph T. Thorson, Q.C. takes a stand against bilingualism in Canada; Al Hartley presents Archie’s Roll in Today’s Comics; Tulip Festival Week with a special Dutch program with Wooden Shoe Dancers and Jon Joosten speaking on “Sons of Holland, 1975” - Interclub visit by the Toronto Kiwanis Club; Ottawa Football Club Day - introduction of players and coaches by Frank Clair; Buffet luncheon and Tour of the new Citizen Plant arranged by Reg Hobson. Jake Klassen went “over the Rideau Falls in a canoe” following the meeting. After bragging he could do exactly this, the members placed bets and followed Jake to the Rideau Falls where Jake proceeded to ‘walk’ over the falls carrying his canoe! Needless to say, the Fine Pot was filled that day! • Public and International Relations & Public Affairs Committee Chairman Steve Morris reported that a Blood Donor Clinic was again held at Lansdowne Park, ably assisted by the Ottawa Football Club who brought the Grey Cup along - 365 pints were collected and we were encouraged that over 100 first time donors provided the Red Cross with a totally new source. We again hosted the Citizenship and Immigration court and our foster child was again sponsored by the Committee with many members corresponding with him. Our relations with the news media were at times excellent and at times rather strained; it seems that they are working on a fairly tight budget and, unless our speaker is of high quality, they are not prepared to provide us with coverage.

130 • Spiritual Aims and Operation Drug Alert Committee Chairman Jim Shephard reported that the Operation Drug Alert part of the program was de-emphasized as it was felt by the Committee that this problem was decreasing. Two bibles in braile were purchased to be loaned to interested parties; these will remain the property of the Club to be loaned as needed. Rev. Ralph Cummings of First Baptist Church was sponsored and introduced to the Club as an Honorary member. Salvation Army kettles were successfully manned on Sparks Street - 20 members raised $696.00. • T.V. Auction Committee Chairman John Marks reported that, for the first time, 3 Co-Chairmen were appointed - 1st - Hap Nicholds, 2nd - Kent Wilkinson, 3rd Mark Max along with 21 Team Captains, with the purpose of dividing the Club with a Captain directly responsible for his team members. Again this year we reduced our cost for TV time by selling advertisement which brought the Club a net saving of $2,000. A Certificate of Appreciation was delivered to each donor during the coming year for their participation in the Auction and a formal letter was sent to the ladies for their most important contribution and their time and efforts. We gratefully acknowledge the free advertising obtained on CKOY, CFRA, CFGO and the Ottawa Citizen and Ottawa Journal. Net results of the Auction in 1972 $8,839, in 1973 $21,903, in 1974 $25,113. Our dependable Auctioneers Jack Daly and Sol Max again did an excellent job. • Ways & Means Committee Chairman Barry Young reported that the $100 a Plate Dinner, our second largest fund raising venture, was again successful, netting a record $6,294; the Used Suit Sale promoted and chaired by Doug Holmes, although organized in this year will not be held until next year. • Youth & Citizenship Services Committee chaired by Bill O’Neill reported that this was a very busy year for the Committee. Operation Go Home - at the request of a fellow Kiwanian, we looked into a very worthwhile organization run by the Rev. Norm Johnson to assist runaway young people to return home. The Committee determined that financial assistance was not the most pressing need but one of our members spent considerable time with Mr. Johnson in incorporating “Operation Go Home” in order that donations to this cause could be tax deductible; a Council is also to be formed. Glebe Centre - $352 was approved to install a full length mirror on each floor; $500 donated to the Ottawa & District Association for the Mentally Retarded for a summer camp; $500 given to the Centre for Educative Growth for the treatment of disturbed children; $500 donated to the Ottawa Board of Education Central Choir to assist them to travel to the Spokane World’s Fair. Many Kiwanians acted as judges at a gathering of young people from across Canada in the National Student Debating Federation - we sponsored a luncheon at a cost of $90. $110 was approved to purchase a safety film for the Children’s Safety Village; $1,500 donated to Christie Lake Boys’ Camp; $250 to Ottawa Boys’ Club Camp Minwassin; $350 to Action Sandy Hill; $300 to Sister Gertrude Wadsworth who operates a summer camp for needy families; $400 was approved to provide a marquee tent in order that Senior Citizens and the Handicapped could be able to see the Carp Fair from a vantage point more comfortable than in the past.

132 1974-75 President Elmore Tufts Special Activities

• On Christmas Day, under the auspices of this Committee, Club members of the Jewish faith served Christmas dinner and entertainment to approximately 100 Seniors at a Senior Citizens building at 250 Donald Street. • At our Club’s Christmas Party, 47 Senior Citizens were our guests; transportation was provided by our members. Club Activities

• Agriculture, Conservation and Environment Committee Chairman Bob Alyea reported that the Kiwanis Club of Ottawa 4-H trophy was awarded to the Frontenac County Beef 4-H Club. The guest speaker at the Carp Pancake Supper was Bob Rupert and the supper was moved to the Carp Fair Grounds Pavilion; it was held in May rather than in the Fall and the attendance was greatly increased. The Old Log Farm has been given full project status by the N.C.C. and a Fall property plan is being worked on. This summer 7 students from the Algonquin College Museum Technology Course were employed under a Museum grant to do the actual work - our original work seems to be bearing fruit and the project is continuing well. The Ken Wynkie Trophy was awarded to Colonel By High School this year. This year we rented a large 20’ x 80’ tent for the Carp Fair which was erected for us and, with the co- operation of the Carp Agricultural Society and local farmers we had an impressive array of farm animals and exotic birds for the public to view. At least 100 people visited the tent. The silver tray award was won by Gustave Verch. • Air Cadets Committeee Chairman Merle Armstrong was pleased to report that this was one of the Squadron’s most successful years ever with a strength of 64 cadets at the beginning of the year and 80 at the end of the year. 12 cadets helped out at the TV Auction and 16 cadets acted as hosts for the Senior Citizens at the Carp Fair. Cadets held the 1st Annual Curling Bonspiel with Vic Castledine presenting the “Victor Castledine Trophy”. 40 Cadets visited the U.S. Air Force Base in Plattsburg, N.Y. And 18 cadets attended summer camp at Bagotville, Que. 1 cadet attended an exchange visit to Sweden and a cadet was hired as instructor at Cold Lake, Alberta. • Camp Banting Committee Chair Mike Loignon reported that camp cost of operation was $11,323 compared to $10,350 last year, an increase of close to 10%. We spent $800 for printing a new brochure for a four year supply. We had 49 campers this year and Camp Banting Night was a great success with more than 100 guests in attendance to enjoy a splendid outdoor dinner, a golf competition and a canoe race followed by entertainment put on by the campers. • Education & Attendance Committee Chairman Fred Price reported that 8 new members were inducted into full membership by Past President Herb Armstrong. A pre-induction gathering was held at the home of Angus and Catherine McMorran, under the chairmanship of Past President Barry Weatherdon. It has become the custom of the new members to take an active role by putting on the Program at the first Club meeting in April. This year’s extravaganza was staged by some 20 members and, in the process, they got to know each other and the Club a lot better. Participation Month is the new name for the “perfect attendance” period in April. The scoring system now counts attendance at Committee and Key Club meetings, as well as at Club, Board and Make-ups throughout the month. Attendance was 73%. Club attendance for the year averaged 66.3%.

133 At the 57th Anniversary Dinner in May, Past President and Past International Vice President Charles Hulse made the presentation of inscribed photos of the late Arthur Ames and Cecil Burgess to the Club’s Hall of Fame. Vic Castledine presented Legion of Honour certificates to 9 members who had from 25 years to 50 years of membership. • Host and Health Committee Chairman Dick Crawley was pleased to report that the Club had a very successful meeting at the Holiday Inn to celebrate the 90th Anniversary of the Salvation Army in Ottawa with over 600 people in attendance. It was possible to have the Club Roster updated and in the members’ hands prior to the commencement of the new year. The Club inventory was checked on a regular basis; we acquired a new Head Table set of Kiwanis National flags donated by Con Stoltz. Our banner and gong were “borrowed” by a visiting Club as a lark and required some inconvenience on our part to recover these articles. Considering the stature and size of our Club, we think it inappropriate, and this conduct should be discouraged at the Division level. The Club badges were updated during the year. • Interclub, Sports & Social Committee chaired by Joe Forrest reported that we entertained a group of Kiwanians from South Burlington, Vermont; upon being met at the train by our members, they were entertained in the Reception Room of the Chateau Laurier. After the luncheon we arranged a tour of the House of Commons. We hosted a visit from the Lester B. Pearson Choir whom we met at the YM-YWCA; a very enjoyable bus tour of the City was arranged by our Committee in conjunction with the Music Committee The annual Curling Bonspiel was held at the Rideau Curling Club and ended with an enjoyable dinner attended by 29 Club members. The annual winter week-end was held at Chateau Montebello and was a great success with 47 people in attendance. Our annual Golf Day was held at the Cedarhill Golf and Country Club with 21 members participating in the golf and 24 out for the dinner. In addition to our own 11 Inter Club visits throughout the year we also had an Inter Club with Palmetto, Florida and one with Sarasota, Florida with 4 of our members in attendance each time. • Key Club Committee Chairman Barry Young was sorry to report that the Ottawa Technical Key Club disbanded in September, 1974 and we were unable to re-organize their Club; Fisher Park Key Club had a successful year. In February 15 Key Clubbers challenged our Club to a bowling tournament and luckily we were able to recruit enough “ringers” to trounce the Fisher “Red and White” team. The Key Club District Convention was held in Montreal and was attended by the complete Fisher Park Key Club. We were very proud this year to have Mr. Syd Katz, Fisher Park Key Club Advisor approved as an Honorary Member of the Kiwanis Club of Ottawa in recognition of his 10 years’ work with the Fisher Park Key Club. • Laws & Regulations Committee chaired by Lyle Blackwell reported that our Trust Fund (increased from $500 to $3,000 through the Al MacFarlane and Rogers Scriver Funds) be re-organized complete with Trustees. The Fund has since been increased by the Ken Wynkie Fund of $2,000 making a total of $5,000. David Hill revised the By-laws to include changes implemented by Kiwanis International over the past decade. Two Trustees are to be appointed by the Past President’s Council and one is to be appointed by the Board of Directors. Dues and initiation fees shall be ratified each year via minutes (currently $50.00 initiation and $100 annual dues).

134 The revised By-laws are now being prepared for the approval of Kiwanis International and are expected to be ratified in early 1976. We consider that with these By-laws we have made a major contribution to the “good housekeeping” within our Club. • Membership Development Committee Chaired by Art Moody was pleased that we ended the year with an additional 3 new members for a total of 198. We mourned the passing of Henry Baylin and Ken Wynkie. We were pleased to note that two former members rejoined the Club, namely Doug Holmes and Past President Reid Wilson. • Music Committee Chairman Con Stoltz thanked Sol Max, Harry Brown, Reg Hobson, Orv Boville and Jack Daly for their great assistance during the year, with a special thank you to our pianist Bill Navan as well as appreciation to all the rest of the Committee; without their cooperation we would not have achieved our objectives. The term of office began with a musical tribute to Past President Jack Gordon on his retirement from office. December 13th was Day and again the Music Committee came up with a most entertaining program and some good advice to the new Coach in their tribute to Russ Jackson. Our production of “Snow White” at the Kiwanis Family Party had stars like Cec Morrison, Kent Wilkinson, Don Williams, Larry Nelms and that giant of entertainment Tom Lamothe to entertain the children as well as the adults. Ladies Day had a special treat in store, complete with Gypsies and Hungarian Gypsy Music to serenade the ladies. A tribute was paid to Governor Charles Forsyth in March and our Club honoured the Salvation Army’s 90th year in Ottawa at a concert at the National Arts Centre, joined by the Staff Band of the Salvation Army and the Central Band of the Canadian Armed Forces. In June a new addition to Donna and Warren Valley was announced musically and in August we welcomed Robbie to the Larry and Bonnie Nelms household. In September the Music Committee presented the program for the Sage Kiwanis Club Charter Night. The highlight of the year came with theMusic Committee’s musical tribute to Kiwanian Cec Morrison on the occasion of his 85th birthday; this event was in such great form that we were invited to perform at the Board of Trade’s Award Winning Dinner in honour of his daughter, Mrs. Arthur (Jean) Pigott. • Programme Committee Chairman Harold Wyman reported that, in addition to arranging for a balanced menu of 52 speakers, the duties of this Committee involve the selection of a member to introduce, another to express appreciation and yet another to welcome the visitors; added to this are the arrangements for occasional entertainment and the additional Head Table people. At the beginning of the year, we sent out a questionnaire to find out member preferences for the various types of programs and tried to adhere to the wishes of the members in this regard. The highlight program was the Salvation Army/Diefenbaker Luncheon with in excess of 700 people in attendance. • Public & International Relations and Public Affairs Committee chaired by Larry Nelms was responsible for a “Meet Your Candidates” meeting in the by-election for Carleton East with Matt McGrath and Don Reid speaking on the topic of Civic Elections; a debate with all the Mayoralty Candidates; an extraordinary meeting with Real Caouette as speaker, Rev. John Duncan speaking on the Capital Punishment question, Robert Nixon on the Provincial Elections and Roger Flumerfelt on the topic of Immigration. It was formally recognized that one of the youngest entrepreneurs in the capitalist world is “The Paperboy”; trophies were presented to the Carrier of the Year selected by each of the three leading newspapers in Ottawa. Our Foster Child was again sponsored by the Committee and Bob Alyea, while in Brazil, attempted to visit him but, although time did not allow, gifts Bob took were forwarded to him.

135 Relations with Junior Achievement were officially severed; they are now able to operate on their own without any assistance from us. Our Annual Blood Donor Clinic was again a success. We established a nation-wide contest with all the CFL cities and their major Kiwanis Clubs. A trophy, “The Red Cup” and a citation signed by the Governor General of Canada were presented to Regina as the “Bloodiest City in Canada”. Sage Kiwanis Club Chairman Jack Gordon responded to the Club`s request that our Club take the required steps to form a Retired Men`s Kiwanis Club in Ottawa. It was decided that Charles Wright act as interim Chairman for the group and the Lincoln Fields Restaurant was chosen as the meeting place every Thursday morning at 10:00 a.m. The first meeting started with 11 in attendance and increased to 27 when the application for the Charter was made. They decided to name the Club the “Sage Kiwanis Club of Ottawa”, the word Sage representing “Senior Active Gentlemen Engaged”. Ernie Jones was elected as the Charter President and the Charter Night took place on September 23rd, 1975 in the Ballroom of the Chateau Laurier with 215 people in attendance; the guest speaker was Governor Charles Forsyth. All Clubs in Division 12 joined to present the required regalia to the new Club and a delightful performance was given by our Club`s Music Committee. Later the Sage Club changed their meeting place to the Westgate Restaurant and the present membership is now 40 members. • Seniors Citizens Committee Chairman Bill O’Neill led this new Committee which was formed to enable our Club to support the Major Emphasis Program of Kiwanis International “The Greater Years”. Under the direction of Bill Zimmerman, Director of the Social Planning Council, we met with senior officials of 11 agencies serving the needs of Senior Citizens who all agreed that the greatest need in the city was for a “Council on Aging”. The Provincial Government provided a grant of $15,000 to form the Ottawa-Carleton Council on Aging and our Club approved $7,000 to meet the Council’s budget of $22,000. 3 members of our Club were appointed to serve on the Council, the first Council on Aging in the Province of Ontario. On Christmas Day, under the auspices of this Committee, Club members of the Jewish faith served Christmas dinner and entertainment to approximately 100 Seniors at a Senior Citizens building at 250 Donald Street. At our Club’s Christmas Party, 47 Senior Citizens were our guests; transportation was provided by our members. Our members manned one checkpoint at the Ottawa Chapter of the Kidney Foundation Cyclothon where $125,000 was raised in order that the Foundation may check all children in the Ottawa schools for diseases related to kidney malfunction. In September, through the generosity of some of our Club members, we were able to provide tickets to 72 Seniors to attend the Concert at the National Arts Centre commemorating the Salvation Army’s 90th Anniversary in Ottawa. We provided a marquee tent at the Carp Fair in order that Senior Citizens and handicapped people would be able to attend the fair from a better vantage point; refreshments were served and several hundred people were accommodated in this large tent. Mental Health Rehabilitation Centre Chairman Dick Crawley reported that the Mental Health Rehabilitation Centre occupied approximately 2500 square feet on the third floor of the YM-YWCA building. The project is under the auspices of the three levels of Government and financed by grants from all three levels; the project is operated by Mental Health Ottawa with the assistance of the Kiwanis Club of Ottawa. The Centre, designed for a capacity of 60 clients, now has 46 in training. Six full-time professionals guide the programs, assisted by 16 healthy volunteers from the community.

136 Kiwanis participation so far has included furnishing of the Centre through donations of $5,000 in equipment, furniture and services by Club members at no cost to the Club. Participation at the Board and Centre Committee level, was by Gary Armstrong, Board member and Treasurer of Mental Health Ottawa; Allan Lamb, Board member and Treasurer of the Rehabilitation Centre, Dick Crawley, Board member and Rehabilitation Centre committee member, Roy Loken, Counselor to the employment co-ordinator and Jack McKnight, advisor re community resources. In the short time that the project has been under way, 3 clients are undertaking part-time work at the YM- YWCA Library, one client is currently in an upgrading program at Algonquin College with another to begin shortly and 10 clients are presently involved in night school courses sponsored by Boards of Education • Support of Spiritual Aims Committee Chairman Doug Legere reported that this Committee was responsible for the following Club luncheons: Remembrance Day, Brotherhood Week; Maundy Thursday and Thanksgiving Day. We assisted in the manning of the Salvation Army Christmas Kettles on Sparks Street and collected $696.50 in one cold day. • TV Auction Committee Chairman Kent Wilkinson was ably assisted by John Marks, Hap Nicholds and Vince Calzonetti. 12 teams, each led by a Captain were chosen with 10 members per team. The Committee felt that although the financial results were satisfactory, too much work is done by too few Kiwanians for too little monetary return. A tremendous amount of work goes into this production and it is felt that it`s time for the Club in general to make a firm decision to either support this project whole heartedly or abandon it for another fund raising project. We should search for more lucrative return items, more major items because we are constantly fighting the clock,Auction ing off 250 items in a 6 hour production. Revenue - $49,753; Expenses $23,189 for net income of $26,564. • Ways & Means Committee chaired by Jack Bowman reported that the $100 a Plate Benefit Dinner netted the Club $5,181 - $1,000 less than last year due to the increased cost of the meal. The Used Suit Sale was continued again this year through the facilities of Vince Calzonetti and on the Mall and $688 was raised. The Musical Salute to the Salvation Army at the National Arts Centre with the Central Forces Band of the Canadian Armed Forces, hosted the Staff Band of the Salvation Army and a very enjoyable and entertaining program was presented but, unfortunately ticket sales by our Club members was much lower than anticipated and the venture was not successful from a monetary standpoint - we stand to lose $800 to $900; however the cultural and entertainment benefits derived and public relations advantages were worth every penny of loss. • Youth & Citizenship Services Committee Chairman Allan Lamb reported on the following projects: Lowertown Children`s Program - a program to provide breakfasts to underpriviledged children in the Sandy Hill area was allocated $300; Sister Gertrude`s Summer Camp for underpriviledged families from all denominations at Val-des-Bois, Quebec. Dining room facilities in the main house were constructed in an area which was formerly used as a storage shed and garage, 5 cabins and the chapel were chaulked, the interior painted, screens and screen doors replaced and other general maintenance done by many Kiwanians. Some Kiwanians donated materials and cost to the Club was $1,150. Our Committee was responsible for one of the two Major Emphasis programs called `The Younger Years` and was dedicated to assist the members of the Association of Children With Learning Disabilities, Ottawa Branch. We contributed $7,900 to purchase a film entitled “Why Can`t I Learn”, office and audio-visual equipment as well as a variety of resource materials. $5,300 was approved to help purchase a 12-passenger van for the Union Mission for Men; $1,500 donated to Christie Lake Camp – for a total of $13,550.

A new departure for this Committee, assisted by the Inter Club, Sports & Social Committee was the sponsorship of a Club social event called the Country Soiree. This was held at the country home of Charlie & Ruth Roney and consisted of a full steak barbecue dinner served outside under the stars followed by an open bar and dancing to an orchestra. 187 tickets were sold at $15.00 each - a great success which we hope will continue each year. Again this year we provided a tent to house the Story Book Farm display at the Carp Fair and members attended the display during the entire day for the purpose of supervising the exhibits; in addition a silver tray was presented to the Premier Beef Cattle exhibitor, Ralph Miller. • Air Cadet Committee chaired by Warren Valley completed one of the most successful years in its 34 year history. It saw the arrival of Dean Broadfoot as CO of the squadron; 50 new cadets joined and the strength of the squadron at the beginning of the year was 70 and closed the year with 76 cadets. 12 cadets helped out in the Carp Fair’s Senior Citizens Tent and in the Story Book Farm exhibit; 42 cadets attended a 67’s hockey game; 30 cadets and 4 officers went on an ice fishing expedition north of Renfrew - a great success; cadets sold lottery tickets and realized $200 to assist them with their upcoming trip to Toronto; flying began with 9 cadets getting aloft; 211 received 14 scholarships this year - 5 of these are flying scholarships; the Air Cadet Pipe and Drum Band continue rehearsing at Highland Park High School; 3 cadets went to Pilot training at St. Jean and received their wings; two went to Glider Pilot Training. • Camp Banting Committee Chairman reported that integration with Camp Y allowed costs to lower as we spent less than $4,000 on camp this year. We had 44 campers with 10 unable to pay the $95.00 camping fee and the fee for five campers was paid by their Service Clubs or the Canadian Diabetic Association. This was the first year that girls were included as campers. Over 100 Kiwanians and friends attended Camp Banting Night and enjoyed a great meal; afterwards the campers put on skits for entertainment. The Birks Trophy, the McKendry Trophy and the Best Swimmer Cup were presented to the winners.

139 • Education and Attendance Committee chaired by Fred Price was pleased that 24 new members were inducted into membership in the Club with 3 inductions conducted by Past President Ian Kirkconnell, Lt. Gov. Jack Gordon and Very Rev. Dr. Jock Logan-Vencta throughout the year. “Memberaction Month”, the perfect attendance period in February brought attendance at Club meetings to 71.3% - a distinct success. Club attendance for the year averaged 67.44%. Duncan Longmire and Frank Patterson were added to our Hall of Fame. An up-dated booklet on our Club called “This Is Our Club” was completed and published this year. • Host and Health Committee Chairman Matt McGrath reported that Gord Lundy assumed the responsibility of preparing the Club Roster. The Club badges were kept up to date as information became available and Don Williams provided new badges when needed. The Health half of the committee’s responsibility was sadly neglected. • Inter Club, Sports & Social Committee Chairman Stan Greenwood reported that the committee had a busy and very successful year. We had 17 Inter Clubs during the year at 7 different Clubs, including 2 in Florida with an average attendance of 7. We sponsored the Divisional Curling Bonspiel this year at the Rideau Curling Club with 18 teams (72 curlers) and 52 members for dinner. Westboro rink won the “spiel”. The annual Winter Weekend was again held at the Chateau Montebello with Donna and Warren Valley looking after our hospitality suite.

The winners were: Bill McCartney (2nd low gross) MacRostie & McKay Trophy; Jim Plant (low gross over 18 handicap) Vic Castledine Trophy; Tom Pullen (low net) George Wolfe, Sr. Trophy. Our Round Robin Cocktail Party was held at the homes of Sid and Ida Lithwick, Cliff and Currie Mahoney and Bob & Pat Nichol with 148 Kiwanians and friends in attendance. Jack Johannsen again made all the arrangements for this fabulous evening. Committee meetings were held at Doug Holmes’ office, at Ian Kirkconnell’s office, at Jack Bowman’s cottage and at Arnie Owen’s cottage. • Key Club Committee Chairman Scott Smith reported that Fisher Park Key Club had a very active and enjoyment filled year mainly due to the excellent student Advisor Sid Katz and Club President John Martin. Weekly attendance was between 16 and 22 boys. Some of the projects undertaken were as follows: Sent 2 boys each week to the Connaught Underprivileged Children’s Lab to help teach and entertain the underprivileged boys; sponsored a school dance at the Holiday Inn; organized a volleyball game against school cheerleaders; sponsored the Snow Queen Pageant at Winter Week; helped clean-up the school during the janitors’ strike; in charge of cleaning the canteen throughout the year on a daily basis; organized, with the newly formed Glebe Key Club and ran one weekly Kiwanis luncheon meeting. A Glebe Key Club was chartered under the Presidency of Rocco D’Angelo with 13 members and they received their Charter at a weekly Kiwanis meeting. They ran two movies for the student body and organized a school dance and sold soft drinks at another. 10 boys attended the London District Convention. • Laws and Regulations Committee chaired by David Hill was instrumental in re-establishing the Kiwanis Trust Fund and setting up Trustees to operate the Fund. Trustees were Sol Max, Alex Betcherman, Ian Kirkconnell, Basil McEnery and Don Waugh. During the year the Committee was called on from time to time to give the Board of Directors or other Committees guidance. It dealt with such things as the restrictions governing lotteries & the proposed licensing of charitable appeals by the City of Ottawa.

140 • Membership Development Committee Chairman John Harcourt, Sr. reported that the Club increased its membership by 2 this year for a total of 200. 21 new members joined the Club and we mourned the death of D. Roy Kennedy and Weir Stewart; 18 members resigned. • The Ottawa Board of Trade invited ourMusic Committee to assist them with their presentation to Mrs. Jean Pigott, recipient of their award for Distinguished Service to the Business Community for 1975. The ever-popular Kiwanis Family Party proved to be one of the highlights of this year’s events with the presentation of “Little Red Riding Hood”. On Ladies Day we serenaded them to the sweet sounds of Gypsy music and this was the first time that we attempted to have the ladies join us. We honored R.L. Crain Ltd with one of Sol’s great commercials; the Music Committee assisted our Club in hosting delegates from the Canadian Cystic Fibrosis Foundation Convention in Ottawa; the following Legion of Honour Kiwanians were welcomed to the vibrant music of the “Col. Bogey” march in - Allan Castledine, Earl Valley, Tom Carson, Gordon Henderson, Maxwell Taylor, Bill Sparks, Arnt Loa, Cliff Mahoney, Lyle Blackwell and Len Leclair. TheMusic Committee paid tribute to Vic Castledine on Air Cadet Day as we celebrated the 35th Anniversary of the Kiwanis Air Cadet 211 Squadron with this salute to founder Vic Castledine. In July the Friday meeting was a flash-back review of theMusic Committee - This brief history of “How It All Began” was presented by Sol Max and honoured some outstanding Kiwanians with humorous anecdotes from past events. Tribute was paid to members Tom Johnstone, Charlie Wright, Earl Valley and, of course, our Maestro Sol Max who was one of the founding members of this Committee and the only one who is still an active member. It was at this meeting that we featured no less than 6 pianists - Bill Navan, Harry Brown, Orv Boville, Bill Shenkman, Harold Shenkman and Howie Lithwick - with father and son Harold and Bill Shenkman playing a piano duet. Phil Johnston at the microphone had us all in stitches with his commentary. In August we honoured Harry Pullen before his departure to Guyana where he has been invited to set up a Masters Program in Education. Vital Statistics were presented on the occasion of Pat and Ken Birchall’s new son and Tom and Judy Beveridge’s second son. • Program Committee Chairman Dick Crawley was pleased that, rather than a small group being entirely responsible for arranging 52 programs, each of the 17 committees and their members were asked several months in advance to plan, produce and be responsible for 3 meetings during the year with the Program Committee itself designed to be a catalyst and control group. Once Club members were aware of our objectives and recognized that the Program Committee was not just passing the buck, but were working very hard to co-ordinate, control quality and provide ideas, the expected pessimism of a new format disappeared and was replaced with pride of accomplishment and many outstanding programs were the result. There were 35 speakers, 15 musical content and 10 special programs. • Public Affairs Committee Chairman Jim Knox reported that we organized a a very successful Red Cross Blood Donor Day again this year. This day involved the C.F.L. cities and their major Kiwanis Club; unfortunately Vancouver, Calgary, Toronto, Hamilton and Montreal did not take part; Regina was the winner. Our weekly Bulletin was sent to the newspapers, TV and radio stations and the community newspapers. When programs of special public interest were held, a Committee member would call a representative of each local news media and so advise them. Save-A-Life (Hypertension) Committee - this new Committee was chaired by Gary Armstrong and its sole function was to investigate ways in which our Club could effectively assist in the detection and treatment of hypertension (high blood pressure), “the silent killer” affecting 10% of our adult population. We made extensive research involving both the Ottawa Valley Chapter of the Kidney Foundation of Canada and the Canadian Heart Foundation. 141 Our potential involvement ranged from $17,000 in financial assistance to purchase a mobile unit along with automatic screening equipment to massive testing programs in shopping centres, clubs and associations involving manpower contributions and to developing a model “test” program at our Friday luncheon. Professional opinion was wide and varied leaning more towards the negative aspects of imperfect mass- testing programs. After much consideration the Committee felt that, although hypertension is a major problem, effective use of financial support would not be served by purchasing equipment; the main thrust of our efforts should be in acting as a catalyst to increase public awareness and we felt further involvement by our Club would serve no useful purpose at this time. • Senior Citizens Committee Chairman Orv Boville reported that the Seniors Christmas Day Dinner was directed and organized by Sol Max with assistance from Alex Dayton, George Wolf and son, Harold Shenkman, Jack Gordon, David Loeb, Phil Johnston and three members of his family, John Marks, Tom Grossman, Gordon Caplan, Abe Palmer, Sid Lithwick and his two daughters, President Vince Calzonetti and Bill Navan; 108 Christmas dinners were served at the seniors Donald Street residence. 62 Senior Citizens attend the Children’s Family Party at the Chateau Laurier. A marque tent was provided and refreshments served to the Senior Citizens at the Carp Fair; this was staffed by members of our Committee and Kiwanis Air Cadets. The Club financially supported the Council on Aging in the amount of $9,000; we purchased 60 tickets to the Central School Choir concert for members of the Good Companions Club. Hal Wyman was our liaison with the new Sage Club; they now have 46 members and 4 applications for membership are being processed. So far they provided drivers on an emergency basis for “Meals on Wheels” and for cancer patients - 125 emergency missions performed, 425 man hours of work involved and 1250 people benefited. They raised $828 from the sale of lottery tickets at the Central Canada Exhibition. • Spiritual Aims & International Affairs Committee chaired by Harry Pullen reported that one of their main objectives for this year was to refurbish the Church Directories which we erected some years ago in the lobbies of the Lord Elgin and Chateau Laurier Hotel. This was done at a cost of $500 with a portion of that cost recovered from the two hotels. A new project this year was the purchase and erection of a Church Directory on the Sparks Street Mall at a cost to the Club of $250. We continued to support our Foster Child in Brazil; a Club raffle was held during the year and $81 was realized to be sent to our Foster Child as an additional gift. We continued the practice of holding a church service in the church of our President during Brotherhood Week; this year our members attended Mass at Father Barry McGrory’s Holy Cross Parish and our Music Committee took part in the service - an excellent turnout of members and their families. One of our most rewarding projects this year was the supplying of $1,000 worth of medical equipment and supplies to the Rae Town Clinic in Kingston, Jamaica. The Metropolitan Life Company here in Ottawa added approximately $800 worth of used equipment and supplies from their Head Office’s medical clinic and the entire shipment was forwarded to the Kiwanis Club of Kingston, Jamaica who acted as our agents in arranging for delivery to the Clinic. President Vince Calzonetti made the official presentation to the Salvation Army during his trip to attend the District Convention in that city. • Trust Fund Committee Chairman Sol Max reported that a trust certificate was set up in the Bank of Montreal in the amount of $3,839.24 maturing June 17, 1977, yielding 9 1/2% interest incorporating The Dover Fund $500, The Ken Wynkie Fund $2,000, The Rogers Scriver Fund $424 and The Weir Stewart Fund ($467.50 for Camp Banting only).

142 The amount plus the Allan MacFarlane Fund $1,160.76 was increased by the Board by an amount of $447.74 to total $5,000 in the Trust Fund. TheTrust Fund Committee will, from time to time, promote the idea of “In Memoriam” cards and have prepared suitably engraved cards for this purpose. • TV Auction Committee Chairman Vic Whittaker reported on the 13th Annual Kiwanis TV Auction and stated that this was the most successful Auction ever held by our Club. A plan was conceived whereby the Chairman would sit at the head table for the eight luncheons prior to the actual Auction so the Auction could be adequately promoted and it was felt this paid great dividends.... The fact that Chairman Vic opened the first meeting by shooting off a gun certainly received everyone’s attention. It is recommended by this Committee that we concentrate on securing larger items and to dispense with the purchasing of any major items such as automobiles and trucks as a majority of the TV time is concentrated on these items for an insufficient return. Special thanks, besides to the many Kiwanians who worked so hard to make this a success, goes to the CJOH staff of Bill Swaffield, Leslie Baird, Les Lye, Bill Luxton and ourAuction eers Sol Max and Jack Daly. Revenue - $62,164; Expenses $32,000 - Net Income $32,000. • Ways & Means Committee Chairman Merle Armstrong reported that the $100 a Plate Benefit Dinner was changed this year to $150 a plate with 150 tickets sold and, under the Chairmanship of John Marks was the most successful we ever had with a profit of $12,000 realized; the locale was changed to John’s Sly Fox Restaurant. Although the “Used Suit Sale” was not officially carried out this year, President Vince Calzonetti sold over $900 worth of used suits at the Annual Sparks Street Sidewalk Sale and in his store during the year. These were suits which were left over from the previous year’s sale. A most successful event handled by our Committee was the Official Opening of the new Inn of the Provinces Hotel - a profit of almost $1,800 was realized. • Youth & Citizenship Services Committee Chairman Hans Roloff reported that the Committee distributed assistance as follows: $4,000 to Sister Gertrude’s Camp; $15,000 to assist with repairs to the Ottawa Boys Club summer camp; we organized, in connection with the Kinsmen, a 4-month schedule for pick-up and return paraplegic John Pepin to the hospital; $1,500 to Christie Lake Boys Camp; $7,439 to the Association for Children with Learning Disabilities; $500 to Union Mission for Men; $1,502 to Ottawa Board of Education Choir; $500 to miscellaneous projects. • 60th Anniversary Committee Chairman Sol Max was appointed to head up a Committee to prepare for the 60th Anniversary of our Club which would span the calendar year of 1977. Highlights touched were as follows: 1) The anniversary year to commence January 1st, 1977; 2) May 6th designated as a major evening banquet celebration with the following possibilities to be considered: A reception at Rideau Hall to preceed the Dinner evening at the Chateau Laurier with the Governor General and Madame Leger as hosts; all 3 leaders of the political parties and the Ottawa Mayor to be present at the Dinner. 3) A new format for the Club Bulletin, roster and stationery was planned and carried out. 4)TheMusic Committee was instructed to come up with a new special 60th Anniversary Welcome Song. 5)Five “special” 60th Anniversary projects were discussed.

144 1976-77 President Hap Nicholds Special Activities

• Camp Banting Committee Chairman Moe Racine reported that Camp Banting was moved from Camp Y to Camp Otterdale because of better facilities and better program at approximately the same cost. 47 campers were in attendance; of these 1 camper paid only $10.00, 1 paid $25.00, 1 paid $50.00 and 7 campers were unable to pay any. • In January the Music Committee participated in our 60th Anniversary “Kick-Off” meeting with a contest among our members in search of a new Welcome Song.

For sixty year’s we’ve met this way, Honoured by friends like you today. And we’ll write in our book,“Come Back Again” And meet with us some other time Club Activities

• Agriculture, Conservation & Environment Committee Chairman Ian Kirkconnell reported that the 4-H Club of Shawville were the successful winners of the Kiwanis Club of Ottawa Trophy awarded for the finest calf entry at the Ottawa Winter Fair. This trophy was first presented in 1935 and is the oldest trophy at the Fair. We endeavoured to develop more interest among District Key Clubs in the Ken Wynkie Memorial Environmental Trophy but no entries were received; it is suggested that it be made available for one more year and, if no interest is shown, then it should be withdrawn from competition. 232 people were in attendance at the Carp Pancake Supper; Sol Max and the Music Committee provided the entertainment. The Kiwanis Country Soiree was again held at the farm of Charlie and Ruth Roney and was another success. We operated the Story Book Farm again this year at the Carp Fair; members of the Committee supervised the exhibits and sold dairy products, a new innovation this year. We presented a silver tray trophy to the premier beef cattle exhibitor, Mr. Ralph Miller. We approved $1,000 to assist the Carp Agricultural Society in the construction of a building which would allow the Story Book Farm to have a permanent location. • Air Cadets Committeee Chaired by George Wolf, Jr. and he was pleased to advise that the Cadet strength peaked at 80 cadets; we operated a flying and gliding program on weekends and had 3 licensed cadet power pilots and 3 licensed cadet glider pilots. During the year we managed to fly all of the squadron cadets at least twice and some 3 times. The squadron had a Broomball team which competed each Saturday in the Ottawa District Air Cadet Broomball League - our team reached the finals but lost the championship by one goal. There were 2 squadron teams (8 cadets to a team)entered in the Dominion of Canada Air Rifle Competition and these teams stood 3rd and 5th in Canada. A number of our cadets belong to the Ottawa District 6 Air Cadet Pipe Band which performed at our Annual Inspection.

145 40 cadets graduated and received their St. John’s Ambulance certificates and badges. 211 Squadron hosted an annual Bonspiel for the Castledine Trophy with 80 cadets from the 7 area squadrons taking part. Our squadron won the trophy.

Loeb Ltd. who provided $150 for snacks for the children, to Pure Spring for $150 worth of diet drinks and to Bill Crosby for supplying an excellent meal on Camp Banting night - at a very reduced cost. Over 100 Kiwanians, their family and friends attended Camp Banting Night. Our Committee met with the Harrisons, owners of Camp Otterdale and they felt that the integration of Camp Banting and Camp Otterdale did not work well and they requested that we make plans to hold Camp Banting at another location next year. Our Committee has already investigated an alternative camp site. • Education & Attendance Committee Chairman John Miller reported that Club attendance was 70.1% - 2.7% over last year. April was designated as Memberaction Month - the winning team was captained by Ted Small and they enjoyed a free luncheon with wine for their fine effort - Club attendance for that month was 75.6%. Two new members were inducted by Tom Johnstone and John Rook-Green. The Legion of Honour and Hall of Fame responsibilities were turned over to the Past Presidents Council; they inducted 10 members into the Legion of Honour and 3 members were recommended for the Hall of Fame. The New Members Luncheon depicted the first meeting held by our Club in 1917 - thanks to Kent Wilkinson for his helpful direction. • Inter Club, Sports & Social Committee Chairman Jim Anderson reported that their goal was to have 60 Inter Clubs during the year to coincide with our Sixtieth Anniversary Year.

The Divisional Curling Bonspiel was won by the Ottawa rink which included Gerry Davis, Graham Scott, Jack Stewart and Jim Anderson. The Winter Weekend was again held at Chateau Montebello, organized by Stan and Doreen Greenwood and was another great success. • Key Club/Circle K Committee was led by Bruce Killen. Fisher Park Key Club celebrated its 25th Anniversary this year and was extremely active, exhibiting its continued strength through high attendance and large membership - thanks to the enthusiastic support of the student Advisor, Mr. Sid Katz. The Glebe Key Club entered its second year of existence with increased membership. The District Key Club Convention was held in Ottawa at the Holiday Inn and was considered a great success. Participation by the Fisher Park and Glebe Clubs was particularly high and Fisher Park had the distinction of having one of its members head the Convention Committee. The Committee endeavoured to find and assist students at Carleton University set up a Circle K Club but we were unsuccessful in finding a student Advisor or in acquiring sufficient student numbers to apply for a charter prior to the termination of the academic year - something for next year’s committee to do. • Music Committee Chairman Con Stoltz advised that the 60th Anniversary Year provided the Music Committee with great opportunities to express its many and varied talents. In October the Committee paid a tribute to out-going President Vince Calzonetti, to guest speaker G. Hamilton Southam on the occasion of his retirement as Director of the National Arts Centre and that same day brought news in music and verse on the arrival of twin boys to Kiwanian Tom and Judy Beveridge.

146 In November “Seventy Six Trombones” heralded the tribute to Governor Ken Smith during his official visit to Divisions 12 and 13. In December our regular Grey Cup Meeting welcomed with humour Ottawa Rough Rider owner David Loeb and General Manager Frank Clair; we honoured Mr. Joe Ciavaglia, Banquet Manager of the Chateau Laurier who was retiring after serving our Club as Banquet Manager for 42 out of our 60 years we have been meeting here. Our Club’s Annual Family Party saw Sol’s production of “Cinderella” receive deserved accolades and the standing ovation it deserved. The Music Committee welcomed on January 18th the addition of a son to Kiwanian Brian and Lucy McCoy. This was also the birthday of President Harry Brown who was upstaged by Sol Max who presented a hilarious production in tribute to our bachelor President with the able assistance of Liane Marshall Black, Kent Wilkinson and the entire Music Committee. In March we assisted with the B’nai Brith’s honouring of our own Bill Sparks as “Citizen of the Year”, we introduced this year’s Theme “Safeguard Against Crime” with a parody by such characters as Allison Walsh, Charlie Roney, Lon Campbell, Don Blakslee and Al Celotto as outstanding crime fighters???? In April Tom Grossman and his bride Marlene were surprised by the Music Committee when they received our best wishes on the occasion of their forthcoming marriage. We participated in the Kiwanis Club of Cornwall’s 50th Anniversary, held a tribute and farewell to Don Waugh and Dorothy who are transferred to Toronto, to Theo Naida, one of our Chateau waiters who has been serving us for more than 50 years, to Doug and Joyce Holmes who moved to the USA and to Hans Roloff and Mary who moved away. In August maestro Sol came up with an outstanding presentation to the E.C. & C. Convention held in Ottawa and in September they announced the addition of a son to Howie and Carol Lithwick. Altogether the Music Committee performed in excess of 25 times during the 60th Anniversary year. • Membership Development Committee Chairman Gary Armstrong reported that 24 new members joined our Club but an equal number were lost through death, transfer and resignation. We mourned the passing of Arnie Owens, the Very Reverend Jock Logan-Vencta and Jim Saunders. Again we ended the year with 200 members. • Program Committee chaired by Paul Goyette reported that some of the highlight programs included a speech by Joe Davidson, President of the Canadian Union of Postal Workers, by Bill Hawkins, Vice President of the Ford Motor Company, Walter Tilden speaking on the “Airport Hassle”, the Hon.

The “Carrier of the Year” trophy was again presented to the 3 youngsters representing the Ottawa Citizen, the Journal and Le Droit. An attempt is underway to obtain scrap lumber that could be used to make miniature buildings for the Westboro Kiwanis Children’s Village. Our Committee arranged for a debate at the October luncheon on the issue of the Ottawa Board of Control. Plans are that a vote will be held among members to determine if they wish Club representation to be made to the Provincial government on the issue of holding a plebiscite before abolition of the Board of Control. 147 • Senior Citizens Committee Chairman Orv Boville reported that Norm Torontow was the organizer for this year’s Seniors Citizens Christmas Dinner at the Donald Street residence when over 100 meals were served by many Kiwanians, their family and friends, followed by music provided by Sol Max and Bill Navan. Doug Legere arranged for 38 seniors to attend our Annual Family Party and he was in charge of our activities at the Carp Fair where a marque tent was provided for the seniors providing them the opportunity of viewing the various events in relative comfort. Refreshments were served to over 400 people this year. While no financial assistance was provided this year, Lorne Smith and your Chairman continued to serve on the Board of the Council on Aging. We purchased 18 season tickets for a particular monthly concert and provided them to Senior Citizens, including transportation provided by some of our members. We obtained a used piano for the Geriatric Ward of the Queensway Carleton Hospital. • Spiritual Aims & International Affairs Committee Chairman John Rook-Green reported that the Korean Ambassador and members of his staff were with us to celebrate Korea Day - we are now twinned with the Kiwanis Club of Sacheon, Korea and, as a result, will exchange bulletins, correspondence and ideas. A $200 Organ Bursary was presented by Arnt Loa, on behalf of our Club, to the winning student in the Ottawa Music Festival. Letters were written to the principal Kiwanis Club in each country inviting their members to visit us whenever they are in Canada. Our Club continues to sponsor a Foster Child in Brazil. • Trust Fund Committee Chairman Sol Max advised that it was not necessary to hold any meetings during the past year; following is the status of the Fund at the present time: A trust certificate was set up in the Bank of Montreal in the amount of $3,839.24 which matured June 17, 1977 and was renewed yielding 6 3/4% interest. This amount plus the Allan MacFarlane Fund of $1,160.76 was increased by the Board by an amount of $447.74 to total $5,000. The Trust Fund continued to encourage our members to make contributions in the form of “In Memoriams”. • TV Auction Committee Chairman Art Moody was pleased to advise that we ended up with 314 items for the Auction. Reg Hobson was helpful in having his newspaper, the Ottawa Citizen, develop a 20 page supplement in their paper commemorating the 60th Anniversary of our Club and incorporating the TV Auction and list of donor items without cost to us. We were able to sell T Shirts at $100 per hour carrying the names of businesses, and worn by bid board personnel during the Auction. We realized considerable income from this source. We realized 60% net profit in theAuction this year; we would recommend that no items under $150 be accepted in the future, as on the present Auction, over one-third of the items were between $100 and $150 and they only realized $11,000 gross. No additional secretarial help was used this year and no items were purchased as in previous years. Revenue - Advertising time (T. Shirts) $2,600; Donations $1,100 - TOTAL $62,310. Expense - Cost of merchandise $227; Production Costs $8,250; Advertising (T Shirts) $110; Stationery, Office Expenses $870; Kiwanis Club Administration $7,500 TOTAL $16,957.

A Fashion Show put on by Lionel’s Men’s Wear at one of our Friday luncheons netted the Club $430. Several weekly raffles were held during the year and each brought in approximately $100

148 This Committee spent many hours reviewing proposals and ideas to raise funds for the Club; most were turned down but one, in particular, which we delved into in great detail, was not accepted by the Board although we felt it had great merit. This involved a “Trip of the Month” promotion which has been a proven success with many Clubs throughout Canada and the United States. We can only hope that this might be reconsidered in the future. The Benefit Dinner was at $150 a plate and held at the Alta Vista Synagogue chaired by Johnny Marks. It netted approximately $12,000 - the highest amount yet for such an event. • Youth and Citizenship Services Committee Chairman Dave Thelen reported that the Committee distributed $42,500 during the year including $1,500 to Christie Lake Boys Camp, $1,020 to the Union Mission for Men for emergency electrical work, $1,000 to Sister Gertrude’s Camp at Val Des Bois, one electric and one regular wheelchair for patients at St. Vincent’s Hospital and $25,000 to the Boys & Girls Club ($100,000 was approved over a period of 10 years). • 60th Anniversary Committee Chairman Sol Max was pleased to report that 1)an Entrance Sign at the entrance of the hall on our meeting days proclaimed a welcome to our 60th year. 2) A banner the width of the Head Table carried out this theme at every meeting. 3) A contest provided great interest and winner Lorne Smith wrote the chosen special Anniversary Year Welcome Song. 4) The Weekly Bulletin was specially designed with the Anniversary theme “hammered” out continuously. 5) A reception was tendered by the Chateau Laurier followed by our 60th Anniversary dinner & dance. 6) The Charter Night with International President Maurice Gladman and wife Rosabella as guests was highlighted by a special musical number, the lyrics specially composed and dedicated to this year’s Kiwanis theme “Reach Out and Touch a Neighbour’s Hand”. 7) The President’s visit was highlighted by appointments with Governor General Jules Leger, Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau, Mayor Lorry Greenberg and RCMP Deputy Commissioner Beirsdoffer. A sub-committee was set up, under the Chairmanship of Dick Crawley and made up of Chummy Watt, Lyle Blackwell and Fred Price to read, catalogue and put in order the Club’s archives. Many hours were spent going over every bit of information stored in the Kiwanis Office. We are proud of the job these men did & any information on our past 60 years is now at our fingertips.

• Agriculture, Conservation & Environment Committee Chairman Ted Small reported that the Committee responded to a request by the Carp Agricultural Society to assist in the cost of a building which would house the ”STORY BOOK FARM”, a project of the Kiwanis Club of Ottawa. We donated $5,000 towards this permanent 30 x 60 building, steel clad with cement floor costing $25,000 and was in place in time to house the animal exhibit planned for this year’s fair. • Inter-Club, Sports & Social Committee Chairman Tom Spence reported that it was a great year for Interclubbing! We had a total of 120 Interclubs which is a District Record and, from what we can find out, an International Record. We visited every Club in Division 12 and most in Division 13 and 24 members flew to Rochester, N.Y. during Canada-U.S. Goodwill Week for a special Interclub. Special note: Tom Spence, a new member who joined our Club last year took on this fabulous project and phoned every member more than once to ask them to Inter-Club, offered to pick them up and drive them to a luncheon, anything it took to get members out. Club Activities

• Agriculture, Conservation & Environment Committee Chairman Ted Small reported that the winners of the Kiwanis trophy at the Ottawa Winter Fair was the Lanark County 4-H Club. The Ken Wynkie Memorial Trophy has been transferred to the Key Club Committee. The Carp Pancake Supper drew an amazing crowd of over 300 persons. Guest speaker was the Hon. Eugene Whelan, Federal Minister of Agriculture when the Carp Fair was granted “Class A Fair” status. Again this year the Country Soiree was held at the lovely country home of Charlie and Ruth Roney with an excellent turnout. Our Committee members attended to supervise exhibits, sell dairy products and man the Senior Citizens Tent serving coffee and donuts at no charge to the Senior Citizens who drop in. This project will be taken over by the Senior Citizens Committee in 1979. Alan and Marge Castledine again entertained the Committee at their summer residence, Jim Plant and Ian McDonald provided a setting for a good meeting - a float boat tour of the Ottawa River prior to a meeting at Jim’s cottage and Charlie Roney, Ross Hadwen, Greg Field, Brian Gilman, John Cole, Ian Kirkconnell and Ted Small hosted Committee meetings at some time during the year. • Air Cadets Committeee Chairman Lou Ullrich reported that the cadet strength was maintained at about 75 cadets throughout the year. There are 30 N.C.O.s in the Squadron. Extra activities this year included competition rifle shooting, model airplane building and sports. In addition each cadet received at least 2 hour flying time and a number of cadets participated in the gliding program on the week-ends. The squadron’s rifle team excelled in every competition it competed in, winning every one in the Ottawa area plus the all-Ontario competition for all cadets (Army, Navy and Air). They placed 2nd in all of Canada and topped it off by winning the Newcombe Cup for Youth of the Commonwealth Competition. This is the first time this Cup has been won by a cadet unit outside of England. In all, the cadets won 14 gold, 14 silver, 7 bronze medals and 6 marksman badges. They won the Broomball Championship, was over-all winner of the Sports Day for all area Squadrons and were awarded the Dollard Gratton Memorial Trophy for sports proficiency. During the year the Cadets enjoyed a luncheon with the Kiwanis Club at which Vic Castledine, the first C/O was honoured and they enjoyed a 3 day out-of-town trip to the Niagara Falls area.

151 At the end of the training year in May the Squadron suffered a set-back when the steel lockers at Highland Park High School were forcibly entered and all 10 rifles were stolen, including the two new competition rifles purchased during the year. The other 8 rifles were on loan from the D.C.R.A. • Camp Banting Committee Chairman Moe Racine was pleased to report that the 1978 camp was a huge success with a full camp of 50 youngsters; because last year’s Camp Otterdale was no longer available, we rented Camp Echon at Fitzroy Harbour and were very pleased with the facilities and feel that we have found a permanent home for Camp Banting. We are grateful to M. Loeb Ltd., The Dominion, Steinbergs, Loblaws and Morrison-Lamothe who provided food vouchers for our camp snacks. Kiwanis night was another success and our thanks go to Bill Crosby for supplying an excellent meal. • Education & Attendance and Host & Health Committee Chairman Kent Wilkinson reported that the Committee revived an old theme in “Attendance Reminder Cards” which were distributed to poor attenders who had missed 2 or more consecutive meetings. 8 mail-outs to 131 members appeared to achieve the desired effect as our attendance records indicated. We held 3 Roll Calls and had 3 various forms of a forced seating arrangement at our Friday luncheons which proved both humourous and beneficial. During the year our Club Roster, Telephone Cards and Badges were updated several times courtesy of Don Williams. Committee members personally visited or called ailing Kiwanians during the course of the year. Memberaction Month was again held in February under Frank Astley’s supervision. Our attendance (85.6%) was the highest on recent record and much is thanks to great interclubbing and make-ups – organized by Tom Spence. Steak and wine for the winning team was headed by Past President Harry Brown. New Members Day under the direction of Ron Gravelle was fast moving and entertaining. Thanks to Barry Weatherdon and Angus McMorran who compiled the Club’s attendance records during the year. • Inter-Club, Sports & Social Committee Chairman Tom Spence reported that the District Curling Bonspiel was hosted by our Club this year and 48 curlers attended. The Winter Weekend at Mont Ste Marie was attended by 36 Kiwanians and friends. A Rideau Lakes Boat Tour from Portland was a great success with 57 people in attendance. The Round Robin Cocktail Party was well attended by 130 people and our hosts were Peter and Susan Burgess, Dave and Bonnie Thelen and Vic Whittaker. 28 members took part in the annual Golf Tournament which was held at the Rideauview Golf Club in Manotick. Winners of the Club trophies: Club Championship, The Vic Castledine Trophy - Art Conrad; Low Net - the George Wolf Trophy - Mac Mclean; Low Gross over 18 handicap - the Two Macs Trophy - Howard Pope. • Key Club & Circle K Committee Chairman John Shane reported that the highlight of the year was the formation of a Circle K at Carleton University. Both of our Key Clubs at Fisher Park and Glebe were very active during the year and the membership at Glebe has increased to 35; Fisher Park did experience some loss in membership; however, this trend was reversed when a new President was elected in mid-term. The Ken Wynkie Environmental Award which was turned over to this Committee was renamed the Ken Wynkie District Administrators Award and will be presented annually to the outstanding Key Clubber in the E.C.& C. District, along with a cheque in the amount of $200. The strength of our Key Clubs at Fisher and Glebe is due to the strong support provided by the Faculty Advisors Syd Katz and Weldon Klyman.

152 Strong support was also received from Tony Pelosse and Brian McGarry who are the E.C.& C. Administrators for Key Club and Circle K respectively. Thanks is also given to Leo McCarthy who was very active in arranging visits to Key Club and Circle K meetings and to Sam Shantz and Harry Binks who were instrumental in the creation of our new Circle K at Carleton. • Membership Development Committee Chairman Reid Wilson reported that the Committee sent a letter to all members recommending that each consider submitting information sheets from among their friends and acquaintances who would make suitable members for Kiwanis; later we split the roster among Committee members and conducted a telephone follow-up of all members of our Club. New Members’ Day was a riot with Alan Smith and Mike Lundy dressing up as a horse with Alan taking the front part and Mike.... well, you know the rest! During the year 36 new members were inducted; we lost 20 to death and resignation; we started the year with 196 members and ended with 213. • Music Committee Chairman Norm Torontow was pleased that the Committee got off in fine style and voice on the occasion of our 60th Anniversary Charter Night and the visit of International President Maurice Gladman; as always an excellent script was provided by Sol Max. Orv Boville played the role of Maurice Gladman very well and many-talented Phil Johnston played the role of Mrs. Gladman. Our Music Committee outdid themselves in putting on “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs” for our Annual Family Party. The irrepressible Phil Johnston was, of course, the charming Snow White and Jim Durrell the Prince. The Seven Dwarfs were Con Stoltz, Orv Boville, Howie Lithwick, Reg Hobson, Tom Lamothe, Reid Wilson as Grumpy (who else) and Norm Torontow. The Music Committee sang out on the forthcoming marriage of Allan Lamb and Mary Ann Doyle. Jim Waterton as Allan and Con Stoltz as Mary Ann was the highlight of the performance. We did a musical farewell to Phil Johnston who was transferred by his firm to Toronto and our Music Committee performed for the Kiwanis Club of Montreal on their 60th Anniversary. 43 Kiwanians and their ladies from Ottawa travelled to Montreal by bus; as always, Maestro Sol Max led a great performance. We put on a “Commercial” for the Metropolitan Life Insurance Co. to mark their move to their new building and saluted the retirement of Lorne Smith from the Met. • Program Committee Chairman Len Levencrown reported that these were some of the highlight programs throughout the year: spoke on the “Energy Crisis and How it Affects Canada”; Lady Johnston, wife of the British High Commissioner to Canada spoke on “Earnscliffe”; ChineseAuction ; Two teams from the University of Ottawa debating society debated the subject “Resolved that the Inevitable Conclusion to the Unity Crisis is the Separation of Quebec”; Gary B. Clark Ex. Pres. of Mont Ste Marie spoke on “Mont Ste Marie - the Resort of the Future”; Hon. Barney Dansen spoke on “Katimavik”; Salvation Army Day with Ontario Premier as speaker; Dr. Robert McKendry spoke on “What is Arthritis?”. • Public Affairs/Unity Canada Committee Chairman John Rook-Green reported that the “Unity Canada” portion of our Committee was a new project started this year. Our Club purchased the Canadian Unity symbol for our Postage Meter; the Kiwanis Foundation of Canada has published a scroll showing “I’m Proud to be a Kiwanian”. We purchased a few dozen of these and they were available to our members for use in their homes or office. Special literature published by the Federal Government for Canada Week was displayed at our July 7th luncheon meeting. Public Affairs - we did not conduct the annual Rough Rider Blood Donor Clinic this year since we felt it had been replaced by the Kiwanis Blood Donor Contest held between all Kiwanis Clubs in our Division.

153 5 Electric engravers were obtained from our Club members in the insurance business and loaned to our members for marking their valuables. We have also obtained decals from the Police Department showing that a home is protected by having the contents engraved. Our thanks to Alan Smith for organizing this project. After many meetings with other Clubs in our area with the idea of purchasing a “Crime Prevention Van” for the community, we approved $10,500, received $10,500 from the Rideau Kiwanis Club and $1,000 from the Carlingwood Kiwanis Club to purchase this “Show on Wheels” which will be used throughout the community - it was unveiled in front of the Ottawa Police Station in July. • Spiritual Aims and International Affairs Committee Chairman Fred Price reported that, working in collaboration with the Kiwanis Club of Georgetown, Guyana, and with the assistance of our own Harry Pullen, we purchased medical equipment to aid health care of the Amerindians of Guyana; Frank Astley arranged purchase of the equipment and Doug Legere handled the transport by air. Total cost $1,000. We continue to sponsor an 8-year old boy in Brazil and to supply $200 to the bursary for the winning organist at the Ottawa Music Festival. Our Annual Church Service was led by Gervis Black at Parkdale United Church. Plans are being made for Directories of central churches and synagogues to be installed at the Skyline and Holiday Inn Hotels to bring this information to visitors to the city. We manned the Salvation Army Kettles on the Sparks Street Mall again this year on another cold day. • TV Auction Committee Chairman Chuck Anderson reported that the Auction came through with another record year and produced 334 items for the 15th Annual Auction. Total revenue amounted to $75,247 and this represented 69% of the retail value of the merchandise; donations received were $1,650; direct expenses amounted to $13,225 with a net income (before administrative expense allocation) of $62,672 - an increase over the previous year of approximately $10,000 after providing for increased 1978 TV production costs of $4,250. Bill Shenkman kindly donated storage space for the merchandise. The minimum dollar value for merchandise was maintained at $150; the large number of items presented a problem and it appears that approx. 300 items is ideal for the time space allotted for the Auction. • Ways & Means Committee Chairman Bill O’Neill reported that the Benefit Dinner netted the Club $11,500; we worked with the Air Cadet Committee to sponsor an evening at the Ottawa Little Theatre where $1,000 was raised for the Air Cadet works. We sold car decals at Friday luncheons but only $50 was realized. Approximately $400 was raised from the sale of Hallowe’en Shell-Out candies and two Club raffles were held during the year bringing in a profit of $136. • Youth & Citizenship Committee Chairman Barry Nicholds reported that the Committee was very busy this year.

• Air Cadets Committee Chairman Lou Ullrich reported that our Squadron had a very successful year under the leadership of Major Dean Broadfoot. The Cadet strength was maintained at 75 cadets for most of the year and the average attendance was an outstanding 96%. Each cadet received at least 2 hours flying time and a number of the cadets participated in the gliding program; they also assisted in two fund raising events during the year. • Senior Citizens Committee provided the Council on Aging with $5,000 to start a pilot project called “Wheels to Meals” program where the elderly could be transported to a central point where hot meals could be served to them once a week; it would be an outing for them, provide them with a nutritious meal and some recreation & diversion. Once fully operational, this program will be financed by the Provincial and Regional Governments. It is hoped that another local Kiwanis Club will provide the other $5,000 needed to complete this pilot project. Club Activities

• Agriculture, Conservation & Environment Committee Chairman Greg Field felt that his Committee was very active this year. The main projects were: Ottawa Winter Fair Trophy presented to 4-H Club of Pontiac County; 300 people attended the Carp Pancake Supper with Brooke McNab of C.J.O.H. as guest speaker and the Ottawa Police Folk Country Group entertaining. We Interclubbed with the Rochester, N.Y. Club and Ted Small and John Shane hosted the Hospitality Room at the Holiday Inn which was attended by members from both Clubs. The attendance at the Carp Fair was the largest on record with continuous activity in the Story Book Farm Building. The Key Club and Circle K members provided 21 freshly painted and Kiwanis stencilled trash barrels for the Fair grounds. The Kiwanis silver tray trophy for the best beef exhibitor was presented to the Manotick Angus Farms. • Air Cadets Committeee Chairman Lou Ullrich reported that the Squadron had another good year in the various sports competitions placing either first or second in the various events. The rifle team again excelled in every competition it competed in, again winning every one they entered in the Ottawa area plus the all-Ontario competition for all cadets (Army,Navy & Air Force) and represented Ontario in the National competition for all of Canada; they won the National and the Air Cadet League of Canada Silver Tray. A total of 15 cadets won various scholarships which included two flying and two gliding scholarships; in addition 13 cadets attended the two week basic camp at St. Hubert, Que. We hosted members of No. 41 Squadron from Regina for a week and in turn enjoyed a week-long trip to Regina. This trip was made possible by a grant from the Secretary of State Department of $12,000. Our Squadron’s First Commanding Officer Vic Castledine presented their Squadron Banner at the Air Cadets Ceremonial Parade. • Education & Attendance, Host & Health Committee Chairman John Shane said that his Committee devoted a considerable amount of time during the year in attempting to improve the attendance of the membership at our weekly meetings. As a result, 43 members had a year of perfect attendance compared to 31 members last year. Members with extremely poor attendance were removed from the roster. Past President Hap Nicholds provided a slide presentation to the new members at a New Members Reception showing a cross-section of Club activities.

156 New Members’ April Fool’s luncheon under the direction of Don Keyes showed that our new members are very talented. Memberaction Month, under the supervision of Frank Astley was held in April and Team #2 was our winner and were treated to a free Kiwanis luncheon. Our Committee took an active part in the preparation of the new “Facts About The Kiwanis Club of Ottawa” booklet which was distributed to our members. Alex Barret made the necessary arrangements for weekly Greeters and Guest Book and Angus McMorran and Barry Weatherdon maintained the Club’s attendance records. • Interclub, Sports & Social Committee Chairman John Law reported that our Club entered two teams in the Inter-District Curling Bonspiel and skip Jim Anderson and his rink placed third. Our annual Golf Day was held at Rideau View Golf Club with 24 Kiwanians and guests enjoying golf and dinner. Winners were: Club Championship Vic Castledine Trophy - John Law; Low Net George Wolf Trophy - Art Conrad; Low Gross Handicap 18 or over - Two Macs Trophy - Bill Wilburn. The Winter Weekend was held in February and inclement weather did not deter 44 Kiwanians, wives and children from downhill or cross-country skiing, or just relaxing and enjoying themselves. Both the Boat Cruise and the Round Robin had to be postponed due to lack of participation. This year we organized a “Night at the Races” and 69 Kiwanians and wives enjoyed the evening at Rideau Carleton Raceway. The eighth race was named after our Club and President Alan Smith presented a memento to the winner of the “Kiwanis Club of Ottawa Trot”. This was another great year for interclubbing. In May we hosted 16 visiting Kiwanians and wives from Rochester, N.Y. 75% of our members participated in 104 Interclubs; we visited most Clubs in Divisions 12 and 13 and joined the Plattsburg Club to help them celebrate their 50th Anniversary. • Key Club and Circle K Committee Chairman Harry Binks was pleased that a training conference was held at President Allan Lamb’s home which was well attended by the executives of all four youth Clubs - an excellent way to train the executives of our sponsored youth and give them a head start. Glebe and Fisher Park Key Clubs are a going concern. Two members of Fisher Park attended the Key Club International Convention in Washington. The Ottawa Technical High School Key Club will be chartered in mid-November. Carleton University Circle K has had an outstanding year. They held a skateathon, a bowlathon, parties for kids at CHEO and have taken senior citizens to hockey games and fixed up the Corde House for the handicapped. A visit to Government House to meet with the Governor General was followed by the very successful luncheon and the EC&C District Convention in Cornwall. Carleton won the George Spall Award for best reporting Club. Our Kiwanis Club won the Kiwanis District Award called the Varsity award for our sponsorship of this outstanding Club. 3 members attended the International Convention in Chicago. • Major Emphasis Committee Chairman Wayne Thorpe reported that our major emphasis program for 1978-79 was “Rightstart - The Formative Years”. The primary goal of the program was to become involved with children in their young “growing up” years. In order to either develop or sponsor a new project involving children, a sub-committee was set up consisting of Bill O’Neill as Chairman, Wayne Thorpe, Lorne Smith, Elmore Tufts and Len Levencrown with the Honorable Mr. Justice Abe Lieff as Honorary Chairman. They met with Mayor and Bill Zimmerman, Executive Director of Social Planning for Ottawa-Carleton and as a result Kiwanis was asked to be a catalyst to bring the various volunteer, medical and educations groups together. As this group was formed late in the Club year, we wish the incoming Committee every success.

157 • Membership Development Committee Chairman Sid Lithwick reported that membership at the beginning of the Club year was 213 and 216 at the end with 25 new members being welcomed and 22 members resigning. The Club mourned the passing of The Rt. Hon. John Diefenbaker and Cecil Morrison. • Music Committee Chairman Harry Brown was proud that the Music Committee was involved in 20 different presentations throughout the year - 3 for the arrival of babies to the families of Barry & Marilyn Weatherdon, Bob & Jennifer Bradley and Bonnie & Larry Nelms; 2 tributes on the occasions of marriage of Drew Huffman and of Kent Wilkinson; a farewell to Sam Shantz on his move to Kitchener; recognition of Kent Wilkinson’s takeover of G.L. Myles store and a special “all Club member” involvement on a trip to England for Bill and Joyce Navan. One of the most rewarding occasions was our visit to Plattsburg to help them celebrate their 50th Anniversary. Some members and wives who drove were provided overnight accommodation, the remaining 27 members flew by chartered Bradley Air Services DC 3. The 45 minute presentation outlined the history of the Plattsburgh Club and of Kiwanis International - a fitting tribute to a packed house of Kiwanians from all over the area. Things don’t just happen with theMusic Committee! At varying times throughout the year, more than 50 of the Club’s membership were involved in one way or another supporting the Committee’s activities. Speakers such as Claude Ryan, Maureen Forrester and the visit of the Rochester Club members to Ottawa bring out the creative talents of our devoted Music Director Sol Max who was singled out for special honour by the Club’s Past Presidents in the form of an engraved Hall of Fame plaque, coupled with arrangements for a portrait by Karsh. • Program and Publicity Committee Chairman Reid Wilson reported that some of the highlight programs were: Two mayoralty candidates Marion Dewar and Pat Nicol; Family Party presentation of “Allan’s Little Lamb”; Kesley Merry, Director of Intelligence Services at the Toronto Stock Exchange; discussed “Canadian Identity”; our own Reg Hobson told us of “Those Were the Days” reminiscing about the last 50 years in Ottawa; Max Keeping, News Director of CJOH Television told us of the “Seal Hunt in Canada”; Salvation Army’s Annual Meeting with Malcolm Muggridge as speaker; Jack Donoghue, Coach of Canada’s National Basketball Team; Hon. Hon. Mitchell Sharp spoke about the Northern Pipeline and we heard “Storytelling” by 5 Club members. • Senior Citizens Committee Chairman Dave Thelen advised that the following projects were undertaken by the Committee: $500 for the Christmas Dinner at the Donald Street Senior Citizens Apartments; purchased 25 tickets for Senior Citizens to attend the Gilbert & Sullivan Play of the Savoy Society; supplied tickets and drove seniors from area lodges to attend the Symphony Series at the National Arts Centre; provided the tent, chairs, coffee, cookies and donuts for seniors attending the Carp Fair and donated $400 in support of the Senior Citizens Council’s Festival Month. • Spiritual Aims & International Affairs Committee Chairman Wilf Parry reported that we continued sponsorship of a child in Brazil through the Foster Parents Plan as well contributing to the support of two children in Pakistan through the Salvation Army. Approximately 150 Kiwanians and their families attended the Annual Church Service at Christ Church Cathedral when President Allan Lamb read the lesson and Rt. Rev. Peter Coffin conducted the service. 24 members manned the Salvation Army Kettles in December and we provided $200 to help support a local girl who is working as a volunteer in India. • Trust Fund Committee - Chairman Sol Max advised that there was no change made to the Fund which holds $5,000 but members are encouraged to contribute by memorial donations, a bequest in our will, a gift of a paid-up life insurance policy or transferring stock to the Fund. All gifts are tax deductible. • TV Auction Committee Chairman Moe Racine reported that 340 items were Auctioned off. For the first time the items were pre-filmed by Ray Tomblin instead of presenting them live at the Auction.

158 In past years 12 items were placed on a table, rolled into the studio and shown from there; then the table was rolled back behind the studio and another table rolled in to be shown. Items were then placed in their boxes for delivery to the customer - however radio, tv cords, item parts etc. were at times left out of the boxes which, as you can imagine, caused much trouble when picked up by the customer. Pre-filming in the storage area a week or so prior to the Auction ended this problem. Items were placed on slides and these were shown throughout the Auction day. This year bids were only accepted in increments of $5.00; this made theAuction run more smoothly. It is recommended that not more than 300 items be accepted as there is just not enough time to sell more than 300 in 6 hours and it is important that we not accept conditional credit notes - these cause too many problems in redeeming them. A thank you again to Bill Shenkman who donated storage space throughout the year, to TV Producer Bill Swaffield and his staff who handled theAuction professionally and to Merle Armstrong who handled the deliveries and Tom Grossman who provided the containers and the men to handle the pick-ups. The K-L ladies assisted by Alex Dayton again looked after our food requirements and our thanks to Frank Lambros of Peter’s Pantry who supplied the main course. Financial Report - Sales $62,338; Cost of merchandise $337; TV Production and Advertising $8,250; Stationery, printing, wages and other $2,598; Administration expenses allocated to the General Fund $7,500.

• 83 Inter-Clubs were held - we visited most Clubs in Divisions 12 and 13. • Medical Foundation Sub-Committee Chairman John Law was very pleased to report that on February 27th, 1980, Chuck Anderson brought forth a proposal to the Board of Directors on behalf of Dr. Lorne MacLachlan, a retired dentist. It was Dr. MacLachlan’s wish to provide funds to be used in the field of medicine; Chuck described the use and purpose of a Medical Foundation registered with Revenue Canada, as a non-profit charitable organization and suggested that our Club create the Kiwanis Club of Ottawa Medical Foundation and for every dollar our Club raised, Dr. MacLachlan was prepared to donate $4.00 to a maximum of $100,000. By May 23rd, 1980 the Club raised $7,869 and Dr. MacLachlan presented his cheque in the amount of $32,440 to the Club. Additional contributions have been received after this and as of September 30, 1980 a total of $11,310 has been raised by the Club. Club Activities

• Agriculture, Conservation & Environment Committee Chairman Mike Lundy reported that the Ottawa Winter Fair Trophy was won by Lanark County 4-H Club. The Annual Carp Pancake Supper was another great success - the event sold out and the net profit was $32.00. Guest Speaker was Ed Needham of the CBC Country Report. Van Wight organized the Annual Country Soiree at the lovely home of Charlie and Ruth Roney - net results was a profit of $5.71. We purchased a new 7 cu. foot freezer for the Story Book Farm at the Carp Fair. Brian Gilman organized the manpower for the Story Book Farm project and Charlie Roney supplied the security crew. Many proposed projects for Conservation & Environment were discussed but none accepted this year. These will be passed along to next year’s Committee. • Air Cadets Committeee Chairman Ed Gosse reported that C/O Major Dean Broadfoot retired and was replaced by Captain Tom Iannella. Total strength of the squadron was 57 male and 5 female cadets; this is the first mention of female cadets in the Squadron. 10 scholarships and four staff positions were awarded this year including 3 power, 2 gliding and an exchange trip to the United Kingdom. Our shooting teams won the National Air Cadet Rifle Match and also the National Tri-Service Cadet Air Rifle Match. We flew in both fixed and rotary wing aircrafts as well as familiarization rides in a glider. The Squadron enjoyed a week-long trip to Yellowknife made possible by a grant from the Secretary of State Department. We assisted the Hull Squadron in setting up their supply system and some of our cadets assisted in organizing the new Kanata Squadron. • Camp Banting Committee Chairman Larry Haffner who, along with his family, personally lived at Camp Banting for the two week period this year. • Attendance was down to 47 children but the facilities at Camp Echon are suited to our needs and can accommodate at least 100 campers. The sleeping cabins this year were comparable to the best anywhere. • It is expected that the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario will undertake to provide all medical needs, staff and equipment including doctors, nurses, dietician and supplies through the hospital pharmacy for the 1981 Camp.

161 • Education & Attendance/Host & Health Committee Chairman Don Williams reported that the Host portion was administered by Alex Barrett who provided weekly Greeters & Guest Book persons. The Health portion was handled by Baz McEnery and Attendance by Angus McMorran. Contests and Memberaction Month was handled by Frank Astley and we were pleased to learn that attendance of 75.2% was up over last year. Education under the guidance of Alan Smith and Mark Maloney took on new life. Alan educated new members on their responsibilities and Mark masterminded, researched and organized an entire luncheon programme entitled “6 Decades of Kiwanis” which was well received. • Inter-Club, Sports & Social Committee Chairman Bob Vergette reported that 36 Kiwanians and their families attended a skating party held at Dows Lake Boat House; Carleton Circle K challenged us to a hockey game which was held at the Walkley Arena - we won but the score is not important. The Annual Golf Day was held at Amberwood Golf Course with 38 who played golf and 43 stayed for dinner - thanks to Jack Johannsen. Club Championship, Vic Castledine Trophy went to Mike Moore, Low Net, George Wolf Trophy to Joe Forrest and Low Gross Handicap 18 & over - Two Macs Trophy to Gord Thompson. The 10th Annual Winter Ski Weekend was held at Mont Ste Marie with 42 Kiwanians, wives and family in attendance. 46 Kiwanians, family and friends attended a hockey trip to Montreal - Tom Lamothe led us in a great sing- song on the way home. The 2nd Annual Night at the Races was held again at Rideau Carleton Raceway with 42 members, ladies and guests in attendance. The 7th race was named after our Club and President Lorne Smith presented the winning driver with a magnum of champagne. Although we did not hold a Round Robin Cocktail Party last year, one was held this year at Amberwood Village with 146 people in attendance. The three hosts were Bill Wilburn, Charlie Hulse and Jack Johannsen; we ended up at the Amberwood Golf Club for a delicious dinner, followed by music and dancing. 83 Inter-Clubs were held - we visited most Clubs in Divisions 12 and 13. • Key Club & Circle K Committee Committee chaired by Lou Ullrich reported that Glebe Key Club had 25 members and held two blood donor clinics, a successful spaghetti dinner, handled the cloak room for various school activities and were involved with senior citizens and needy children. Ottawa Tech Key Club was formed early in the school year with 20 members and handled the cloakroom for school events when the school auditorium was used, held a blood donor clinic and a chocolate bar sales drive and raised over $300 for their efforts. Fisher Park Key Club was a disappointment as they never really did get off to a good start because of lack of strong leadership. For most of the year they had less than 10 members; they are competing with 25 other Clubs in the school but our own Club member Leo McCarthy and our Committee members will work to possibly put Fisher Park back on its feet. Carleton University Circle K had an extremely successful year with 30 student members and is referred to as the strongest Club in E.C. & C. District. They won many awards at the District Convention held in Longueil, Que. Jeff Gauthier from Carleton won the award for the Best Member in EC&C District and John Wong was elected Lt. Governor. They won the Single Service Award for their work at the Children’s Hospital and the Multiple Service Award for their fund raising events. They worked with the young patients at CHEO, with two Senior Citizens Homes, took retarded children ice skating every Monday evening at the Walkley Arena, held a Bowl-a-Thon, two blood donor clinics, a Skate-a-Thon on the , a sleigh ride for the children at CHEO and joined in the Sports Night with our own Kiwanians and our 211 Air Cadet Squadron. • Major Emphasis Committee Chairman Bill O’Neill reported on the Kiwanis Major Emphasis program “Rightstart - Hand in Hand with Youth” supporting the global “International Year of the Child”.

162 We met with Her Worship, Mayor Marion Dewar who assured us that the Kiwanis Club of Ottawa was needed more than ever to assist in the formation of a Childrens’ Services Committee but she could not elaborate on the structure of the committee. We then attended various workshops on the Childrens’ Services Committee arranged by the Regional Municipality of Ottawa-Carleton and the City of Ottawa. The various provider groups who are concerned with social justice in the area of child/youth care are now meeting to formulate a Childrens’ Services Committee or Council on Youth, that would best serve our community - after spending hundreds of hours working on this project, we are awaiting their decisions and finding out the best way we can serve. • Membership Development Committee Chairman Jim Durrell reported that Club membership at the start of the year stood at 216; 20 new members joined and 18 resigned; Warren Miller and George Wolf Sr. passed away. • Music Committee Chairman Mike Moore reported that this was another busy year for the Committee and Maestro Sol Max and we were fortunate in having at least 25-30 members out for each musical performance. In October we said farewell to Don Fleischer whose job moved him to Toronto, we performed at the dinner sponsored by the Canadian Diabetic Association to honour George Nelms at the Skyline Hotel, we bid a musical farewell to Harry Pullen who left us for White Rock, B.C. and our Family Party was attended by 275 people. Mark Max held something a little different this year where youngsters - children and grand-children of our own members were invited to join in singing songs and performing for us... A nice program but we did miss Sol’s “Extravaganzas”. When Bud Fisher spoke to our Club we welcomed him in song, “Vital Statistics were presented to Rod and Leslie MacLeod on the occasion of the birth of their new son and we serenaded Brian Law, Conductor of the Ottawa Symphony Orchestra. The highlight of our musical year was entertaining for half an hour the more than 300 people in attendance at International President Mark Smith and Lurline Smith to the E.C. & C. Convention. Another “Vital Statistics” for Brian and Lucy McCoy - a boy, Evan Joseph Michael. • Senior Citizens Committee Chairman Tom Johnstone reported that the Committee initiated a program of Seminars on subjects of interest to Senior Citizens to approximately 100 persons meeting for luncheons in Westboro United Church, Westminster Presbyterian Church and All Saints Anglican Church. The subjects covered were Home Security and Home Safety by the Ottawa Police, Nutritian by Doris Gillis of the Ottawa-Carleton Health Unit and Recreation and Use of Leisure by Kiwanian Angus McMorran and Jack McIlveen of Universal Travel Agency. We continued our support of the “Wheels to Meals” program by a donation of $2,500 and we continued to provide tickets and transportation to the National Arts Centre for seniors in three residential homes. The usual arrangements for the tent and refreshments was made for seniors at the Carp Fair. As usual, this committee continues to serve the Christmas dinner to the residents of the Donald Street Senior residence led by the Jewish members of our Club. • Program & Publicity Committee Chairman Reg Hobson reported that the highlight programs included Judge Yvonne Kerr who spoke on the Citizenship Court, Bob Alyea told us about precious gems and brought some along for us to view, Ray Morris, Publisher of the Journal spoke on “The New Morning Journal”, Bud Fisher told us about “Action Ottawa”, Hon. Jean Luc Pepin talked about “The Quebec Referendum”, our own Van Wight spoke to us about “Fiber Optics” and passed some around for us to examine; the University of Ottawa Debating Team debated “Resolved that Proportional Representation in the House of Commons Would be Good for Canada”, our own Vic Whittaker spoke to us about “Real Estate Development and Inflation in Ottawa”; “Counterfeiting Is My Business” by our own Art Moody; Breakfast at the N.A.C. and a tour of the NAC backstage and our own Gordon Gow spoke to us about “The Computer Industry in Ottawa-Carleton”.

163 • Spiritual Aims & International Affairs Committee Chairman Wilf Parry reported that the biggest undertaking was that of receiving, organizing and committing ourselves to the support of a Laotian Refugee family through Project 4000. The work was done through a sub-committee headed by Vice-President Len Levencrown and Lou Ullrich, our direct contact with this family. We provided them with a home, furniture, food, help with schooling for the children and eventually, a job for the father. We provided a Jamaica High School with 16 typewriters to enable them to set up a secretarial training course; our contribution was matched by the Canadian International Development Agency with Kiwanian Gerry Durant devoting many hours to this and pulled the whole project together. For the first time, the response from our membership was sufficient to permit us to man the Salvation Army kettles on the Mall for two (cold) days - a total of 42 Kiwanians “rang those bells”. The spirit of Kiwanis was never more evident than when some 25 members opened their homes to provide bed and breakfast to a group of high school students from Pennsylvania who were touring Eastern Ontario - this was in response to a request from another Kiwanis Club. Our annual church service was held at the First Baptist Church with over 25 Kiwanians and their families in attendance. We continued our support of a child in Brazil and two Pakistani boys through the Salvation Army. The recipient of the Arnt Loa Scholarship at theMusic Festival was Anne Burton. • TV Auction Committee Chairman John Law was proud to report that 304 items were received for the Auction and that the Auction was a financial success. Total revenues amounted to $74,500; direct expenses were $20,500 and included increased TV production costs totalling $14,500 or $2,000 more than last year. Net income (before administration expense allocation) amounted to $54,000. A group of 10 Kiwanians were divided into 5 teams, and it was their task to obtain “Big Ticket” items. The results of their efforts did produce a number of items in excess of $500 - it is suggested to raise the limits to $1000 next year. 150,000 stuffers were printed and distributed by numerous Kiwanians in mailings from their offices - this certainly helped to promote theAuction and made more people in our community aware of our efforts. • Ways & Means Committee Chairman Tom Beveridge reported that although they reviewed dozens of proposals to raise funds for the Club most were rejected, shelved or placed on the back burner for a multitude of reasons. We conducted weekly raffles at the Friday meetings until such time as the Club’s budgeted administrative funds deficiency was made up. We ran a successful Benefit Dinner which raised approximately $8,500, we initiated the Club’s involvement in a new Kiwanis Lottery in conjunction with the South Ottawa Kiwanis Club which we hope will raise in excess of $50,000. The Committee is in the midst of wrapping up a Furniture Sale which should realize approximately $30,000 for the Club’s Welfare account - this was as the result of Cadillac Fairview, who was closing their home sales division here in Ottawa and who agreed to sell us, at a very low cost, all their Model Home furniture and decor items which we then sold at Open Houses on several weekends. Sales $131,092; Cost of Furniture sold $96,205; Gross Profit $34,887. Expenses - Advertising & Promotion $2,494; Transportation $1,899; Telephone $80; Stationery & Printing $52. Net proceeds before administrative charges $30,362. Administrative charges allocated from General Fund $4,554; Net income $25,808.

164 • Youth & Citizenship Committee Chairman Pat Patterson reported that following are some of the Committee’s projects - $500 to Operation Go Home, $1,000 to Centre 554, a social service centre of the Anglican Diocese of Ottawa, $500 to Greenbelt Riding to provide riding facilities for the disabled, $1,500 to Christie Lake Camp, $1,000 to Sister Gertrude’s Montfort Camp, $1,000 to Algonquin College to provide a summer program for children of summer students attending Manpower Training courses who cannot afford sitters, $1,000 to the Causeway Work Centre to purchase two industrial-type sewing machines for ex- psychiatric adults at the centre, $1,644 to purchase a wheelchair for a lady, $1,000 to the Rape Crisis Centre, $500 to help sponsor “Big Sisters” for a year and $1,000 to Interval House, a home for battered wives. $15,000 was approved for this year as a donation to the Civic Hospital for the purchase of a Cardiology Nuclear Computer for the Hospital with a recommendation that next year’s Board consider a further donation towards this purchase.

Brian filled in for Ed Gosse who was transferred by his company to Toronto. Captain David Rockwell completed his first year as Commanding Officer and the Squadron participated in no less than 25 extra activities aside from the weekly parade night. They were involved in the Meters for Millions as monitors. • Camp Banting Committee Chairman Mike Nininger reported that this session of the camp marked the 30th anniversary of Camp Banting and the 5th year at Camp Echon on the Ottawa River. We had 88 campers this year, 30 more than the previous year - much of the success of this year’s camp can be attributed to the continued involvement of the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario in overseeing the medical and dietary aspects of the camp, the active liaison of the Canadian Diabetes Association for financial and public relations support and communication and co-operation with the Knights of Columbus, our landlords at Camp Echon who ensure proper and adequate camp facilities. • Education & Attendance, Host & Health Committee Chairman Harry Brown reported that the Club History, “This Is Your Club” was last published as a 60th Anniversary Project; in recognition of our 65th year the history has been up-dated and the publication rewritten by Mark Maloney with the help of Harry Binks. Mark Maloney was appointed the Club Historian and Kent Wilkinson introduced some variations to our Roll Call which were well received by the membership. After many years of provision by Mac McLean of the Kiwanis “The Widening Path” book to all new members, it will be discontinued as it has not been up-dated for almost 20 years. Mac will continue to prepare the new members certificates, for which we are all grateful. Attendance figures for the year are 64%; attention was directed towards “delinquent” members and appropriate action was taken.

166 Greeters and Guest Book registrars were provided for each meeting by the Host Committee. As a tribute to our 65th year, President Con Stoltz, in order to replace our tattered table flags, went the extra mile by presenting a specially made permanent lucite container with the flags of all Kiwanis nations. Expenses for the year - Roster $3,000, certificates $100, New members supplies $100, pre-induction $200, miscellaneous $377 for a total of $3,377. Paul Goyette inducted 10 new members into the Club, the Legion of Honour was conducted by Past President Allan Castledine and a special tribute was directed towards Arnt Loa by Chummy Watt in recognition of his 60 years in our Club - he first joined in 1918. Harry Binks handled the New Members Day. We record with sadness the death of faithful Committee member Angus McMorran; he will be greatly missed by the Club particularly for his management of our attendance statistics. Barry Weatherdon has kindly agreed to continue the maintenance of Club attendance records and statistics. • Interclub, Sports & Social Committee Chairman Norm Campbell reported that we had a total of 53 Interclubs this year including 3 out-of-town Clubs at Peterborough, Pembroke and Brockville. 30 Kiwanians and their ladies attended the “Night at the Races” at Rideau Carleton Race Track for a very enjoyable evening. The Winter Weekend at L’Esterel had an attendance of 14 under the guidance of Craig Leverman. Our Hockey Trip to Montreal was arranged by Bob Vergette and had a full busload but only 7 members of our Club; Bob also arranged for a Baseball Trip to Montreal to see the Expos win a double header. Our Annual Golf and Sports Day held at Amberwood Golf & Country Club was arranged by Jim Anderson and Jack Johannsen and had 46 golfers and 55 for dinner. Our Annual Round Robin with 146 Kiwanians, ladies and guests in attendance was arranged by Jack Johannsen and was held in at the homes of Doug & Judy Legere, John & Cathy Law, Allan & Mary Ann Lamb and John & Karin Nichols - truly the social event of the year. • Key Club & Circle K Committee Chairman Dave Parkes reported that the Committee divided itself into teams with one group responsible for each Key Club and Circle K. In addition a team was formed to implement the introduction of a new Key Club and to explore the role of a Builder’s Club. Our Carleton Circle K experienced a year of re-organization as most of the membership are in their graduating year. The Club was responsible for a very successful Blood Donor Clinic. Two members attended the District Convention in Kingston, On. They were awarded the Cystic Fibrosis Award for excellence in fund raising. Fisher Park Key Club only had a membership of 6 throughout the year and although small in numbers they took on many worthwhile projects - Blood Donor Clinic, Wheelchair Basketball Game, Car Bash and distributed carnations to residents of the Medex Nursing Home on Mother’s Day. They were awarded 1st place in Single Service Contest at the District Convention in Toronto. Ottawa Tech Key Club is active and their Blood Donor Clinic brought in 80 pints of blood as well as a list of available donors for emergencies and co-ordinated the Commencement Exercises by supplying ushers, refreshments and preparation of Honour Society Bulletin Board. Glebe Key Club badly needs a sense of direction and we are working on improving this in the future. Both Ottawa Tech and Glebe Key Club have been prohibited from attending District Conventions for two years because of improper behaviour at the District Convention in Toronto this year. Our Club asked that this be modified to prohibit only those delegates responsible and not the entire Club - this has been agreed upon. A new proposed Club at was discussed with a number of meetings held with the school to further this development but with no commitments so far this year.

167 • Major Emphasis Committee Chairman Brian Reinke reported that the Major Emphasis Theme this year is “Share Good Health” and encompassed both “Primary Health Care” and “Communications Disabilities”. President Con Stoltz and Past President Leonard Levencrown as well as members of the Committee and the architect, Mac McLean. TELCI (Therapeutic and Educational Living Centres Inc.) - our Club received a request from this organization for capital assistance in connection with their new home for blind and disabled persons. $5000 was approved for this purpose. $1000 was approved to purchase two Perkins Braillers for the CNIB. • Membership Development Committee Chairman Ron Robinson regrets to announce the death of Jack McKnight, Angus McMorran and Elmore Tufts during this year; the membership count is 202 which includes 145 Active, 8 Privileged, 39 Senior and 10 Honorary. • Medical Foundation Committee Chairman Chuck Anderson reported on the second full year of the Foundation where the revenue amounted to $26,208 including interest income of $22,054 and donations of $4,154. Expenditures for the year amounted to $23,898, including $13,862 in support of the University and other costs for Dr. MohamedHassan, a young Ottawa Neurologist who was sent to the Columbia Medical Research Centre in New York for 2 years to study research in Parkinson’s and returned to Ottawa to open the first Parkinson’s Lab in Ottawa in 1983 – the first of its kind in Canada. Cost was $10,000. It is the intention of the Foundation to maintain a minimum capital of $1,000,000. • Music Committee Chairman Mark Max reported that the “Trick or Treat” program in October highlighted the talents of members, featuring the Great Wilkini (Kent Wilkinson) as M.C. The show was a great success with “The Three Stooges” (Bill Shenkman, Tony Fisher and Peter Bishop), the Crain Continuous Tones, “Cupcake” Preston with the vocal renderings of “Crooner” Pullen was declared the Great Pumpkin by “judges” Earl Crowe and Sol Max who, presumably know great talent when they see it. Over 20 Committee members (and many wives) bused to Peterborough for their Club’s 60th Anniversary Dinner. Earl Crowe caused his usual sensation and the performance marked the debut of a new narrator, with a distinct American accent in the person of Pat McGovern as well as our new young stars, Bill Shenkman and Peter Bishop. As in past years Larry Haffner led our group in a sing-song at the Parkinson’s Disease Association Annual Christmas Party. “Vital Statistics” were presented to Ken & Pat Birchall on the birth of their son Jeffrey Allan, and to Joel and Bea Freeman on the birth of their daughter Ethel Roslyn. Our Annual Family Party organized something new for this year’s party - “The Loon’s Necklace”, a live theatre adaptation of the West Coast Indian Legend with song, rhyme, dance, mime, humour, masks and imagination presented by the Great Canadian Theatre Company. In February Bill Sparks was surprised and honoured for his 36 years of service to our Club. The St. Patrick’s Day luncheon featured a surprise tribute to Bill Navan for his 10 years of service to our Club and ended with sing-a-longs, laughter and music. 25 members joined in a full-production musical salute to our founder, inspiration and leader Sol Max on the occasion of his selection as B’Nai Brith Citizen of the Year. The Committee took part in the Salvation Army Canada Centenary luncheon with a presentation starring Rev. Gervis Black as General Booth and a special Music Committee presentation to mark our 65th Anniversary.

We provided funds for construction of a steel and glass hut for seniors hospitality at the Carp Fair. A record turn out at the Donald Street seniors residence greeted our members for the traditional Christmas dinner; as a new venture, we sponsored a dinner for 53 elderly residents of Queen Mary Court in Overbrook. We provided our support to the Ottawa Senior’s Council’s June Festival. • Spiritual Aims and International Affairs Committee Chairman Fr. Bill More reported that we continued support for the two Foster children of the Foster Parents Plan and for the Arnt Loa Music Festival Bursary. We, again this year, rang the Salvation Army Christmas bells on Sparks Street on another very cold day. The Annual Family Church Service was held at Rideau Park, the church of President Con Stoltz. The Interfaith Prayer Breakfast held within the setting of the Christian Festival was the highlight for this Committee. The Most Rev. Ted Scott, Anglican Primate, was the guest speaker and representatives of all major religions were at the head table. Mayor Marion Dewar extended a warm welcome to all 105 persons in attendance; Staff Sgt. Garth Hampson and Sgt. Jim Brough of the RCMP provided the musical entertainment. $750 was allotted to support the Conference for the Separated and Divorced, held at Carleton University - a project in which Father Bill More was involved. A request for 8 knitting machines for the Lesotho Knitting Club was honoured; CIDA will match our contribution three to one. We were very sorry to lose one of our most active committee members, Past President Elmore Tufts who passed away this year. • TV Auction Committee Chairman Ross Staples was pleased to report that the Auction, for the 19th year in a row, was a financial success with a net profit of $60,642. Over 330 items were collected with a retail value of $125,000 with a return of 70% of retail value. TV production costs from CJOH were $18,000. The Procedures Manual compiled by John Law two years ago and the Organization Chart prepared by Mike Nininger last year was supplemented by the preparation of a very extensive Flow Chart completed by Tom Moore. My secretary, Mary O’Farrell spent almost 3 weeks assisting Shirley Tomblin with the multitude of tasks involved in the smooth running of this major undertaking. • Ways & Means Committee Chairman Barry Nicholds reported that the Weekly Raffles at Friday luncheons netted $2,000; the Kiwanis Lottery run again in conjunction with the South Ottawa Club netted $1,275 (we made $75 for every ticket we sold over 300). The Spring Wine Festival was held for the second year with Tony Fisher handling the organizing - despite a disappointing attendance, it was a terrific night and netted us $629. Tony is attempting to tie this event in with the Festival of Spring next year which should increase our profit. The Benefit Dinner netted $10,000 and a change in format is recommended for next year. A new event for this year, held in conjunction with the Ottawa Distress Centre, was the NAC Theatre Night with Harry Belafonte followed by a party at the beautiful new Royal Bank Centre which brought in a profit of $4,000. 169 John Law organized a project which earned approximately $1,000 for our administrative account - we were paid $35 per member for the 30 members we supplied Bell Northern Research for a behavioural research experiment. • Youth & Citizenship Committee Chairman Brian McCoy reported on a very busy year for this committee. 63 requests were considered and the following projects were approved: $300 for a telephone answering device for the Alzheimer Society; $200 for a train ride for special education school for slow learners; $473 for nursery equipment for Children at Risk; $275 for Christmas dinners for Youth Services Bureau; $1,350 for Intubation Manikins for teaching CPR and Anti-Shock Trousers for the General Hospital; $1,043 for 2 microwave ovens with push-buttons for disabled persons at the Rehabilitation Institute; $600 for camperships for underprivileged children at Christie Lake Camp; $1000 for carpeting and furnishings for Interval House; $1,000 for operating expenses for Sr. Gertrude’s Montfort Camp for underprivileged children; $1,400 for Dust Collector, Overhead Projector and outing for clients of the Causeway Work Centre; $1,000 to assist in funding of drug and alcohol abuse program at Glebe Collegiate; $1,500 for slide/sound projector for Amethyst Women’s Addiction Centre; $200 for an electric typewriter for the Parkinson’s Society.

170 1981-82 President Len Levencrown Special Activities

• Youth & Citizenship Committee Chairman Mark Maloney reported that $7,500 was given to the Ottawa Distress Centre to replace library materials, audio visual equipment and furniture lost during a fire - the Centre received over 16,000 distress calls in 1980 of which 400 were related to suicide in some way. Club Activities

• Agriculture, Conservation and Environment Committee - Chairman Van Wight reported that the Annual Carp Pancake Supper continued to be a success but that consideration should be given to replacing the Country Soiree at the home of Charlie & Ruth Roney with another event in the future due to a decline in attendance. The Story Book Farm at the Carp Fair was well received again this year. • Air Cadet Committee Chairman Ed Gosse was pleased to report that, in this our 40th year, the addition of 5 female cadets blended well into all activities. Squadron strength was a serious problem as we saw our numbers drop from 70 cadets to 50. This resulted in only 2 Glider and 2 Power Scholarships. The cadets helped out with the clean-up of the grounds at Camp Banting. We developed a drill team capable of competing with all other squadrons in the Quebec and Eastern Ontario District and we entered a 24 cadet team for the first time in 8 years. All cadets flew at least twice during the year. The Squadron boasts 3 cadets with Power Licences and 5 with Gliding Licences. • Camp Banting Committee Chairman Ross Staples reported that camp registered 55 campers, representing a 17% improvement over 1980. The highlight of this year’s camp included the establishment of an excellent working relationship with the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario and the Canadian Diabetes Association. We solicited donations from the Lyle Beamish Foundation, C.N.R. and Masonite Canada - this is an approach which should be continued in an effort to make Camp Banting self-supporting. Major facilities improvements were made at camp this year and there was also a major clean-up of the grounds which the Air Cadets helped out with. The performance of Camp Banting staff under Mark McGowan’s direction was outstanding. A solid basis has been established with many branches of C.D.A., numerous departments of C.H.E.O. and the media - a continuation of this effort is mandatory. New mattresses were purchased and installed at a cost of $1,500. • Education, Attendance/Host & Health Committee Chairman Alan Smith reported that attendance during Memberaction Month was a record 86.4% but that attendance throughout the year was poor and did not meet our minimum requirement of 70%. The Host part of the Committee was organized and capably managed by Alex Barrett and Health was controlled by Baz McEnery who, personally, made several visits on the Club’s behalf to ailing Kiwanians. • Interclub, Sports & Social Committee Chairman Tom Lamothe reported that the highlight of this year was the visit of Governor Dr. David Peters which was attended by most Clubs in Division 12. Jim Anderson organized a most successful Division 12 Curling Bonspiel at the Rideau Curling Club; the Annual Golf & Sports Day was hosted at Amberwood Golf Club and chaired by Jim Anderson and considered the most successful golf & sports day ever held by our Club.

171 Jack Johannsen chaired the Round Robin Cocktail Party and hosts were Barry & Marilyn Moffatt, Fred & Liz Cogan and Bill Shenkman - a top notch social evening with 150 Kiwanians, ladies and guests in attendance. Stan Greenwood again planned a most successful “Nite at the Races” at Carleton Raceway. • Key Club and Circle K Committee Chairman Wally Langley reported that Tony Pelosse conducted a valuable training session for the 3 Key Clubs and he recommended that this type of session be held each year. Carleton University Circle K had another outstanding year; they once again held a successful Blood Donor Clinic and visited often with the children at C.H.E.O. A booth was set up at Carleton University during the month of November to sell tickets for the “Help the Aged” Campaign. They were very involved with the organization of the Circle K District Convention held in Ottawa this year which approximately 80 Circle K members attended. They won the Multiple Services Award for best overall service and Mike Brescacin of our Circle K Club won the award for the top Circle K member in our District. They also held a Bowl-a-thon to raise money for the Special Olympics. Ottawa Tech Key Club now has over 20 active members - they held a canned food drive for the Salvation Army and collected 2338 cans. They also ran a Flea Market which raised $230 for their Club. Fisher Park Key Club started the year slowly with a very small nucleus of members but continued to gain members and strength throughout the year. They served refreshments at school concerts, organized a school picnic, fund raising dances and organized a favourite teacher contest to raise funds for their Club. Towards the end of the year they became involved with Murray Dryden’s “Sleeping Children Around the World” project. Glebe Key Club on the other hand is a continuing concern. Although they appear to be an active Club, it is nonetheless a Club on to itself. They make very little effort in coordinating itself with the other Key Clubs and appears to take very little interest in activities or programs other than those sponsored by its own Club members. They held 35 meetings during the year. The most serious item of concern with Glebe during the year was the poor behaviour of some of their members who attended the District Convention in Montreal and I would recommend that we should make the Glebe Key Club and its ongoing sponsorship by our Club a matter of priority in the coming year. • Medical Foundation Committee Chairman Chuck Anderson reported that this year represented the first full year of the Medical Foundation and and to the end of September 1981 monies coming into the fund have included - from the MacLachlan Charitable Trust $100,000.00, from the Kiwanis Ladies $2,050, transferred from Kiwanis Welfare and Conservation funds $8,410.86, interest income and donations from Kiwanians, also monies received from friends of the bereaved in lieu of flowers for a total of $142,418.68. Expenditures amounted to $6,830.35 in connection with the Medical Research grant to assist Dr. Hassan for university fees and other costs at Columbia University (a total commitment of $15,000 per year for two years). A second project is under review and, if approved, will require an expenditure of $30,000 over a two year period. • Major Emphasis Committee Chairman Rob Nelson reported on this year’s International theme is “Kiwanis Concerned Children Suffering from Communications Disabilities”. The Committee canvassed many agencies and organizations in this region and it became clear that the greatest need existed at the Royal Ottawa Hospital which is engaged in treating children suffering from emotional problems.

172 After a number of joint meetings between the Hospital and the Committee, the Committee selected as its project a new building to be attached by a corridor to the present Children’s Building which would offer additional treatment space and it would contain a mini-gym, a woodworking area and an area for clay and for cooking. Total cost of the building was estimated at $200,000; it was agreed that the Kiwanis Club of Ottawa would provide $50,000 or one quarter of the cost of the project, whichever is the lesser and provided that the sum of $150,000 is pledged from sources other than the Kiwanis Club of Ottawa. It was agreed that the best way to raise the additional funds was through Wintario and an application has been made to Wintario for these funds. • Membership Development Committee Chairman Stan Greenwood reported that 13 new members joined the Club and 19 resigned; the Club mourned the passing of Frank Astley, Lou Ullrich and Ernie Perkin. The Club ended the year with 206 members, a net decrease of 10 from the previous year. • Music Committee Chairman Jim Preston reported that the Committee performed 8 times throughout the year and each production had at least 25 members participating. The Family Christmas party saw the Cinderella extravaganza performed with class and dignity and was enjoyed by a crowd of over 300 adults and children. We welcomed Governor David Peters of Newfoundland in song during his visit to our District. The highlight of our musical year was our visit to the Ogdensburg, N.Y. Club when 25 Kiwanians and their ladies drove there for the event - Sol and Earl Crowe were sensational! Our Music Committee took part in the Salvation Army Luncheon when over 300 people were in attendance. We performed for Brian Law, the Ottawa Symphony conductor, when he was guest speaker at our Club; our Committee joined the Ottawa Police Choir to pay tribute to one of our most dedicated and active Kiwanians, Lou Ullrich; Turnover Day was the final performance when we said good-by and thank you to Past President Len Levencrown and his Board and welcomed President Con Stoltz and his new Board of Directors. • Program Committee Chairman Tony Fisher reported on the programs organized for 52 weeks of the past year. Highlights included Dr. Justin Maloney on the need for paramedics and 911 in the City; Civic Election debate between Marion Dewar and Pat Nicol; M.J. Closs, President of Chrysler Canada; Dr. M. Lambert, a volcanist from EMR on the Mont St. Helens volcano; Rev. Norm Johnston on Operation Go Home; University of Ottawa Debating Team on “Whether Kiwanis Should Admit Women”; Murray Dryden on “Sleeping Children Around the World”; Phil Johnston on “The Case Against Mistaken Identity”. • Senior Citizens Committee Chairman Don Blakslee reported that we continued purchasing tickets and taking Seniors to the National Arts Centre; the “Outreach Program” in co-operation with the Glebe Centre was our Committee’s main project for the year and it will begin in the next year. We donated $2,500 to the King’s Daughters for their “Wheels to Meals” program where seniors are brought to a central location and provided with a hot meal and entertainment. $100 was donated to the Ottawa Senior Citizens Council for transportation costs to special events during Senior Citizens Week. The Annual Christmas Dinner was once again served at the Donald Street Seniors Residence by the Jewish members of our Club. The Senior Citizens tent at the Carp Fair was another success with approximately 1000 cups of coffee and donuts served to Seniors who visited the tent. • Spiritual Aims & International Affairs Committee Chairman Gerry Durant reported that we continued our support of the Ottawa Music Festival by contributing $250 towards the Arnt Loa Organ Bursary; we again supported the Foster Parents Plan involving two foster children; 18 additional typewriters were purchased for the Cedric Titus High School in Kingston, Jamaica in order to complete the project started last year.

173 With the support of the Canadian International Development Agency who matched our contribution of $7,000 we have now purchased and sent 36 typewriters to the school in order that their Business Administration Courses could begin. The Committee, with the support of the total Club donated $1,000 to the “Operation Eye- Sight Project”; in cooperation with 4 other Kiwanis Clubs we attempted to raise $5,000 to purchase a mobile eye clinic which would support the treatment of children suffering from eye diseases in a third world country. The Fisher Park Key Club also supported this project by collecting discarded eye glasses. We contributed $350 to support two University students from Ottawa nominated to attend the World University Services of Canada Seminar in Ecuador. We provided $2,500 for Murray Dryden’s work with the “Sleeping Children Around the World”. Members turned out to ring the bells in support of the Salvation Army’s Kettle Appeal. 50 Kiwanians and their families attended the Brotherhood Week Church Services at Rabbi Irving Schrier’s Agudath Israel Congregation. Under the leadership of Major John Carter, 2500 church folders were produced for distribution to hotels and motels within the City to be given to visitors to our Capital. • TV Auction Committee Chairman Hap Nicholds was pleased to report that the net profit from this year’s Auction was $48,278. We continued to pre-film all 300 items and we loaded them into containers to eliminate the handling on the day of the Auction. Mike Nininger was responsible for handling the manpower for the day. Our Auctioneers were Sol Max, Jack Daly, Frank Cauley and Jim Durrell, along with Bill Luxton and Les Lye. Thanks to Frank Lambros of Peter’s Pantry who provided the food. The Chairman suggested that a person be hired 4-6 weeks prior to theAuction to assist the office in preparing the paper work and to follow up on item information and thanked Ray Tomblin who filmed all the items prior to the Auction. • Ways & Means Committee Chairman Charlie Roney advised that they continued the Weekly Raffles which benefited the General Account and netted over $2,000. The Annual Benefit Dinner brought a profit of $9,350; the Spring Wine Festival, a new project under the capable direction of Tony Fisher, produced a profit of $1,089; the Furniture Sale netted $30,000 and a smaller sale of the furniture in 6 homes netted over $5,600. Our Club was able to obtain a framed authentic signatures of the Beatles which, it was planned, would be raffled to the public through a “mail order” program. Unfortunately, the summer mail strike killed the project and forced our members to attempt to save it by selling tickets in shopping centres, fairs, etc. This resulted in a loss of approximately $2,000 on the entire project. Again this year the Kiwanis Lottery was operated in conjunction with the South Ottawa Club. If we sell our allotment of tickets we will realize between $8,000 and $10,000. • Youth & Citizenship Committee Chairman Mark Maloney reported that we purchased a TOSC Life Support Machine for a young Ottawa quadriplegic. Members of our Club and their families, organized by Bob Horlick, supported the Special Olympics by acting as “hosts & companions” to youngsters from across the country; we also provided assistance to their Annual Banquet. Members assisted in the financing of renovations to the House of Traditions, a non-profit recovery home for alcoholics.

174 We donated $900 to the Centretown Community Resource Centre for a program aimed at alcohol and prescription drug abuse by residents of four senior citizens residences; $1,000 for the Causeway Work Centre; $550 for the purchase of a Slide Projector for the Rape Crisis Centre; $1,900 for the refurbishing of the Nursing and Medical Examining Room at the Hillel Lodge, the Ottawa Jewish Home for the Aged; donations to Christie Lake Boys Camp and to Sister Gertrude’s Montfort Family Camp; we purchased 2 wheelchairs for two Ottawa residents who were unable to meet the necessary expenses.

175 1982-83 President Doug Legere Special Activities

• The cadets, with support from Club members put together a Christmas Dinner for members of the squadron - Santa Ken Miller rewarded all cadets in an exchange of gifts. • The ‘meeting of meetings’ for our Club was June 23rd when Prince Charles accepted an invitation to speak to our Club and the “Icing on the Cake” was when Lady Diana decided, at the last minute to join us also. Approximately 700 people filled the Ballroom and the Banquet Room of the Chateau Laurier with Kiwanians, family and friends from all Clubs in Divisions 12 and 13.... but, there had to be a hitch – in mid-morning the power went off due to a wire being cut in the building of the new Rideau Centre. The Security people locked down the Chateau Laurier and our special guests, along with President Doug Legere and a few Kiwanians who were upstairs entertaining our visitors, had to walk down through the kitchen into the Drawing Room where the receiving line had been set up. Club Activities

• Agriculture, Conservation & Environment Committee Chairman Brian Gilman reported that the Ottawa Winter Fair Trophy went to the 4-H team from Glengarry-Stormont. Again, the Carp Pancake Supper was a sell-out; the Country Hoe-Down was cancelled this year; we operated the Story Book Farm again at the Carp Fair where large crowds of families came through the building; white and chocolate milk, hot chocolate and ice cream bars were sold at the Farm by Kiwanians. We were approached by the Carleton Lodge to construct three garden plots at the Lodge and these were built in the Fall. Ross Staples kindly donated the logs for wall construction and John Piper supplied the soil and the Committee put them together. • Air Cadet Committee Chairman Brian Reinke was proud to report that our strong rifle team finished second in Ontario for air, navy and army cadets, the squadron received a senior leader scholarship, a gliding scholarship and a flying scholarship. One of our cadets placed first in the qualifying exams for the gliding scholarship. The cadets, with support from Club members put together a Christmas Dinner for members of the squadron - Santa Ken Miller rewarded all cadets in an exchange of gifts. The squadron strength averaged 50 during the year and we are currently at 60 cadets. • Camp Banting Committee Chairman Tom Moore said this marked the 31st year of operation of Camp Banting and the sixth year the camp has been held at Camp Echon on the Ottawa River. Our attendance this year was 66 campers, 18 below the record attendance of last year. We had a good summer due to the co-operation and involvement of CHEO, the well rounded program offered under the direction of Dave Patrick, the help and co-operation of the Canadian Diabetic Association and the assistance and co-operation of the Knights of Columbus who own Camp Echon. The Committee is now actively planning the long term development of a 47 acre site on Garskeys Lake near Dacre; Botho Von Hampeln is offering to donate the land as a Camp for Diabetic and Underprivileged Children - this will be presented to the Club for consideration during the 1983-84 year. • Education, Attendance, Host and Health Committee Chairman Wilf Parry reported that the Club brochure “This Is Your Club” was organized and re-written by Mark Maloney and printed and distributed by several Club members.

176 Our most satisfying project was the creation of a New Members Committee under the initiative of Len Levencrown, assisted by Mac McLean; they brought the new members together, established a Committee structure and charged them with the responsibility of redecorating the interior of Amethyst House - a job they completed within the year. The late Frank Astley was inducted into the Kiwanis Hall of Fame in recognition of his 44 years as a member. Our attendance figures exceeded those of the previous year - the statistics were compiled most efficiently by Barry Weatherdon. We were saddened by the passing of Baz McEnery who handled hospital visitations for our Committee. • Interclub, Sports & Social Committee Chairman Craig Leverman reported that Stan Greenwood organized another successful Night At the Races which was a sell-out. January saw the curlers of the Club, under the direction of Jim Anderson, travel to Pembroke for the annual Curling Bonspiel (we came within one shot of winning the event!). In February members travelled to Whiteface, N.Y. for the Winter Weekend, organized by Craig Leverman. Our Annual Golf & Sports Day was held at the Amberwood Golf & Country Club; Jim Anderson organized the golfers and Jack Johannsen arranged for the video tapping of some of the unique golf swings of our Club members. In July, members participated in White Water Rafting, a new event organized by Dave Parkes and Marc Charette. 36 members and guests enjoyed an exhilarating ride down the Ottawa River. The Round Robin, under the guidance of Jack Johannsen and Jim Anderson was hosted by Jake & Jean Klassen, Art & Barbara Moody and Norm & Stella Torontow and was another great success. The total interclubs for the year stand at 48 which includes most Ottawa Clubs and our own Key Clubs and Circle K Clubs. • Key Club & Circle K Committee Chairman Bob Vergette reported that this was a re-building year for Carleton Circle K because all previous members transferred or dropped out of school; only 2 members remain. The Club participated in the Annual Blood Donor Clinic and escorted seniors to an Ottawa 67’s Hockey game. Don Keyes has taken on the responsibility of trying to strengthen Carleton. Fisher Park Key Club participated in the Canned Food Drive, collected used glasses, held a Blood Donor Clinic, a Bake Sale and a Chinese Auction. Two Fisher Park members attended the Key Club Convention in April. Ottawa Technical High School Key Club was the most active of our Key Clubs mainly because of the excellent guidance of their teacher Advisor, Mr. Tiezzi. They held a Blood Donor Clinic, a canned food drive, collected used glasses, sold sports bags, held a flea market, a pancake breakfast and sold Distress Centre badges at . Glebe Key Club is not particularly strong in fund raising and we believe this Club requires new guidance. They collected 40 pairs of used eye glasses, held a blood donor clinic, purchased a new Christmas tree for the entrance to the school and held a canned food drive. • Major Emphasis Committee Chairman Brad Ronald advised that the International Major Emphasis Theme this year implemented two major service projects - “Special Olympics” and “Share Good Health With Children”. Our Royal Ottawa Hospital Extension project culminated in the official opening on April 15th by the Hon. Reuben Baetz, Minister of Tourism and Recreation.

177 A shoe exchange program was set up by our Club between the Ottawa Neighbourhood Services and the four Kiddie Kobbler children’s shoe stores. Neighbourhood Services trucks pick up the discarded shoes and sell the useable ones at a very nominal price, others have been given away if the circumstances dictate. Our own Past President Barry Weatherdon feels that there is about a 50% recovery rate and that the project is worthwhile. Our Club name is prominently identified on all boxes. Special Olympics - We purchased a $1,200 racing wheelchair for the Ottawa Stingers Handicap Club to be used by a young man for his attempt at a berth on the National racing team and National Murderball Team. • Medical Foundation Committee Chairman Chuck Anderson reported that this, our third year, was a very important one for the Foundation with three major events. First Dr. Lorne MacLachlan donated another $50,000 (on the proviso that our Club matches that amount over a 5 year period); secondly through the efforts of Shirley Tomblin and President Doug Leger, the Foundation received $6,000 representing the net proceeds on the luncheon for Prince Charles and Lady Diana. Thirdly, through the efforts of Alan Smith, our first Medical Foundation Night at the Races was held with a net profit of $5,800 from this venture. Monies received from Kiwanians totalled $12,895 representing campaign donations and “In Memoriam” monies received in lieu of flowers. In our short 3 years of existence it is interesting to note that our total receipts have approximated $260,000 including over $48,000 in donations over and above Dr. MacLachlan’s large contributions; we have disbursed money on five projects totalling $75,000. Our capital on hand at year end was $184,231. • Membership Development Committee Chairman Don Williams is pleased to report that our Club membership went from 200 to 204 this year. 19 new members were inducted with 2 more to be introduced in October and 15 resigned or moved; the Club mourned the passing of Past President Lon Campbell and Baz McEnery. We now have 147 Active members, 37 Senior, 8 Privileged and 12 Honorary members. • Music Committee Chairman Wayne Beaudoin expressed the feeling that the majority of the credit for the excellent music must go to Sol Max for the wonderful scripts and lyrics and to Bill Navan for his faithfulness in supplying the musical accompaniment, as well as the devoted core of “singers” we have. Alex Dayton was presented with an Honorary Membership and the Music Committee paid a musical tribute to Alex for his many years of devoted service to Kiwanis. One of Sol’s famous ‘commercials’ was presented for Past President Charlie Roney and his Universal Group of Companies. Ladies Day and St. Patrick’s Day were occasions for some more singing; our TV Auction received a spectacular musical kick-off and the firms and the people who worked so hard these past 20 years were honoured in song; we did a musical wedding announcement for Pierre Ranger, welcomed Lloyd Robertson who was guest speaker at the Salvation Army Luncheon but the ‘day of days’ was June 21, 1983 when Their Royal Highnesses, The Prince and Princess of Wales visited - there was never a prouder rendition of our National Anthem! Another ‘commercial’ for Tom Spence and Surgenor’s, a long time supporter of our Club; Ken Birchall kept us in business with birth announcements - there was another one (the fourth) in August and, of course, the end of the year and the welcoming of the new Board were done in music.

178 Committee Chairman Paul Goyette reported that his Committee was busy supplying 52 speakers and programs for this year; highlights were - the “Up With People Show” with over 100 young people from around the world singing and dancing; Mayoralty candidates Mayor Dewar vs. Darrell Kent; Len Dommett, Director and Concertmaster with the Canberra Symphony Orchestra; Family Party with performances by members of the Orpheus Society; Colin Matheson “Security, the Fastest Growing Industry in the World Today”; Ben Babelowsky, “The Rideau Canal Prints Story”; Salvation Army Luncheon with Lloyd Robertson as speaker; Frank Astley was inducted in the Hall of Fame; Dr. Jim Nininger, President of the Conference Board of Canada; Lloyd Francis, Deputy Speaker of the House of Commons; Timothy Whitehead, Manager of the new Westin Hotel; Donald E. Hackworth, President and G.M. of General Motors of Canada; Kim Current, General Manager of the Ottawa International Airport and Paul Robinson, United States Ambassador to Canada. Of course, the ‘meeting of meetings’ for our Club was June 23rd when Prince Charles accepted an invitation to speak to our Club and the “Icing on the Cake” was when Lady Diana decided, at the last minute to join us also. Approximately 700 people filled the Ballroom and the Banquet Room of the Chateau Laurier with Kiwanians, family and friends from all Clubs in Divisions 12 and 13.... but, there had to be a hitch – in mid-morning the power went off due to a wire being cut in the building of the new Rideau Centre. The Security people locked down the Chateau Laurier and our special guests, along with President Doug Legere and a few Kiwanians who were upstairs entertaining our visitors, had to walk down through the kitchen into the Drawing Room where the receiving line had been set up. The luncheon went on, without lights, past the Invocation and the Introduction of the Head Table, illuminated only by the Press Photographers’ lights. Just as the program was to begin the power came back on and we were treated to the rest of the program ending with Prince Charles’ speech and all turned out just wonderful. Prince Charles accepted an Honorary Membership in our Club. • Senior Citizens Committee Chairman Don Evans was proud to report that the most important accomplishment for this year’s Committee was “The Kiwanis Club of Ottawa Golden K Complex”. The members of the Committee worked very hard on the research of all phases of this project which culminated with a presentation to the Club and the Golden K Complex was born and a separate non-profit Incorporated Company was formed to report to the Club directly - the Glebe Outreach Program is finally underway. This took 3 years of work by this Committee who were the driving force to get it started. Three people were hired with the financial help of our Club ($5,000), the Glebe Centre Inc., United Church Block Grant, a private contribution and a N.E.E.D. grant by the Federal and Provincial governments. Ten people from Medex, Glebe Centre and West End Villa were treated to an evening at an Orpheus production. The signs were erected on the new Senior Citizens Building at the Carp Fair grounds and over 1200 cups of coffee and 1200 doughnuts and cookies were served during the two days of the Fair. Over 100 seniors were served Christmas dinner at the Donald Street Residence by the Club members of the Jewish faith. • Spiritual Aims and International Affairs Committee Chairman Bob Barr reported that we continued support of one child on the Foster Parents Plan; support was also given to three children under the administration of the Salvation Army’s Plan. Again this year our many members rang the Christmas bells for the Salvation Army on Sparks Street; the Annual Interfaith Church Service was held at Parkdale United Church with Rev. Gervis Black presiding and a good turnout of Kiwanians and families in attendance. $1,000 was given to the “Sleeping Children Around the World” project; $500 was donated to the “Heal the Children” project; $600 given to the Royal Canadian Chapter of Organists in recognition of our own Arnt Loa, an accomplished organist and our oldest member.

Auction Committee Chairman Mike Nininger reported on the 20th consecutive year the TV Auction was held. Total revenue from item sales, t-shirt advertising and donations totalled $110,700. Direct expenses were $31,300 with a net profit of $79,300 before administration expense allocation - this represents an increase over the past year of some $19,000. This year the TV time was extended from 6 to 7 hours; Major Items (over $1,000) were handled as an ‘Elite’ group, shown on a separate bid board and not sold until the last half hour of the Auction; they were given preferential advertising treatment as well. • Ways & Means Committee Chairman Emile Bergevin advised that the Weekly Raffles netted $2,590 for the General Account; the Kiwanis Lottery which ran in conjunction with the South Ottawa Kiwanis generated $9,000 - we sold 300 tickets and made $30 on each ticket. The ChineseAuction conducted in December raised $275, the Spring Wine Festival which Tony Fisher spearheaded and organized virtually single handedly was a great success - the result was $978 for the General Account. The Club’s first Lobster Night was held in June at the Civic Centre. The event was organized by Harold Wyman, John Meissner, John Shane, Peter Patafie and Pierre Ranger and turned out to be a super social evening with 525 people in attendance but, unfortunately was not the financial success we had hoped for - although we barely broke even, it is recommended that we attempt it again next year with better control over ticket sales and more advanced publicity. The Westin Hotel official Opening Night was held in October and was organized by Tom Beveridge, John Meissner, Tom Spence and Tony Fisher. It was a gala event attended by 100 couples and consisted of cocktails, hors d’oeuvres, hotel tour, superb dinner and dancing - all for $250 per couple. The net proceeds were expected to be between $17,000 and $20,000. • Youth and Community Services Committee (formerly the Youth and Citizenship Committee) Chairman Bob Horlick reported that the following was approved: $2,600 for Children at Risk; $2,500 for TELCI; $500 to Greenbelt Riding Association for the Disabled; $100 for the Youth Services Bureau Christmas Party; $500 to the Special Olympics; $190 to send a handicapped child to camp; $100 to the Andrew Fleck Camp; $100 to West End Community Lunch Kitchen; $100 to St. Brigid’s Soup Kitchen; $389 to send a child to Christie Lake Camp; $199 for a destitute family; $1,000 to aid in construction of the recreation centre for the Waupoos Family Foundation; $2,600 to purchase a second hand commercial dishwasher for St. Brigid’s Soup Kitchen; $75 to purchase a second hand walkie-talkie for St. John’s Ambulance - Total $10,944.

These plots were raised so that the elderly at the Lodge could enjoy their gardening with ease. Our Committee held an organized trip to Kemptville College of Agricultural Technology - an excellent outing when 42 Kiwanians and wives enjoyed a dinner and a guided tour of the grounds. Each year a number of 4 H’ers are brought to Ottawa to attend a Citizenship Seminar. We hosted the group for a day and gave them a guided tour of the City and a lunch. Once again the Carp Pancake supper was a sell-out. The Carp Fair was blessed with good weather and the highest attendance. Our Committee operated the Storybook Farm which was visited by more people than any other activity on the grounds.

182 The CHEO staff handled the pre-camp training, helped to set up the hospital and provided the necessary medical support during the camp. The relaxed camp operation suitable to Camp Echon is just not compatible with our operation and each year it becomes more apparent that we must locate a new, more efficient site. Your Committee is investigating availability of local sites and as well would like to have actual camp management taken over by the Canadian Diabetic Association. • Education, Attendance, Host & Health Committee Chairman Mike Lundy reported that the work of his Commitee this year was concentrated solely to the Club members by promoting attendance at our weekly luncheons, educating members on how they can attain a higher attendance record or even achieve perfect attendance. May was Memberaction Month and we reached a high attendance of 81%. We welcomed members and their guests at each weekly meeting with “Greeters” and the health of members is recorded on a regular basis and members are told when visitations to the sick are advisable. 14 of our members were afflicted with various illnesses but all are back in good health. Our thanks to Barry Weatherdon who compiles the attendance statistics each week.

They, as well as Ottawa Tech, held a successful book sale, jelly bean raffle, canned food drive and blood donor clinic. • Major Emphasis Committee Chairman Peter Mercer advised that the Major Emphasis for this year is to “Enrich the World of the Handicapped”.

We sold $197,000 worth of goods for $123,000 which is about 62% of full retail; we sold all 200 tickets on the car donated by Jim Tubman Chev Olds so we will realize $15,000 on their generous $7,400 donation. We received $1,700 in cash donations, sold $3,500 on T-shirt advertising; our expenses totalled $33,00 of which approximately $24,000 will be paid to CJOH. 90 Kiwanians solicited items, 80 different Kiwanians worked the day of the Auction and 50 non-Kiwanian volunteers helped with this fund raising event. • Ways & Means Committee Chairman Peter Bishop reported that we continued with the Weekly Raffles and raised $2,500 for the General Account, $6,000 from the Kiwanis Lottery and $2,685 for the General Account from the Spring Wine Festival, held under the leadership of Tony Fisher.

This year’s MC’s were Kent Wilkinson and Tom Belton. Cigars were handed out to all who attended the function and it is recommended that next year a special “Thank you on behalf of the Kiwanis Club of Ottawa” be attached to the cigar.

Our Annual Pancake Supper in Carp was another success with J.J. Clarke of CKOY as guest speaker. We once again operated Storybook Farm at the Carp Fair and the visitations broke all records. We sold white, chocolate milk and ice cream sandwiches from our booth and 100 apples were donated by Bob Alyea from his farm and these sold extremely well. • Air Cadets Committeee Chairman Brian Reinke reported that the Squadron did a great deal of re- organizing and the quota was maintained at around 60 cadets throughout the year. Cadets participated at the Kiwanis TV Auction, in parades and sports and helped the Key Clubbers at the Blood Donor Clinic as well as a Sports Night with the Kiwanis members.

The Camp moved to a new site at Christie Lake and the Camp date was moved to August; this created some difficulty in staffing and we unfortunately experienced some inclement weather. We had to operate our camp with a new Camp Director, Skip Riddell and we had Steve McClinton as Program Director. CHEO provided our Camp with all the medical, nursing and dietetic staff and we were pleased that the Provincial section of the Canadian Diabetes Association were more involved in diabetic camping in Eastern Ontario.

A Committee member was made responsible to organize “his” interclub, and call around to get members to attend with him. This proved to be very successful. The Winter Weekend planned for February had to be cancelled due to lack of interest. The Round Robin Cocktail Party was a very successful evening capably planned and implemented by Jack Johannsen and Jim Anderson with thanks to our hosts Jim and Donna Hicks, Bob and Tanya Vergette and Tom and Terry Spence.

Ottawa Tech Key Club had approximately 8 members all year and were not able to accomplish much due to their small numbers. They did hold a Blood Donor Clinic and collected used eye glasses for the Third World. Fisher Park Key Club only had 3-5 members and were not able to complete many projects; the prospect of Fisher Park High School closing did not help their enthusiasm either. There were only 3 members at Carleton University Circle K. Thanks to Howie Lithwick who never missed a Key Club meeting at Fisher Park and who worked very hard all year in an attempt to build up all three clubs. • Major Emphasis Committee Chairman Pat Patterson reported on this year’s Major Emphasis Theme ‘Uplift Underprivileged Children’ and that $3,000 was donated to Ottawa Foyer Partage of Praxis Holy Cross Parish to assist them in providing employment for the severally handicapped. $2,000 was given to “Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind” to assist with an advertising campaign.

• Agriculture, Conservation and Environment Committee Chairman Wilf Parry reported that the 4-H Club of Prescott County was awarded our Winter Fair trophy. The Carp Pancake supper was another great success and a total sellout. We greeted 54 members of 4-H Club delegates from across the country and gave them a tour of the Capital and hosted them at lunch. 11 youngsters of the West End Boys and Girls Club were involved in the Green Thumb Project growing plants, etc. indoors. A retired agricultural researcher was obtained to provide some direction and advice. Again we managed the Story Book Farm at the Carp Fair; 11 Kiwanians staffed the booth over the 3 days of the Fair. • Air Cadets Committeee Chairman Dave Costford advised that the Squadron had a full and eventful year. The quota fluctuated around the 60 cadet mark for the year. A successful Annual Curling Bonspiel was held at the Nepean Sportsplex; 55 prizes were handed out at the end of the day. A Sports Night was arranged by the squadron to challenge the Kiwanis Club - the Kiwanians were beat by the narrowest of margins. Trips included a visit to Montreal to attend a baseball game; another trip to Montreal where we visited ‘La Ronde’ and a highlight of the year was a trip to Trenton Air Base to take in the International Air Show. A tag day was held at the Carlingwood Mall and the cadets were most helpful at the Annual Blood Donor Clinic. • Benefit Dinner Committee Chairman Barry Nicholds reported that the Committee agreed on a change of venue for this, the 25th Anniversary Dinner; the dinner took place at the National Museum of Natural Sciences and was catered by Capital Foods and the facility and help were provided at no charge - 250 tickets were sold (more than ever before) with the highest profit ever attained - $15,400.

A contribution of up to $20,000 by CDA brought us in a break-even position.

191 The role of this Committee next year will be to wind-down the role of the Kiwanis Club in Camp Banting. To this extent, both the Committee chairman and Shirley Tomblin will continue to provide advice as required by the CDA and will be in attendance at most CDA/Camp Banting Committee meetings. In summary, for 34 years, since 1953, the Kiwanis Club of Ottawa has assisted hundreds and hundreds of young diabetics to learn to cope positively with a serious and potentially life threatening illness. In this Committee’s respectful opinion, those 34 years both in terms of time and money have been well spent. • Education & Attendance, Host & Health Committee Chairman Ed Murphy reported that attendance average for the year was 69% with May, Memberaction Month, $78.8% and thanked Barry Weatherdon for again providing the Club with attendance records as he has done for many years; it is recommended that a person with access to a computer undertake this work for the next session.

We were sorry to report that it has been necessary to cancel the Carleton University Circle K Charter because of lack of interest. • Major Emphasis Committee Chairman Peter Bishop reported that the major emphasis for this year is “Walk With a Child” - the object to assist financially underprivileged children and we concentrated on the 6-12 age group.

198 1987-88 President Alan Smith Special Activities

• Saturday, May 14, 1988 was the first Annual Kiwanis Rideau Canal Duck Race for Tiny Hearts. The Race was preceded by a parade organized by our Club and special guest was Donald Duck from Disneyland. We literally sold out the 50,000 available tickets and delivered a cheque to the Children’s Hospital Foundation for $175,000 on the Miracle Network Telethon. 50,000 plastic ducks were dumped into the Rideau Canal at the Hartwell Locks and the winners of the first ducks to arrive at the finish line were awarded great prizes. • The 911 system was initially established by the former Regional Municipality of Ottawa Carleton in 1988. For two years prior to that, several members of the Kiwanis Club of Ottawa, led by Kiwanian Mark Maloney, began working on bringing 911 to Ottawa. His brother, Dr. Justin Maloney, Head of Emergency at the Civic Hospital, knew the terrible need for paramedics in our city and talked his brother Mark into getting it organized. Our Club provided the first $5,000 to help get this program started and much of the work was done out of the Kiwanis office at 111 Sparks Street. Among those involved were Mark O’Neill and Shirley Tomblin. Club Activities

• Agriculture, Conservation and Environment Committee Chairman Greg Field reported that the Kiwanis Club of Ottawa Ottawa Winter Fair trophy was retired and a new trophy for a new class, Senior Beef Showman, was presented to Robert Faubert of Carleton County. The guest speaker at the Carp Pancake Supper this year was Pat Cochrane and the event was again a sellout. We again hosted 50 members of the 4-H Club delegates to Ottawa; 15 of our members drove these young people around Ottawa and hosted them for lunch. The August meeting was held at the Log Farm and we continued to discuss ways in which we could help to market or make more visible this historical location. The attendance at the Carp Fair increased to approximately 45,000 and the Story Book Farm building continues to be one of the main attractions at the Fair. • Air Cadets Committeee Chairman Dave Costford reported that the Squadron experienced a banner year with an enrolment high of 91 cadets. The highlight of the year was an exchange visit with the 759 Falcon Air Cadet Squadron of Burnaby, B.C. 25 cadets spent the week in Burnaby and 21 cadets returned to spend a week in Ottawa as guests of the 211 Squadron. The trip was made possible by a grant made available through the Secretary of State Directorate of Open House Canada. 5 cadets received summer school scholarships to further their experience in flying and life at numerous Air Bases throughout Canada. The Annual Bonspiel was again hosted by the 211 and a full turn out of 80 cadets from the Ottawa area was involved. Cadets hit upon a bonanza for raising money through the sale of “Lifesavers” candy rolls. This has netted them approximately $3,000 which came in handy in covering some unexpected expenses with the trip to B.C. • Benefit Dinner Committee Chairman Mike Nininger reported that the Dinner was held at the Westin Hotel and ticket sales were again supervised by Vince Calzonetti, Bill O’Neill and Tom Spence whose efforts resulted in 294 out of the 300 tickets being sold.

199 The computerized cash draw used for the first time last year was again utilized this year, with a few enhancements and seemed to meet with everyone’s approval. Our thanks to Bob Kingham, Jim Grainger and Bob Carter of Thorne, Ernst and Whinney who oversaw this aspect and to Tom Athanasiou who carried out the functions of Treasurer. The net profit realized from the Dinner was $18,956.40. • Education and Attendance Committee Chairman Don Keyes reported that two evenings took place at President Allan Lamb’s home where new members and their wives were invited to meet members of the Executive to socialize and learn more about Kiwanis. During the year two New Member Inductions took place and one Legion of Honour presentation when Past President Harry Brown presented Awards to 11 members for a total of 435 years of service. Life Member status was granted by Kiwanis International to Vic Castledine and Arnt Loa • Interclub, Sports and Social Committee Chairman Ted Digel reported that the Committee organized 37 Interclubs in both Divisions 12 and 13 as well as in Florida. The New Members meeting at the Metropolitan Life Lounge was an evening set up, thanks to Lorne Smith, to allow our new members to meet several of our other members and the evening was complimented with films of horse races – betting was permitted with the funds going to our Club. The Golf Tournament at Amberwood was another successful event with close to 90 members and guests who enjoyed the dinner and a total sell-out for the Golf and Sports portion. An evening soiree at the home of Vic Whittaker was arranged by Jack Johannsen and Jim Anderson and was most successful. • Key Club & Circle K Committee Chairman Howie Lithwick thanked Bob Houle who was most responsible for the rejuvenation of the Carleton University Circle K Club and Henry Krzywicki who worked so hard with the Ottawa Tech Key Club. Nepean Key Club had a very successful year with 16 paid-up members and will be applying for its Charter in the new school year. Some of their projects were: Dr. Wilbert Keon spoke at the school and raised $150 for the Heart Institute; participated in the Duck Race and Soup Kitchen Live; held a Bake Sale, a Popcorn Sale and a Car Wash. The Nepean High School Stage Band entertained at Key Club Day. Carleton University Circle K had a current membership of 10 before it broke up for the summer and 7 others expressing interest to join. They had a tour of CHEO with the idea of becoming involved in volunteer work at the hospital in the year to come. Ottawa Tech Key Club was a major disappointment this year. Henry Kryzwicki put in a lot of time and effort to try to get this Club going but, it lacked an advisor and also missing was real support from the school principal. Our Club paid the dues for Tech to prevent it from being put into a suspended status and if we are not successful in reviving the Club we may pursue a Club in another school next year. Jim Bowie has been investigating the possibility of starting a Key Club at Ridgemont High School. • Major Emphasis Committee Chairman Ron Petersen reported that the Major Emphasis Program for the year was “Our Quest: Their Best” and two projects investigated were the Youville Centre and the Gloucester Youth Centre. It was decided to give the Youville Centre up to $10,000. We also provided money to the Gloucester Youth Centre to assist youths to help themselves and to reduce problems in an apartment complex area on Donald Street; we provided them with a considerable amount of sports equipment, video equipment and also some camping equipment and equipment to try and help them raise some additional funds for projects for these children during the summer. We also initiated a scholarship program whereby four $1000 scholarships were awarded to outstanding students in the Ottawa-Carleton Boards.

200 • Medical Foundation Committee Chairman George Perrin took over from Hap Nicholds who had to step down as Chairman due to pressure of business. Fundraising events consisted of a Farewell Dinner for Tim and Ina Whitehead, manager of the Westin Hotel, which netted $1,003 thanks to the efforts of Tom Beveridge, a sell-out Night at the Races raised over $7,000 with the help of Dan Rozon and Richard Clayman, The Canadian Cystic Fibrosis Fashion Show netted $13,350 which was divided evenly between the Canadian Cystic Fibrosis and our Medical Foundation. Revenues received during the year amounted to $45,328 and our capital now stands at $384,971. During the year we supported seven projects with grants of $74,544. This brings our total support of projects over 8 years of existence to $440,044. • Membership Committee Chairman Dave Parkes reported a net increase of 10 members to 235 in the year – 166 Active, 8 Privileged, 47 Senior, 14 Honorary and 4 Life. 32 members joined the Club and 24 names were deleted from the Club. The Club mourned the passing of Lyle Beamish who had 45 years of membership and our dear pianist Bill Navan (member of the Rideau Kiwanis Club) who, although he was not a member of our Club, served us as our Club pianist for 17 years. • Miracle Network Telethon Committee Chairman Ted Horton reported on an idea introduced to our Club by Paul Nattall of the CHEO Foundation – the Kiwanis Duck Race – one of the most unique fund raisers ever staged in the Nation’s Capital. Saturday, May 14, 1988 was the first Annual Kiwanis Rideau Canal Duck Race for Tiny Hearts. The Race was preceded by a parade organized by our Club and special guest was Donald Duck from Disneyland. We literally sold out the 50,000 available tickets and delivered a cheque to the Children’s Hospital Foundation for $175,000 on the Miracle Network Telethon. 50,000 plastic ducks were dumped into the Rideau Canal at the Hartwell Locks and the winners of the first ducks to arrive at the finish line were awarded great prizes. The ducks were then gathered up and dumped on the grass at Lansdowne Park where hundreds of volunteers removed the tags, cleaned the ducks and prepared them to be returned to the “Duck” company. Special thanks to the many hours of hard work and to Norm “Ranger Duck” Campbell, Ian “Breakfast Duck” Hendry, Len “Major Duck” Levesque assisted by Bob Barr, Mike “Daddy Duck” Lundy assisted by Dave Parkes, Larry “Dealer Duck” Nelms, Brian “Audit Duck” Reinke, Tom “Ticket Duck” Spence, Les “Dasher Duck” Warren, Ron “Quacker Duck” Vincent. We also had full support from Paul “Top Duck” Nattall and Dan “Dollar Duck” Holland of the Childrens Hospital Foundation. • Music Committee Chairman Jim Grainger reported that the following presentations were handled by the Committee: Valentine Luncheon where the ladies were entertained at a luncheon at the Museum of Natural Sciences, St. Patrick’s Day Luncheon, a visit to St. Pat’s Seniors Home and a sing-a-long with the residents, 70th Anniversary Dinner and “Vital Statistics” for Vince and Kim Colizza’s new daughter. Thanks to Sol and Mark Max, our two writers and leaders, to Harry Brown, our resident pianist and to Paul Dyck and John Norton who filled in at the piano when needed. • Kiwanis Music Festival Committee Chairman Dan Rozon reported on the 2nd year when all Kiwanis Clubs in the National Capital Region joined together to form the “Kiwanis Music and Dance Festival Association/National Capital Region”. Membership in the Association is comprised of (1) members of the Ottawa Music Festival Association prior to October 27, 1987; (2) Kiwanians appointed by Kiwanis Clubs who sponsor the Music Festival and have their territorial limits within the Regional Municipality of Ottawa-Carleton or the Outaouais Region and (3) persons who show interest in the Association activities. The 1988 Festival was held in two parts – the Dance Program which was held in two local high schools, with approximately 500 entries and the Music Program which was held at 8 locations with over 3000 entries.

201 We helped support the Festival by co-ordinating manpower, handling publicity, handling the Highlights Concert and a thousand and one other matters. Congratulations to John Law who did a great job as President of the Association this year. Revenue $50,456, Expenditures $62,616. Interest from endowment fund and donations $17,325. Expenditure over revenue ($5,166). • Program Committee Chairman Stuart Brandy reported that they produced 52 weeks of programming. Highlights were: Russell Beach, the man behind the Beach Industries; , MP spoke on “Free Trade”; 70th Anniversary Luncheon with visit of International President Tony Kaiser; Senator Florence Bird at a joint luncheon with South Ottawa; Soup Kitchen Live with slide presentation; Rod Bryden “Managing & Financing your Business”; “Winterlude ‘88” with Peter Mercer; Tom Belton spoke on “The Fun Side of Being a Kiwanian”; Brian McGarry “Controversy in Funeral Service and Funeral Trends”, Salvation Army Luncheon with Peter Mansbridge; Michael Hind-Smith spoke on “Canadian Cable Television”; Julie Tubman “A Family Business”; George Perrin “40 Years and Then Some”; Rev. Gervis Black “Will you Miss Me When I Leave As Much as You Missed Wayne Gretzky?”. • Public Relations Committee Chairman Tom Beveridge reported that this year marked the re-birth of the Public Relations Committee to improve our Club’s profile within our own Club, within Kiwanis International and within our immediate community. The specific initiatives that we did get underway were: Kiwanews, a periodic newsletter, published in the Spring and Fall, designed to let the community-minded businesses and individuals who support us know about our accomplishments. Particular thanks to Barry Nicholds, Jim Bowie, Mark Max and Bob Littemore for their efforts towards this publication. Hon. David Peterson luncheon at the Westin Hotel with over 500 people in attendance which netted $6,000 for the Welfare Account. Photography at Club luncheons was organized in such a way that we are now assured of having a complete pictorial record of Club activities. Thanks to Andre Proulx for undertaking this very time consuming job. Our Profile in Kiwanis has been enhanced significantly through the efforts of this Committee. A highlight of this respect was the selection of Bob Kipp as Kiwanian of the Year. Golf Shirts with our Kiwanis logo embroidered on them are a distinctive way to highlight our involvement at Club events. The 911 system was initially established by the former Regional Municipality of Ottawa Carleton in 1988. For two years prior to that, several members of the Kiwanis Club of Ottawa, led by Kiwanian Mark Maloney, began working on bringing 911 to Ottawa. His brother, Dr. Justin Maloney, Head of Emergency at the Civic Hospital, knew the terrible need for paramedics in our city and talked his brother Mark into getting it organized. Our Club provided the first $5,000 to help get this program started and much of the work was done out of the Kiwanis office at 111 Sparks Street. Among those involved were Mark O’Neill and Shirley Tomblin. • Senior Citizens Committee Chairman Matt McGrath reported that the opening of the Kiwanian Alex Dayton Senior Activity Centre at Carlingwood was a major item for this Committee. We purchased furnishings for the public entrance area at the Russian Orthodox Senior’s Centre on Stonehurst Ave. and joined with South Ottawa Kiwanis when purchases were made for the Asher Senior Citizens Co-Operative Homes on Viewmount Drive. We sponsored a barbecue at St. Patrick’s Home when the Music Committee provided the entertainment and donated a TV set for one of the recreation rooms there. We provided funds to support the production “Ya Gotta Have Heart”, the Senior Citizens Show which was televised on CBOT and provided funds through the “Lifeline” at the Elizabeth Bruyere Centre at a cost of $22.00 per month per patient, a 24 hour a day link with emergency medical facilities. Again Tom Spence and Surgenor’s supplied transportation and we purchased 10 tickets per Orpheus performance so that people in retirement homes could have the opportunity to enjoy another night out. 202 In addition to our presence at the Carp Fair on Saturday and Sunday, we handled it on Friday for the first time. Donations to the Kiwanis Medical Foundation were accepted while serving the coffee, donuts and cookies to the seniors. Our thanks to the many Kiwanians, their families and friends and especially to our Jewish members who have made the Christmas dinner their own at the Donald Street Residence. • Soup Kitchen Live ‘88 Committee Chairman Rick Pendykoski reported that this is the 3rd year the event was held on the Rideau Street Mall and was the most successful so far in terms of money and food raised; over $70,000 in monies, foodstuffs and clothing were realized. A complete report on this event is on file in the Kiwanis Office. Letters of thanks have been sent to our sponsors and volunteers and a special thanks goes to our partners, the Ottawa-Hull District Federation of Musicians and the Downtown Rideau Board of Management. • Spiritual Aims and International Affairs Committee Chairman Ron Wing was pleased that the following Major items were completed: $1,500 to the Canadian Health Response Team to Guatemala; $2,500 for Church Directories; $700 for Foster Children Sponsorships; $500 to the Arnt Loa Music Scholarship; $500 to Martha Coates Assistance (World University Conference); $5,000 to Clergy Bursaries and $700 to Sleeping Children Around the World project. We now have 9 Padres represented from 6 denominations. • TV Auction Committee Chairman Bob Kipp reported on the 25th Annual Kiwanis Club of Ottawa TV Auction which was a tremendous success and reportedly the largest single day Service Club project (dollar wise) in Canada. More than 420 items and cash donations from more than 400 businesses in our community; some 97 Kiwanians obtained items valued at more than $317,000 retail; 150 volunteers worked the Auction day, 90 of these volunteers being members of our Club. • TheMajor Donor Committee chaired by Tom Grossman increased the number of $1,000 items from 74 in 1987 to 90 this year; the “12 Cylinder Committee” chaired by Tom Spence ensured we had our 400 items in time for the Auction; the Pre-Auction Marketing Committee chaired by Tom Deacon had $75,000 worth of pre-bids on the boards the night before the Auction; Bob Littlemore and the people from the Citizen and Brad Ronald, the voice media from CFRA, did a great job of advertising. The Car Raffle Committee headed by Tom Spence sold 625 tickets on a $21,000 Mini-van and netted more than $26,000. • Youth and Community Services Committee Chairman Bob Littlemore reported that the Committee investigated 115 specific requests and recommended expenditures on 42 of them in the amount of $43,517. In addition, members of the Committee were directly responsible for the procurement of specific items at no cost which were in turn given to some needy person or organization. We collected over 50 used bicycles, repaired them and distributed them to needy children through the Children’s Aid and collected 14 wheelchairs for redistribution through requests from the Red Cross. Some major projects were: $2,500 to New Beginnings for Youth; $2,900 to the Union Mission to help refurbish the Mission hostel; $2,800 to send children to the YM/YWCA camp; $2,000 to provide furnishings to the Vista Centre, a rehab centre for persons suffering brain damage; $700 for camperships to Camp Banting; $1,000 to Little Beavers to help their day camp programs for native children; $1,500 to Total Communications Environment to provide items for a home for multi handicapped persons; $6,000 to TELCI to purchase furniture for a therapeutic and educational living centre for handicapped people; $2,500 to Salus Corporation to furnish a dining room in a group home for people recovering from psychiatric illness; $1,000 to Drugs in Sports to support the Ottawa Police with equipment to provide a program for youths; $2,367 to purchase an electric wheelchair for a paraplegic at the Rehab Centre; $1,000 to the Snow Suit Fund.

204 1988-89 President Mike Lundy Special Activities

• A Grey Cup Party at the Civic Centre which netted the Medical Foundation $73,150. The Grey Cup Party, held at Lansdowne Park prior to the Grey Cup Game was, what could have been a riot, turned into a great night. Prior to the event, 1000 tickets had been sold at $25.00 per person but when football fans started arriving in Ottawa and looking for a party, they landed on our doorstep! We only purchased enough beer for 1000 people but over 4,200 showed up. Luckily for us Mayor Jim Durrell was a member of our Club and, when he was approached with our dilemma, he gave the order to break into the beer trucks which were on hand for the next day’s Grey Cup game – this saved the night and helped us prevent what could have been a real disaster. Club Activities

• Agriculture, Conservation and Environment Committee Chairman Van Wight reported that the Ottawa Winter Fair Trophy was presented to Shannon Crawford from Grenville County. After a number of meetings with the Executive of the Log Farm, our Committee decided to withdraw from this activity as the National Capital Commission is withdrawing their support over the next 5 years. Our Club chaired the Carp Pancake Supper, provided half of the door prizes and the guest speaker for the evening – Tom Lamothe, a former Ottawa Club Kiwanian who presented a very entertaining talk on “The Penal System in Canada”. This year 17 of our members hosted 58 4-H Club delegates from across Canada and gave them a tour of the City and provided a lunch for them at Jack Smith’s Melting Pot. The Carp Fair and the operation of the Story Book Farm is our Committee’s largest project this year. We sold milk, ice cream bars and apples donated by Bob Alyea. • Air Cadets Committeee Chairman Buck Madden reported that cadets enrolment continued as last year’s high of over 90 cadets. It is with regret that Vic Castledine passed away in May – he founded 211 Squadron in 1942 and was the first Commanding Officer. The highlight of the year was a visit by 46 cadets to the U.S.A.F. Air Museum in Dayton, Ohio. Three aircraft accompanied a bus on the trip and all the cadets spent part of the trip in the air. The cadets raised over $3,500 through the sale of “Lifesaver” candy rolls to help defray the cost of their trip. The Annual Curling Bonspiel was organized and hosted by our cadets with over 80 cadets from the Ottawa area in attendance. Ken Miller donated his lap as Santa at the cadets’ Annual Christmas Dinner. It was noted that Kiwanian Gilles Langlois who helped out at the dinner is a 211 “old boy” from the class of 1949! • Benefit Dinner Committee Chairman John Booth advised that we are celebrating our 28th Annual Benefit Dinner and it was held at the Chateau Laurier and, as in the past years, continued to be a stag event. Ticket price remained at $150 and 300 tickets – all were sold even though we had to change the date due to another important local function, the B’Nai B’Rith Citizen of the Year Dinner. The draw was shortened to 6 prizes, five at $500 each and one at $2,500 – this format was well received. Entertainment by the hilarious Father Vaughn Quinn was well accepted. The night netted us $19,377.86.

205 • Education and Attendance Committee Chairman Keith McGruer reported that we started a process of having one table at each luncheon designated as Education Table. Newer members were urged to sit there and a discussion leader directed the table talk to a designated topic. While the use was sporadic, the recommendation is that this idea be continued. For 3-4 months, an education question was inserted in the weekly Bulletin and the President would exempt a fine when a member could answer it. This was well received. President Mike Lundy hosted a New Member’s Night for the new members and their partners. Vice- Presidents and others spoke about Kiwanis and our Committee activities. Barry Weatherdon again kept the attendance records – we have not yet been able to get the attendance computerized, although this is coming closer. The Committee was very concerned about the qualifications used for granting Senior Membership and that the Club was at the 25% level in this classfication. Senior Membership is not an honour, it is a condition which recognizes a member’s inability to attend due to health, business or financial situations. The Committee recommended closer review of Senior Members, and a of 25% of total membership was set. • Interclub, Sports & Social Committee Chairman Rick Pendykoski reported that 59 Interclubs were held from Pembroke in the North to Sarasota, Fla. in the South. Our Curling Bonspiel was held at the Hunt Club. We entered 3 teams in the Pembroke Bonspiel and finished first, second and fifth. The Ski Weekend at Mont Ste Marie drew 28 skiers who raved about the great accommodations and the meals. There were 82 golfers and over 90 for the dinner at the Annual Golf Tournament at Amberwood. Most members of the Committee and the Board of Directors and spouses attended a Corn Roast at Chairman Rick’s Pendykoski’s home – a wonderful event. The Round Robin was held at the homes of Pat & Bernie Ethier, Louise & John French and Ruth & Vic Reed and was again a success. The annual pilgrimage to Florida was expanded to six days and 20 members enjoyed first class accommodations, golf, sailing, tennis, interclubs and hospitality in Sarasota. • Key Club and Circle K Committee Chairman Howie Lithwick reported that the Nepean High School Key Club, with 20 members, continues to be one of the top Clubs in our district; the teacher-advisor, Judith Safran, is a truly exceptional individual and her contribution to this Club’s success cannot be overstated. Projects are: collection of snowsuits for the Snowsuit Fund, donations to a Canadian school for the hearing impaired, manning booths at the annual fair for the Ottawa Civic Hospital, Grey Cup programming, CHEO Duck Race and the TV Auction. To raise funds they held a Bake Sale, Waffle Breakfast and a Dance. Jim Bowie and Tom Moore were responsible for forming a new Club at Lisgar High School and the teacher- advisor, Heiz Paryas and the school Principal Ian MacDonald, helped the Club to grow. The Key Club District Convention was held in Ottawa this year and 15 members of the Nepean High School attended. Most members of the Key Clubs helped out at the Duck Race. Carleton University Circle K Club grew in leaps and bounds this year and the Club stalwarts, Ray Everett and Cedric Tilma, helped raise the membership to 40 students. • Major Emphasis Program Committee Chairman Sam Bhargava reported that the theme for this year is “Achieve by Believing”; it addresses the needs of underprivileged children. Six bursaries of $1,000 each were awarded to the deserving students proceeding to University, including one student who is disabled; we hosted lunch for the Ontario Games for the Disabled.

206 We spent very close to 200 man-hours on the Major Emphasis projects and our actual Committee expenditure for this year has been $10,650. • Medical Foundation Committee Chairman George Perrin reported that Vince Colizza headed a Committee to run a Grey Cup Party at the Civic Centre which netted the Foundation $73,150. The Grey Cup Party, held at Lansdowne Park prior to the Grey Cup Game was, what could have been a riot, turned into a great night. Prior to the event, 1000 tickets had been sold at $25.00 per person but when football fans started arriving in Ottawa and looking for a party, they landed on our doorstep! We only purchased enough beer for 1000 people but over 4,200 showed up. Luckily for us Mayor Jim Durrell was a member of our Club and, when he was approached with our dilemma, he gave the order to break into the beer trucks which were on hand for the next day’s Grey Cup game – this saved the night and helped us prevent what could have been a real disaster. A Night at the Races raised $6,574 thanks to organization by Alan Smith and Richard Clayman’s efforts. Additional revenues were received through In Memoriams ($4,565) and other donations ($5,289), while investment income amounted to $43,631. Proceeds of a Donated Painting and an Antique Car sold in the TV Auction for $18,476 for a total revenue of $151,081. During the year we supported 5 projects totalling $60,867. The total support of projects by the Foundation since its inception nine years ago is $340,411. • Membership Committee Chairman David Urie reported that 23 new members were inducted and 13 were lost through illness, business pressures, transfers, etc. Membership at the end of the year was 236. We mourned the passing of three long time members – Arnt Loa, Vic Castledine and Jim Preston. Miracle Network Teleton (DUCK RACE) Committee Chairman Les Warren reported that the goal was to sell 70,000 tickets and raise funds for the purchase of angiographic equipment for the Children’s Hospital and that goal was achieved; a cheque for $225,000 was presented to CHEO on the Miracle Network Telethon. Ticket sales distributions were set up in Shopping Malls, in Royal Banks and at Bell Canada – through their various branches they sold over 5,000 tickets each. Kiwanis members, the Duck line, through Direct Mail Campaign, through the Children’s Hospital, local GM automobile dealers and other financial institutions the rest of the tickets were sold. The day’s events included a parade, events for children including children’s rides, a petting zoo, clowns, tethered hot air balloons, music, etc. We also introduced a new event this year being a V.I.D. (Very Important Duck) Brunch which was sponsored by the Royal Bank of Canada. Tickets were sent to various business groups to sell and these people in turn were invited to participate in the brunch. A total of $70,000 in prizes were awarded to the holders of the first 10 winning tickets in the Duck Race. • Music Committee Chairman Peter Laverdiere reported that the Committee presentations included TV Auction Appreciation Day, Christmas Family Party, Rubber Duck Race Kick-Off, St. Pat’s Day, Salvation Army Red Shield Appeal Luncheon and St. Valentine’s Day serenade to our ladies. Outside activities included visits to the Parkinson’s Society Christmas Party and the annual St. Pat’s Seniors Home barbecue. Vital Statistics honoured Eddy Cook, John Norton, Paul Dyck, Ken Birchall, Eric Hutchingame, Robert Houle and Gary Connolly – all new Dads. As usual, Sol and Mark Max and Harry Brown maintained their outstanding contributions and Mark Max wrote the welcome song for the new Kanata Kiwanis Club which he presented to them at their Charter Night.

207 • Music Festival Committee Chairman Darrell Powell reported that the 1989 Festival was held in two parts – the Dance Program which ran for one week and the Music Program which ran for two weeks at seven different locations. Our Club organized and scheduled all Chairpersons and door help for the complete Festival; we received help from most of the other Clubs but we played a key role in the manpower area. We arranged the pick up and return of the Adjudicators to and from their hotel to the competitions, organized the Music Highlights Concert, booked the halls for the 1990 Festival and numerous other duties which came up. • Program Committee Chairman John O’Neil advised that the mandate of this Committee is to arrange the Head Table and to assure the appearance and performance of a guest speaker or entertainer at each of the 52 Club meetings. Some of the program highlights included: TV Auction Appreciation Day, Ladies Day with Governor General Jeanne Sauve as speaker; Dr. Shirley Thompson, Director, National Art Gallery, Murray Dryden, Sleeping Children Around the World, Toastmasters Special, Red Shield Luncheon with Rt. Hon. , Jo-Anne Polak, General Manager, Ottawa Rough Riders, Dr. Jim Frank, VP Conference Board of Canada, Mayor Jim Durrell, Jean Pigott, Chairman National Capital Commission and Eugene Whelan on “Democracy, Russian and the World”. • Public Relations Committee Chairman Ted Horton reported that, through the efforts of Bob Kingham, we designed a new logo for our Club which currently adorns our Club’s aprons and will see expanded use in the future. We prepared and distributed media kits in connection with some of our speakers, with our TV Auction and with the Duck Race. We were extremely delighted with the article which appeared in the August issue of the International Kiwanis Magazine (300,000 circulation) on our Duck Race. We provided photographs to our guest speakers, presented a trophy and photographs to the Ottawa Y Olympic Swim Club and trophy recipient. • Senior Citizens Committee Chairman Allison Walsh reported that that we again hosted a Christmas Dinner at the Donald Street Seniors Residence, purchased 12 tickets for each of the 3 Orpheus productions while Tom Spence and Surgenor’s provided a mini bus to transport 8 residents of different Senior Citizen Homes to each performance accompanied by a Kiwanian and his lady – thanks to Linus and Dorothy James, Pierre and Debbie Ranger and Dave and Mary Daubney who looked after this. We provided a barbecue for the senior residents at St. Patrick’s Home – our members cooked and served the dinner and the Music Committee provided the entertainment. Again 16 Kiwanians served coffee, doughnuts and cookies in the Senior Citizens Hospitality Centre at the Carp Fair, assisted by local Girl Guides and we manned the Story Book Farm. We again sponsored the “Ya Gotta Have Heart” activity, joining with other Kiwanis Clubs in contributing to the $5,000 cost of a video to be used in connection with the airing of the program on CBOT TV. $2,585 was contributed towards the furnishing of the living room at Ellwood House, a seniors residence. One of the most successful undertakings of our Club in recent years was the establishment of a community centre for seniors in the Carlingwood Shopping Centre, the “Kiwanian Alex Dayton Seniors Activity Centre”. An amount of $100,000 was contributed by local Kiwanis Clubs of which our Club pledged $30,000 payable over 2 years. We again supported 5 people on the Life Line Program and provided $361 as the balance required to purchase a special wheelchair for a diabetic patient, being one quarter of the cost, the Ontario government paid the other three quarters.

208 • Soup Kitchen Live Committee Chairman Bill Baker reported on another successful event. Although rainy weather kept many fans away, we are proud to report that over $65,000 in money and food and clothing donations were collected. There were two new initiatives this year: a barbecue pit which served hamburgers and drinks which raised over $3,000 and a program which outlined who was playing at what stage and when. • Spiritual Aims and International Affairs Committee Chairman Ron Petersen reported that this Committee was very busy this year – following are the projects they completed: $1,500 to Foster Children Project, $500 to the Arnt Loa Music Scholarship, $5,000 to Clergy Bursaries, $1,000 to Sleeping Children Around the World, $10,000 to purchase Sewing Machines for a Jamaica school, $500 to worthwhile High School Students to send them on a Canada World Youth Program, $250 to send University students to the United Nations Association meeting in Moscow, $200 to Dr.Yang Zhangji, at Chinese-Canadadian Institute in Beijing and $280 for transportation of Murray Dryden to speak to our Club. We encourage our members to go on trips to other countries with Mr. Dryden – Tom Belton has already gone on one. • TV Auction Committee Chairman Tom Spence reported that the 26th Annual TV Auction was the best ever with over $200,000 raised and over 400 items Auctioned off with a total retail value of approximately $420,000 which were sold for $260,000. 106 different members solicited items for theAuction ; 105 Kiwanians led a total of 171 volunteers who worked all day at the Auction. We raised the minimum value of each item to $300 from $200; we published a catalogue, listing all the items, which was distributed twice to every Ottawa household, once 3 weeks before the Auction and again one week before. We sold 131 Entertainment 90 Coupon Books netting $42,306 for the Medical Foundation; we sold over $20,000 worth of Car Raffle tickets (car cost $22,206, revenue $44,591); we packaged 5 Fantasy Items which sold for over $17,000 and we accepted pre-bids on major items. We moved the cut-off date for receipt of donor slips to June 30th...this date must stick as few Kiwanians realize the magnitude of work required after they have finished soliciting the items. Most of this falls on Shirley, our Administrative Secretary’s shoulders as she must first obtain the correct description of each of the 400 items, type the script for the catalogue, type the script for the Auctioneers, co-ordinate the filming of all items, co-ordinate the video taping that CJOH does, write the advertising script, etc. It would help immeasurably if Kiwanians turned their donor slips in early. Thanks to Tom Beveridge who chaired the “Big Hitters” Committee and increased the $1000+ items from 91 in 1988 to 126 in 1989. • Youth and Community Services Committee Chairman Henry Kryzywicki reported that his Committee addressed 113 requests and 44 received financial support. Major items were: $12,000 to the Ottawa Boys & Girls Club for cabin repairs, $1,296 to Options Bytown for a pool table; $2,041 to Interval House for furniture, $2,000 to Ottawa Valley Autistic Homes for furniture, $1,000 to the Snowsuit Fund, $1,180 to Christie Lake Camp and $2,500 to the YMCA for camperships, $2,300 to New Beginnings for Youth for engine repairs, $1,500 to the Ottawa Teaching and Learning Centre for a printer and software, $5,000 to the Head Injury Association for computers and $1,000 to Birthright for advertising. Many other projects were funded with a total for the year of $54,673.

210 1989-90 President Larry Haffner Special Activities

• Major Emphasis Committee completed a project to assist the Youth Services Bureau to purchase a building to house their Centre 313 drop-in facility. Our Club approved a five year, $100,000 loan to the YSB and the Royal Bank provided the balance of the financing to allow the $436,000 purchase to close. Centre 313 moved to 465 McLaren Street. The Centre’s operating budget allows it to readily cover mortgage payments, as it had previously covered rents. These funds now go toward building equity in a centrally located real estate investment and providing a facility to be used by youth for years to come. The Grand Opening was held on June 21, 1990 with a plaque representing our involvement in the project being proudly displayed as President Larry Haffner dedicated the Centre with our International Theme. Club Activities

• Agriculture, Conservation and Environment Committee Chairman Barry Young reported that the winner of the Ottawa Winter Fair Kiwanis trophy was Tracy Beknke from Renfrew County. The Carp Pancake Supper was another sell-out with our own Tom Belton as speaker. In March our Club hosted 60 4-H delegates from across Canada and again gave them a tour of the City. As an Environmental Project this year we contracted with the City of Ottawa for the distribution of composters. Members of our Committee, Club members and some family members distributed 5,500 composters to city residents from two locations for a profit of under $8,000. We arranged for Duncan Barry, Waste Management Co-ordinator for the City to inform us on the problems of handling waste and where the City is headed in waste management. We again managed the Story Book Farm at the Carp Fair and provided Senior Citizens with coffee, tea, cookies and donuts in the Kiwanis Seniors Pavilion, as well as apples donated by Bob Alyea. • Air Cadets Committeee Chairman Ken Miller was pleased that the Squadron had a very successful year under the command of Major Rod Blakney. 46 cadets made a trip to Washington, D.C. with funds raised by the cadets through the sale of lifesavers for the second year. Our cadets hosted the Annual Inter-Squadron City Bonspiel, held dances and bush weekends. Many parents and numerous Kiwanians attended the Annual Mess Dinner held in June at the RCAF Officers’ Mess on Gloucester Street. • Benefit Dinner Committee Chairman Wayne French reported on the 29th Annual Benefit Dinner which continued to be a stag event and was held in June in the HMCS Carleton Drill Hall. It was decided that the meal would not be a gourmet style dinner so a Steak and Lobster Dinner was supplied by Dave Smith. The ticket price was $165.00 which was an increase of $15.00 over last year. It was a sell-out with all 400 tickets being sold. A new format for the draws was well received – Five cash draws of $500.00, a major draw of $2,500 and a new type of draw for $500.00. A new twist this year was that each guest received a barbecue apron as they were greeted at the door and this they kept as a souvenir. Sponsorships of the aprons were sold to various firms to cover the cost. Entertainment was provided by 3 comedians from Yuk Yuks but unfortunately they were not well received. A profit of $30,440 was achieved. • Education and Attendance Committee was chaired by Jake Klassen until his resignation from the Club in June; Tom Moore took on the chairmanship until the end of the year.

211 The Education Table at Friday luncheons was continued and a series of information items on attendance were prepared by the Committee for inclusion in the Bulletin. Past President Herb Armstrong inducted 18 new members into the Club and a similar induction was conducted by Tom Moore for 12 new members in July. Past President and Past Lt. Gov. Jack Gordon handled the Legion of Honour ceremony for 8 members. Past President Barry Weatherdon continued to keep the attendance records and worked closely with Vice President Dave Costford to transfer the record keeping on to a computer. • Inter-Club, Sports and Social Committee Chairman Vince Colizza reported that the Committee arranged close to 50 Interclubs during the year. A ski weekend was held at Mont Tremblant organized by Peter Laverdiere with 20 plus Kiwanians and their spouses and children in attendance. Our Club placed second in the District Curling Bonspiel in Brockville. During February and March a number of hockey games were held in Kanata involving Kiwanis members – a great opportunity for the senior members to challenge some of the newer members. Gilles Langlois created the first annual President’s Ball at the Chateau Laurier which drew over 225 people – very successful. An interclub was organized to Watertown, N.Y. to share in Canada/U.S.A. celebrations. Over 25 golfers attended an Interclub in Brockville. During the E.C. & C, Convention in Ottawa in August, our Committee worked very diligently to produce an ”Evening on the Island” - the event for 800 conventioneers attending the District Convention featured a steak dinner with entertainment under an open air tent on Victoria Island. The view of Parliament Hill from Victoria Island as the sun was setting was spectacular and would make all Canadians proud. 20 Kiwanians were hosted at the Cedars, Longboat Key in Sarasota Florida for golf, tennis and dinner. The Nicholds Family (Gerry, Hap and Barry) organized a fabulous evening event for the members. • Key Club & Circle K Committee Chairman Jim Bowie reported that Carleton University Circle K functioned well with some 24 members under the Presidency of Ray Everett (now an active member of our Kiwanis Club). A career day was held in September; $2,600 was raised from Christmas Fruit Basket Sales of which $1,420 was presented to Tom Belton for “Sleeping Children Around the World”, the balance going to the Club’s fund. Christmas Tree sales raised $400, $1,000 was raised for the Heart Fund, 500 tickets were sold for the Duck Race and $1,000 was raised for the “Colonel By Day Care Centre”. Lisgar Key Club, with 19 members, received its official Charter in February, 1990. They raised $1,000 for Sleeping Children Around the World, $1,714 for the Heart Fund, assisted the Juvenile Diabetes Foundation in their fund-raising efforts, put on a Bingo night at Glebe Seniors Home, raised $132 for the Humane Society, and assisted the Salvation Army in their one-night fund-raising blitz. Nepean Key Club – this past year was a difficult one for this Club with the loss (through graduation) of most of its strong members but Erin-Sue Bolling and her Executive are to be commended for attracting 20 new members. Their annual “Slave-Day” netted $145 for their Welfare Account, a Bake Sale and Waffle Breakfast netted $90 and $25 was raised for the United Way. An Inter-Club Social event (bowling and pizza) was a great success bringing together Kiwanis members, Circle K’ers and both Key Clubs together – over 40 participated and strong bonds were formed between members of all groups.

212 • Kiwanis Music Festival Committee Chairman John Norton reported that the Festival was again held in two parts, the Dance Program which ran for one week and the Music Program which ran for two weeks. Our Club secured the halls, organized the provision of chair and door persons (we received help from most of the Kiwanis Clubs in this area), provided the chair and door person manpower with the help of the Kiwanianne Club of Ottawa, organized and produced the Highlights Concert and booked the halls for the 1991 Festival. • Major Emphasis Committee Chairman David Fair reported that this year’s Major Emphasis theme was “Encourage Excellence”. We approached the School Boards of the Ottawa-Carleton region requesting suggestions for a competition by senior elementary school students. As a result, we held a Design and Technology Challenge whereby 4 of the 6 School Boards in the Ottawa- Carleton region sent teams to demonstrate their winning projects and to compete in the next challenge. Each team was given a limited list of materials and equipment to design and build, in 1 1/2 hours, a freestanding “Tower”, which would demonstrate a cantilever and be ultimately judged upon the mass it would support. A hotly contested competition was won by the team representing the Ottawa-Carleton French Language School Board. Six $1,000 bursaries were awarded, for the third year, one to each of the local Boards and one each to the Public and Separate Sector of the newly created French Board. A record 45 applications were received and 6 deserving candidates were chosen. Thanks to Johann Bellstedt who organized the bursary program, to Wayne Kendall and Bill Cowie who co- ordinated the YSB project and to Brian Dickey who co-ordinated the Design & Technology Challenge. • Medical Foundation Committee Chairman Howie McPherson reported that 3 projects, totalling $15,000 were approved this year with several other projects still under investigation. A generous donation was left by one of our members in his will and a letter was sent out to all members inviting them to make contributions either through cash donations or through wills and bequests – we also attached a copy of a codicil which could be included with their will. The Committee decided to cancel the Night at the Races for this year but were pleased to learn that Ian Hendry and his Committee organized one for October. • Membership Committee Chairman Chris Fournier reported that the Committee undertook the organization of a Member/Guest Day at a regular luncheon meeting – the subtitle for this meeting was “Celebrate Kiwanis”; a sub-committee chaired by Tom Pullen did a tremendous job and the meeting was a success. Members were asked to bring a guest who might be a potential member and the meeting took the form of a Head Table composed of different members identified with or deeply involved in certain of the Club’s key activities. Each member prepared a small outline of those activities, and described those activities to members and guests. 21 guests attended and follow-up has resulted in an introduction of a considerable number of new members. Under-classifications of membership were reviewed with a view to determining under-representation. These were published from time to time in the Bulletin in order to bring to the attention of the members those classifications that they might wish to have in mind when thinking of potential new members. A by-law was passed in 1990 amending our constitution to admit women to Kiwanis. However, this was not accepted easily. A motion was presented to the members at a Friday luncheon where a vote was taken and resulted in a 51 to 51 tie. The Board then, after much discussion with members, brought back an amendment which was approved on February 23, 1990. As a result of that amendment, our first women members were introduced led by our first Honorary woman member, Shirley Tomblin. Including Shirley, a total of 6 women were introduced during this year. Total membership at year end was 240 members – 170 Active, 8 Privileged, 47 Senior, 6 Honorary, 9 Honorary Chaplains and 2 Life (included in Privileged and Active). 19 new members joined and 14 resigned 213 • (3 deceased – Orv Boville, Reg Gilstorf and Hal Bennett). • Miracle Network Telethon (Duck Race) Committee Chairman Les Warren reported on the third annual Rideau Canal Duck Race for Tiny Hearts (he filled in as Chairman when Chairman Stephen Rosenburgh had to leave the city on a career placement). 90,000 tickets were sold and a cheque for $320,430 was presented to the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario on the Miracle Network Telethon. This now brings to over $720,000 the amount of money we have raised from the Duck Race on behalf of CHEO. Ticket sales were set up, as in the past e.g. Shopping Malls, Kiwanis and Kiwanianne members, Royal Bank of Canada, Bell Canada, direct mail,etc. The tagging of the ducks was spearheaded by Brian Reinke and his wife Dallas and the operation was completed in record time. We again held the V.I.D. (Very Important Duck) Brunch sponsored by the Royal Bank of Canada in the morning of the race and over 35,000 people attended the launch of the race at 1 p.m. at Hartwell Locks. The winning ducks were selected within 1/2 hour of the start. • Music Committee Chairman Eddie Cook reported that the following presentations were made: Carolling at the Family Party, at the Ellwood Senior’s Home and at St. Vincent’s Hospital with Peter Laverdiere leading, for the 75th Anniversary luncheon of our Club, St. Valentine’s Day roses and songs for our special ladies, St.Patrick’s Day, for our very first new “female” member, Shirley Tomblin led by Sol Max, sing song and welcome for Governor Eric Kingston, Vital Statistics for Vince Colizza, Peter Finnegan, Martin Diegel and John Pigott – all new fathers. Thanks to Sol Max, Harry Brown, Dominic D’Arcy, Norm Torontow and Peter Laverdiere who all led us in music during the year. • Program Committee Chairman David Daubney reported that the task of finding interesting programs, 52 Friday luncheons a year and 52 speakers a year is a formidable one. Particularly noteworthy were reports from Kiwanians who travelled under the auspices of the Sleeping Children project – Vince and Elinor Calzonetti, Fred and Kathy Rendell, Bill Shenkman, Bill Baker and Ian Peddie to the Philippines, Andre Proulx, Richard Clayman and Steve Rosenburg to Mozambique and Tom Belton (6 times) to Columbia. This year we ventured from time to time from the Chateau to the Westin Hotel for our annual Red Shield luncheon, to the Museum of Natural Sciences for the Governor’s visit, to the new Regional Municipality of Ottawa-Carleton Headquarters, to the Convention Centre in Hull for the District Convention and to the new Museum of Civilization for a meeting which included viewing the spectacular Omnimax film at the Museum. Highlight speakers were Hartley Steward, Publisher of the Ottawa Sun,The Hon. John McDermid, Minister of State who spoke on the GST, , Ottawa Senators, Dr. Ian Halliday, Voyageur Space Probe, Carleton Circle K Inauguration with Frank Augustyne as speaker, Rev. Barry McGrory on the 75th Anniversary of Kiwanis, Idris Reid, High Commissioner for the Bahamas, Danny O’Boyle on St. Patrick’s Day, Red Shield Luncheon with Ben Wicks and the Rough Rider luncheon. • Public Relations Committee Chairman Bob Kingham reported that an edition of the KiwaNews was published, several Club publications were updated and are now available in a new display case at the Friday luncheons. Our new logo which was designed by Bob Kingham was used a number of times including the KiwaNews, golf hats, Club letterhead, aprons, etc. and the Board of Directors have indicated that they plan to have the logo registered. Material was provided to, and subsequently published, in the Kiwanis International Magazine regarding Frank Augustyne who was a guest speaker at one of our luncheons.

214 Lapel pins displaying our new logo were produced and are now available, free of charge, to our members. Flyers and other promotional material were prepared for the Club’s Design and Technology Challenge in both English and French. Media information was prepared for all our fund raising events. • Senior Citizens Committee Chairman Ron Vincent reported that during the year we provided 12 tickets for each of the three performances of Orpheus with transportation provided by Tom Spence and Surgenor’s; each performance was hosted by a Kiwanian and spouse. Thanks to Peter Patafie and Norm Torontow who once again provided the Christmas Dinner at the Donald Street Seniors Residence and to the many members and their families who helped serve the meal. The Committee organized two barbecues during the summer, one at St. Patrick’s Home and one at the Thorncliffe Residence with Peter Patafie and Fred Rendell handling the food and theMusic Committee providing the entertainment. $1,500 was matched by the Youth & Community Services Committee to provide camperships to residents of St. Vincent’s Hospital. We again supported the Life Line project by providing $3,000 to the Elizabeth Bruyere Centre to ensure that the service would be supplied to needy recipients living alone. We provided the luncheon for 300 seniors attending the day long Health Awareness Seminar. We contributed $1,000 as seed money for the Seniors Orientation Program, this pilot project provided training for 60 persons who were serving in volunteer positions in various agencies and seniors facilities throughout the city, and $100 to the Council on Aging to assist with transportation of seniors during the June Senior Citizens Festival. A new project, planned and coordinated by Peter Patafie and David Daubney was a visit to Rideau Hall, initiated by the Committee to allow seniors from various local residences to attend an afternoon tea with the Governor General. Transportation was provided by our members. Once again we participated in the Carp Fair by staffing the Seniors Pavilion. • Kiwanis Soup Kitchen Live Committee Chairman Peter Mercer reported on the 5th year of this annual event held on the Rideau Mall. It raised over $60,000 in cash, clothing and food donations and over $300,000 for the Ottawa Food Bank since its inception. This year the Ottawa Rough Riders staged an event at one of their home games to help our project. • Spiritual Aims and International Affairs Committee Chairman Buck Madden reported that, through the efforts of the late Reg Gilstorf, we again participated in the Salvation Army Christmas Kettle Campaign, we distributed the Directory of Churches and Synagogues and arranged the weekly schedule for Padres. We continued our support of Foster Parents to several children in the Philippines through the Salvation Army and the Sleeping Children Around the World project was supported financially. We helped the medical students from the University of Ottawa during their trip to Africa by way of five solar panels that were left at five remote villages – the panels provided emergency light at the village hospital. • TV Auction Committee Chairman Tom Beveridge reported that the 27th Annual TV Auction brought in revenue of $380,000 and $205,000 in expenditures for a net profit of $175,000. 385 items with a total value of $340,000 were donated by more than 350 community minded businesses – all of these solicited by 103 members with special mention made of Tom Grossman who led the Club again this year with 23 items, Tom Spence brought in 13 and Les Warren and Ted Small each had 12 items – Chairman Tom Beveridge was responsible for 21 items! The Major Items Committee under sub-chairman Vic Reed secured 118 items with a total value of over $250,000. Our five Fantasy items brought in $7,500. We are grateful to our major sponsor this year, the National Bank of Canada who contributed $15,000 towards our Auction and this gave them advertising on the T Shirts, tent and wall cards as well as special on- air mention throughout the Auction and on the front cover of the Auction catalogue.

215 88 Kiwanians led a total of 153 volunteers who worked from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. the day of the Auction to fill all positions asAuction eers, runners, deliverers, food servers, bid posters, telephone operators, invoicers, credit checkers, cashiers, supervisors, etc. We are grateful to the CJOH staff who again led us through another successfulAuction ; their patience in working with a group of “non professionals” always amazes us. Something new was added this year – a raffle of a $51,000 Nissan 300 ZX and other prizes and the advertising and promotion firm of Hewson-Bridge and Smith offered to produce a TV commercial for the sale of the tickets. With their help 1285 raffle tickets were sold at $100 each. Thanks to Peter Laverdiere who co-ordinated this endeavour. Profit on the raffle was $56,824. For the second year in a row our TV Auction catalogue was distributed to most households in our area. Although our aim was to sell more advertising in the catalogue to help cover the cost, we again fell short and it cost us $8,000 – although we still feel it was money well spent. Botho Von Hampeln and the Time Group were responsible for selling a large number of our car raffle tickets and received hundreds of pre-bids through their special phone system – at no cost to the Club. • Youth & Community Services Committee Chairman John O’Neill reported that the Committee received more than 150 requests for assistance and 50 of these were approved for support by the Club for a total of $54,834.

• Agriculture, Conservation and Environment Committee Chairman Barry Nicholds reported that the Ottawa Winter Fair trophy was awarded to Chris O’Rourke of Lanark County, the Champion Senior Beef Showperson. The annual Carp Pancake Supper was chaired by our Club this year and the guest speaker was Michael O’Brien of CFRA. Thanks to John Cole for his donation of flowers which were presented to the ladies serving at the supper. In April we hosted some 60 delegates from the 4-H Council across Canada who were in Ottawa to attend the 4-H Council Student Convention. 16 of our members took them on a tour of the City which included a stop for lunch. The highlight was a visit to Rideau Hall arranged by the Governor General, organized by Guy Beauregard. The Story Book Farm at the Carp Fair continues to be a popular exhibit where we sell milk, ice cream bars and apples (donated by Bob Alyea). Thanks to Jim Anderson for all his work on both the Pancake Supper and Carp Fair. We supplied a book “2 Minutes a Day to a Greener Planet” for a draw prize at the Friday luncheon. We instituted, with the help of Mike Sharp, what we hope will be a yearly ‘Environmental Scholarship’ awarded to a graduating student from an Ottawa Board of Education High School in order to aid him/her to continue his/her contribution in protecting the environment. This year’s winner was Stepan Reinecke, a truly deserving winner. • Air Cadets Committeee Chairman Ken Miller reported that the past year was one of transition, Major Rod Bleakney resigned as Commanding Officer in June and was replaced by Captain Bryan Healey. The squadron strength was around 60 cadets and this number increased to 90 at the start of the cadet year in September. Two cadets obtained their flying scholarships and one a gliding scholarship. The squadron went on two bush weekends, participated in Remembrance Day Parades, sports competition and hosted an inter-squadron curling bonspiel and assisted with the Duck Race and TV Auction. • Benefit Dinner Committee Chairman Wally Langley reported on this, the 30th Anniversary of the Benefit Dinner. Entitled “A Taste of Canada” the event was held in the Grand Hall of the Canadian Museum of Civilization and was catered by Hurley’s Entertainment was supplied by J.J.

The Education Table was continued at Friday meetings with a Board member included to make all members aware of the workings of the Board and the Club. “Did You Know” items were included in the weekly bulletin. New members were encouraged to attend Board meetings, sit at the Head Table and mix at the luncheons to make them feel more welcome by the membership. • Inter-Club, Sports and Social Committee Chairman Gilles Langlois reported that Ottawa Kiwanians participated in a Squash Tournament with the Carleton University Circle K and Kiwanians were victorious.

The Club was involved in the Duck Race and the Sleeping Children Around the World project; Tom Belton addressed a school assembly on this subject. 9 members attended the District Convention and Rocco D’Angelo and his spouse accompanied them on this trip. A setback was encountered when the President of Circle K resigned and no one was available to replace him. Gary Connolly and John Norton took on the task of finding a faculty or university staff to take on the role of Circle K Advisor. The search is still on for new members. Members of the Committee enthusiastically endorsed the nomination of Tony Pelosse to receive the KEY OF HONOUR from Key Club International to recognize his more than 25 years of dedication to Key Clubs and Kiwanis but we were saddened to learn of his passing during this year before this could be done. • Kiwanis Music Festival Committee Chairman Ron Williams was pleased that the Ottawa Music and Dance Festival Association named the Festival “The Ottawa Kiwanis Music and Dance Festival” this year in honour of our number of years of support.

218 Two bursaries, totalling $900 have been donated honouring Arnt Loa and Bill Navan. This event is not a fund-raiser; the Festival is run on a budget of $122,000 and gets its income from entry fees, ticket and program sales, donations from about 70 donors and benefactors and, this year for the first time, a grant of $12,500 from the City of Ottawa. For the Music Festival our Club secures the halls, co-ordinates the people power for the 9 other Clubs which participate with us, recruit the Chairpersons and Monitors, prepare the Highlights Concert program and stage-manage it (for the last two years this has been done almost single-handedly by John Norton) and attend to all the stray details like laying and lifting portable dance floors and moving music stands, etc.... all this done by 309 “session persons”, split among 10 Kiwanis Clubs; our own Club supplied 56 volunteers. For the Dance Festival the labour requirements were more modest since there was only a single venue and 34 “session persons” handled this. The grand total for both events totalled 355 people, of this, 102 came from our Club alone. There were 1,960 entrants in the Dance Festival with paid admissions of $2,100 and 4,600 in the Music Festival. In summary, we helped, at no money-cost to the Club, about 8,000 young persons to participate in two Festivals; our thanks to Con Stoltz and his Management Committee for this. John Law was “member emeritus” and helped particularly with his experience and advice from many previous years of running this Committee. • Major Emphasis Commmittee Chairman Ross McHardy advised that “Young Children Priority One” is this year’s theme of Kiwanis International. For the 2nd year in a row we supported Our Kids Community Day and “Our Kids”, a non-profit organization. Sam Bhargava co-chaired this Committee and helped organize the Children’s Community Day, at the end of the Week of the Child and was a huge success in attracting 15,000 people. The Design and Technology Challenge, co-chaired by Peter Nadeau and designed by Dave Costford, involved to design and construct a transportation system to carry a fresh egg, uncracked and unbroken a maximum distance. This was won by the Ecole Elementaire Publique Séraphin-Marion with a distance of 34’,9 1/4”. We completed the fourth year of offering bursaries to deserving local high school students; a total of 6 bursaries were offered - this was handled by Johann Bellstedt. Following our commitment from last year to help purchase a building to house the 313 Drop-in facility at 465 MacLaren Street for the Youth Services Bureau, we forwarded $15,000 as part of our 5 year commitment. • Medical Foundation Committee Chairman Ian Hendry reported that the Night at the Races was resurrected with a profit of $4,240.

This year in order to minimize the labour intensive components of previous Duck Race events, a software project management tool, MacProject 11 was utilized. As well, the use of a bar code was introduced to number each duck, rather than manually installing a numbered collar around each duck. What formerly took 2600 volunteer hours, has now been reduced to a maximum of 60 hours. $93,000 worth of prizes were offered; a paddle boat race held on Race day where teams of media personalities competed for a prize donated by the Royal Bank added a pleasant attraction. Special thanks to Coach Quackie, alias Peter Patafie and his handler, Wayne French for putting a smile on a lot of Tiny Hearts. • Music Committee co-chaired by Sol Max and Norm Torontow were busy with presentations to welcome Incoming President Brian Reinke and his Board with “Rinky Dinky Do”, TV Appreciation Day, Family Party, Vital Statistics to new babies born to Winston and Lori Fogarty, David & Sharon Dolson, Nora and Robert Houle, Lisa & Peter Nadeau and chosen son for Cathy and Fred Rendell, tribute to Bill Shenkman and Maureen Brodie on the occasion of their marriage, Parkinson’s Christmas Party and visits to four Senior Homes for a summer barbecue. • Program Committee Chairman Ron Petersen reported on the responsibility of this Committee to provide a program fifty-two weeks of the year for our Club, to ensuring that we have a Head Table every Friday and that we have a Marshall to welcome the Head Table to start off the luncheon.

A video on our Duck Race ran continuously during this event and drew thousands of interested members; these videos were offered at $10.00 each and orders were taken for hundreds of them following the Convention.

• Air Cadets Committeee Chairman Ed Healey reported that the past year was very successful under the command of Captain Bryan Healey. This year marked the 50th anniversary of the formation of the211 Air Cadet Squadron and the 50th year of Kiwanis sponsorship. The squadron strength was over 60 cadets; 4 cadets received scholarships for this past sumer and 25 cadets attended summer camps. The cadets participated in Kiwanis and civic events including Winterlude, Senior Citizens Luncheon, Cycle for the Civic, March from Kingston for CHEO, TV Auction, For the Love of Canada Luncheon, in addition to their regular training, bush weekends, a visit to the Military Installations in Kingston, sporting events and Remembrance Day Ceremonies at the Westboro Kiwanis. In recognition of their 50th anniversary, a Wings Flight was taken to Kitty Hawk, N.C. USA by two cadets and an instructor with Mayor Jackie Holzman seeing them off; at the annual inspection the cadets received special congratulations from the Governor General and from the Minister of National Defence and at the annual Kiwanis luncheon a special ceremony was held to mark the event and the commandant of Royal Military College was the guest speaker. • Benefit Dinner Committee Chairman Ev Colton reported that the 31st Annual Benefit Dinner was held at the Canadian Museum of Civilization with an excellent meal catered by Le Cercle Universitaire d’Ottawa. A problem arose when the Quebec location gave us a problem with the logistics of the draw as we found out we could not obtain a Quebec draw permit and were only given an Ontario permit if we guaranteed that the draw would be physically made in Ontario. Our thanks to Mike St. Louis who provided us with video and sound transmision from the Chateau Laurier where the draw was held to large screens on the stage of the Museum. We used a Wheel of Fortune format at the Chateau Laurier to determine the draw winners which was in turn broadcast across the river to the Museum. The assembled group of over 300 people had an excellent evening while helping us to raise $20,000 for Kiwanis charities. • Celebrity Skate/Winterlude Committee Chairman Ted Horton reported on this, the first such event as a fundraiser for our Club. We feel the name “Lansdome” should be retained particularly as we have invested approximately $12,000 in signage, bibs, headbands, etc. We feel that the main focus next year should be during the two weekends of Winterlude, leaving the week days available to other groups to stage various events. We would run the food and beer concessions during the week and limit hours of operation to evenings.

223 Hurley’s is enthusiastic about involvement in the food side of this project next year. Financially we were disappointed with the results but we do believe that we accomplished a great deal as a start-up operation and see the ability to generate significant revenues in years to come. • Duck Race Committee Chairman Bill Cowie reported that a record $335,000 was donated to CHEO from this year’s race bringing out total contribution in 5 years to $1.4 million. We were encouraged by the participation from all area Clubs from Divisions 12 and 13, highlighted by the Orleans/Kanata challenge. The million $$$ Duck, Coach Quackie and our little yellow ducklings were a marketing bonanza for the media and out ticket sellers; we were completely sold out by 6 pm on the eve of Race Day. “Duck Soup” held March 28th with 3,000 children and their parents in attendance highlighted $93,000 worth of prizes and their corporate donors. Shoppers Drug Mart joined our team of sponsors and exceeded their 10,000 ticket sales commitment, as did the Royal Bank (over 20,000 sold), Carlingwood Seniors (over 12,500), Bell Canada (over 5,000) and Canada Trust (over 3,000). The Royal Bank/Hurley’s V.I.D. Brunch and the Paddleboat Races made this the greatest race day of all! • Education & Attendance, House & Telephone Committee Chairman Pierre Ranger reported that the function of this Committee grew as it accepted responsibility for house effects each Friday. One member of the Committee took on the responsibility at the beginning of each month of finding greeters and guest book person for our luncheons.

A tour of the city was arranged with a special visit to Rideau Hall hosted by the Governor General. A luncheon reception completed the day organized by Guy Beauregard. This year our role was expanded to include the Seniors Pavilion as well as the Storybook Farm at the Carp Fair.

This year’s winner of the Environmental Scholarship was Lochiang Cheng of Hillcrest High School. • Inter-Club, Sports and Social Committee Chairman Buck Madden reported that the goal was to organize 4 Interclubs per month and we generally succeeded with the exception of the summer months.

Bob Vergette herded us again into a bus for another trip to Montreal to watch the Habs and North Stars. The President’s Ball was held in the Adam Room of the Chateau Laurier with the After-Party for 70 couples hosted by Gary Burns, Gord Fleming, Wayne French and Tom Pullen.

The funds raised from these projects went towards the District Convention, Sleeping Children Around the World and for sponsoring the school’s Foster Child. Members collected 2700 cans of food to help the Food Bank and assisted the Kiwanis Club in all their projects. This could not have happened without the support of Kiwanian Howie Lithwick and Mrs. Judith Safran, the teacher Advisor. Lisgar High School Key Club held a membership drive which resulted in increasing the membership to 22. A pizza sale raised $170; $500 was raised for the Red Shield Appeal and a pancake breakfast resulted in the proceeds being donated to the United Way. Carleton University Circle K ended the year with 21 members. A Halloween bake sale raised $163 for the Snowsuit Fund and our own Ken Nelson volunteered to be Santa Claus during their Christmas tree sale, an event which raised $203 for the Snowsuit Fund. Robert Houle and Doreen Conrad worked very hard to try to reactivate the Glebe Collegiate Key Club but the teachers strike and the loss of a very enthusiastic Advisor resulted in our not being able to establish a Club during this year. Our Committee was pleased to learn that the late Tony Pelosse was posthumously awarded the “Key of Honour” at the International Key Club Convention in Toronto – only on one previous occasion in 1958 had a Canadian received this highest honour from Key Club International. • Kiwanis Music Festival Committee Chairman Winston Fogarty was pleased that over 4000 young persons participated in both the Dance and Music Festival this year. 130 ‘session persons’ handled all events for the Dance Festival and the Music Festival required over 240 ‘session persons’. We are grateful to the other 10 local Kiwanis Clubs as well as the Rideau and Ottawa Kiwaniannes who were on hand during the entire event. This year’s Highlights Concert was held at the Centrepointe Theatre with over 300 people in attendance – an event staffed exclusively by members of the Kiwanis Club of Ottawa. • Major Emphasis Committee Chairman Peter Nadeau reported that this year’s theme was “Young Children – Priority One”. Once again we contributed to the funding of the OUR KIDS Community Day; the Kiwanis Design and Technology Challenge saw each of the Boards of Education sending 2 teams of grade seven and eight students to compete in the competition arranged again by our own Dave Costford. The competitors were required to build a “bridge” with a specific number of popscicle sticks and other materials which would best withstand the stress of weights to be hung from either end without being broken. Earlier on in the year Dominic D’Arcy expressed an interest in turning a song he wrote “Don’t Pay the Pusher” into an Anti-Drug video. We provided the seed money to promote the production of the video and through the efforts of Dominic and a generous donation of facilities and expertise from Marc Productions, a local production company, the video was completed. Again this year, as part of a 5 year commitment to fund the purchase of a building for the Youth Services Bureau, we donated $15,000. • Medical Foundation Committee Chairman Ian Hendry reported that two “Night at the Races” were held during the year which netted $15,000; the Entertainment Books brought in $5,474, $15,218 was received through donations, $53,1487 from interest and $200 from miscellaneous. 225 • Membership Committee Chairman Ross Hadwen reported that 5 women and 22 men were recruited during the year.

In terms of entertainment, the Unity Luncheon held at the Congress Centre with Laurier LaPierre as speaker, was certainly a highlight of our year.

The Communi-K was conceived as an internal newsletter published at the beginning of each month and contained highlights of the previous month’s activities; a calendar of events for the following month’s activities was included in the Commni-K. The greatest contribution to this initiative belongs to Andre Proulx and Bruce Killen who produced each edition. A new design for the Club’s banner patch was developed with the assistance of Mark Max. It is available for Club members when visiting other Kiwanis Clubs and is normally attached to the host Club’s Kiwanis banner to commemorate a member’s visit. A Kiwanis Coffee Mug was made available with our impressive Club logo. A Media Relations Sub-Committee, chaired by Peter Andrews was established to coordinate & facilitate the Club’s media activities. • Senior Citizens Committee Chairperson Marcia Sachs reported that the Music Committee entertained the residents of St. Patrick’s Home, then Seniors from the Rideau Veterans Home joined a group from St. Pat’s for a tour of Ottawa and Hull’s Christmas lights – thanks to Eddy Cook who organized this.

In March, over 400 seniors enjoyed a tea party in the Ballroom of the Chateau Laurier as guests of our Club. They were entertained by Harry Brown and Sol Max, as well as the R.C.M.P Bison Band. Special guests were Her Excellency Mrs. Hnatyshyn, Mayor Jackie Holzman and Max Keeping. Thanks to Emma Grell, Rick Carbonneau and their capable Committee for this event. In June Her Excellency Mrs Hnatyshyn invited 140 seniors for tea at Government House; Claude Emery did an excellent job in coordinating this event. Summer Barbecues were held at Asher Place and St. Pat’s Home and our Committee members, joined by dedicated Kiwanians, cooked and served great dinners. 226 In August Fred and Kathy Rendell graciously hosted a barbecue for 20 Seniors from Thorncliffe Home and the Rideau Veterans Home. $3500 was again allocated for the Bruyere Lifeline. • Spiritual Aims & International Affairs Committee funded theology bursaries for 5 students at St. Paul’s University in the amount of $5,000; raised $3,423 from the staffing of the Salvation Army Kettles and provided $600 for the Arnt Loa Music Festival Scholarship. $2,500 was provided to fund day-care services in the Philippines in co-ordination with the Kiwanis Club of Antipolo, Philippines. We sponsored 7 children through the Salvation Army Program and one through the Foster Parents Plan of Canada at a cost of $1,600. We provided $2,000 to supply clean water to the people of Uson, Philippines through the Watercan Project. • TV Auction Committee Chairman Larry Nelms reported that Ken Birch was appointed Executive Director for the Auction this year to coordinate the activities and enhance the presentation of the Auction to the public and he did an excellent job. It was a record year for the number of items donated – a total of 466 items with a gross retail value of $425,000 went to Auction and were sold for $248,000. The National Bank once again was our major sponsor and contributed $18,500 to the event. Instead of a car raffle this year, we were able to exchange a donation of a vintage replica vehicle to the CHEO Foundation in return for $80,000. The total net receipts to our Club were approximately $200,000 after expenses. Innovations made to this year’s Auction included the design and implementation of a computer assisted entry system to track the bidders and their bids. With some modifications this could improve the performance and net on Auction day. Also this year a special Travel Section was implemented; three telephone lines were used to exclusively promote 31 different travel items with a gross retail value of $56,000 and the net return was $41,000 or 73%. During one half hour period during the day, over 40,000 attempts to contact our operators were recorded by Bell Canada! • Ways & Means Committee Co-chairs Frank Tipper and Donna Hicks reported that the Committee evaluated 28 proposals throughout the year. Many were not suitable, too risky or too time consuming, however some were recommended such as the Winterlude program and Ride for Pride which were implemented this year. Octoberfest at Camp Fortune and the Rideau Canal Fishing Derby were slated for consideration next year. • Youth & Community Services Committee Chairman Johann Bellstedt reported that the Committee handled over 100 requests this year. Beneficiaries included the Youville Centre, the Snowsuit Fund, Christmas Exchange, the Carlingwood Community Resource Centre, the Caldwell Family Centre, the Pinecrest Community Services Centre and the Confederation Court Community House. A major donation was granted to the Russell Heights Family House, a low income housing group in Ottawa South for much needed renovations. Under the guidance of Bob Horlick, we once again assisted at the Citizenship Court and served coffee and cake to new Canadians monthly. We donated $1500 to assist with the acquisition of common room furniture for the St. Stephens Residence, a new residence for mentally challenged adults founded by St. Stephens Anglican Church

• Air Cadets Committeee Chairman Bill Siekierski reported on the 51st year of the 211 Air Cadet Squadron with Commanding Officer Bryan Healey at the helm. Highlight of the year was the Cadet Colour Guard with their Quebec counterparts who participated in the mammoth Kiwanis sponsored luncheon “For the Love of Canada”. The cadets raised $4,000 during the year and participated in theTV Auction, the Ride for Pride, Winterlude skate sharpening, Seniors Lunch and the Duck Race, culminating with the five day march from Petawawa to CJOH in Ottawa, under the direction of Ken Miller and regular forces Cpl Colin Campbell who raised over $6,000. A successful recruiting mission by Bill Taggart raised the Squadron membership to 80 members. The well attended Kiwanis Club Cadet luncheon in May was treated to the first official performance of our 12 member band which flourished under the guidance of Past President Mike Lundy; financial support for instruments was provided by individual Club members. • Benefit Dinner Committee Chairman John O’Neil reported on the 32nd Annual Benefit Dinner which was held at the Westin Hotel with over 600 people in support of both our Club and the Ottawa Lynx Baseball Club with whom we partnered for this dinner. In an attempt to renew the Benefit Dinner, the Committee decided to change the traditional format and was fortunate to be able to develop an event in concert with the launch of the new baseball Club in Ottawa. The ticket price was lowered to $125.00 and the guest speakers were Randy Mobley, President of the International League of Baseball, Max Patkin, Clown Prince of Baseball and Ferguson Jenkins; CJOH news anchorman Max Keeping did a professional job as Master of Ceremonies. Mayor Jim Durrell awarded the first ever annual Baseball Person of the Year Award to Howard Darwin, owner of the Lynx. Partial costs of the dinner were defrayed by the generosity of several sponsors who made cash or in-kind donations; these were 417 Nissan-Infinity; Niagara Brewing Co; Pepsi-Cola and the Embassies of South Africa, Chile, Argentina and Mexico. The dinner grossed $84,375; expenses were $52,749 leaving a net of $31,626 from which $17,000 was donated to the Boys & Girls Club. • Winterlude Committee Co-Chairs Peter Andrews and Ted Horton reported on the 2nd Winterlude Lansdome project; despite the challenges posed by bitter cold the first weekend and the worst snowstorm in years on the second weekend, the project resulted in some successful components. A. Celebrity Skate – over 30 teams participated with net revenues of $9,966 realized. B. Children’s Theatre – was a well attended daytime activity which drew over 3,000 viewers over the course of 9 days. The sponsorship of KOOL FM and Coca Cola basically offset the cost of the production of this event. We were fortunate to have the dedication and talent of Peter Evans and the Company of Children’s Theatre who produced and delivered an excellent stage review. This event provides great entertainment but does not create a major fund raising opportunity. C. Casino – resulted in a net profit of $1,717 despite the few participants who attended.

229 D. Evening Entertainment – The two major evening entertainment activities, Raccoons on Ice and Dennis Whittie were a failure. The risk associated with running this type of evening activity is not worth the return, particularly when the weather factor is taken into account. E. Winterlude Triathalon – was a positive one and is recommended for the future. F. Lansdome – Overall – Within the Lansdome a number of other activities were initiated such as Over the Line Baseball, Touch Football, Karioke Night, Food Sales, Bingo, etc. In that we have the “rights” to the Lansdome next year, we should explore the optional relationship available with major sponsors or event promotion companies. G. Bingo – failed to produce the anticipated returns and is recommended that this activity be discontinued. Thanks to the Kiwaniannes who made the daytime activities possible through their countless hours of participation, to Steve Moore who chaired the Celebrity Skate, Monique Archambault who managed the Children’s Theatre, to Mike Lundy who chaired the Bingo Committee and to Ken Nelson who was in charge of staffing. • Duck Race Committee Chairman Bob French reported on the 6th annual Kiwanis Duck Race for Tiny Hearts where a total of 91,228 tickets were sold generating a gross revenue of $456,140. A cheque in the amount of $338,125.65 was presented to CHEO on the Children’s Miracle Network Telethon. Once again this year the Ottawa corporate community provided us with over $93,000 worth of prizes with a car valued at $25,000 donated by Capital Driving Force – Dow Honda – Carling Motors – Walkley Nissan and Bytek Auto. The One Million Dollar Duck was sponsored by a cash donation of $10,000 by Corel. The Royal Bank again sponsored the VID Breakfast which was attended by over 390 guests. • Education & Attendance, House & Telephone Committee Chairman Tom Belton reported that the attendance records have now been computer programmed through the diligent efforts of Bruce Jones and are now being maintained in the Kiwanis Office. Two new member luncheons were handled by Keith McGruer. Environment and Agriculture Committee Chairman Mike Moore reported that, again this year, the Committee attempted to become more involved in environmental issues. An Environmental Scholarship of $1,000 was awarded to Andrew MacSkiming of Glebe High School. The Carp Pancake Supper was a success, as usual, with another good turnout. 70 4-H Club members from various parts of the country were hosted by our Club. They were taken on a tour of the City which included a visit to the Governor General’s residence. We again hosted the Senior’s Pavilion and the Storybook Farm at the Carp Fair. Over 1100 cups of coffee and 57 dozen cookies were served to the Seniors with help provided by the Girl Guides. At the Storybook Farm we again sold milk, ice cream bars and apples which were donated by Bob Alyea. Wally Langley was in charge of the staffing at both locations and Jim Anderson spent the entire time at the Fair and was a one-man organizational dynamo. • Inter-Club, Sports and Social Committee Chairman Glen Vaillancourt reported on a busy year with Sip & Skate organized by Frank Tipper, Hugh McKay and Don Blakslee with over 30 Kiwanians and friends in attendance; The Curling Bonspiel was held in Navan and planned by Jim Anderson, Bron Vasich and Barry Young, it attracted 16 teams from our Club and other Kiwanis Clubs; Ski Weekend organized by Gilles Langlois with 51 Kiwanians and ladies enjoying the hospitality of members at Mont Ste Marie. President’s Ball, again organized by Gilles Langlois was to celebrate our Club’s 75th Anniversary; 165 were in attendance at the Chateau Laurier to enjoy a fabulous meal, great entertainment and fun dancing; Sports Day at Amberwood in the hands of Jim Anderson, Jack Johannsen, Gerry Slobodian and Stan Greenwood was a sell-out;

230 Sports Weekend where Gilles Langlois, Frank Tipper, Jim Bowie and Jean Filion did their best for the wanna-be golfers, tennis players and card players to have a great day; Round Robin was planned by Jim Anderson, Jack Johannsen and Vic Reed and attended by 120 Kiwanians, spouses and friends – thanks to our hosts Ross and Cheryl McHardy, Hugh and Mary Lynn MacKay and Botho and Helga Von Hampeln. Marcia Sachs assured that 3 or 4 interclubs were held each month with focus on the newest Kanata Club to help boost their attendance. • Key Club and Circle K Committee Chairman John Callan reported that two Nepean Key Club members sat on the Duck Race Committee and helped sell tickets and clean up after the Race. Key Club members worked at the Celebrity Skate boot/skate check as well as to distribute flyers in various downtown parking lots to advertise the Lansdome activities and provided coat check services at the Kiwanis sponsored Rock-a-Thon Dance held at the Civic Centre. A dozen Key Clubbers attended the fabulous “For the Love of Canada” luncheon to hear Laurier Lapierre at the Congress Centre. Nepean raised $900 and Lisgar $500 to sponsor the Sleeping Children Around the World project which translated into 46 bed kits. A Glebe Key Club was chartered on May 5th with 25 members; thanks to Maurice Powers and his wife Anita for hosting a Charter party at their home. A regional training conference at Nepean High School included Key Clubs in the Eastern Ontario Region and also were hosts for the annual District Convention which was held in Ottawa in April where over 280 Key Clubbers attended a 3 day gala weekend when our Kiwanis Club was awarded a Quality Sponsor Award. We regret that we failed to build a Circle K Club at Carleton University and we attempted to initiate a Builder’s Club at Broadview Avenue Public School but we hope both these will come through next year. • Major Emphasis Committee Chairman Dominic D’Arcy advised that the theme this year was “Young Children Priority One” and $1,000 was donated to the Learning Foundation. Members of our Committee attended the Mayor’s Task Force on Hunger and the Design and Technology Challenge organized by Mike Robinson was once again a success. We donated $15,000 to the Youth Services Board as part of our $100,000 commitment. • Medical Foundation Committee Chairman Peter Finnegan reported that Maurice Powers is to be congratulated for the excellent job he did with the co-ordination and sale of the Entertainment Books which raised $2,000 and thanks to he and Ian Hendry $11,000 was raised from the Night at the Races. Thank you also to Ken Miller who has donated all funds raised through his appearance as Santa Claus to the Foundation and Dave Costford will donate $3.00 to the Foundation for the sale of every copy of his recently published structural engineering text book. 6 medical grants were distributed totalling $49,400. Surplus at year end was $606,227. • Membership Committee Chairman Ron Petersen reported that the Committee dealt with 25 applications and 21 resignations. We regret the passing of Past President Gordon Henderson. Peter Patafie and Marcia Sachs hosted a New Member’s Day. Membership at year end – Active 211, Privileged 5, Senior 42, Honorary 10, Life 3 (included in Active and Privileged). • Music Committee Chairman Mark Max reported that the Committee’s first presentation was Turnover Day at the Museum of Nature when we welcomed President Dave Costford and bid farewell to President Tom Pullen.

We sponsored ads at $200 per issue for the front and back pages of the monthly Communi-K to defray production costs; we updated several existing media contact lists into one computer-ready electronic file – compatible with the Office computer system and prepared a number of flyers, announcements, bulletins,etc. for other Committees such as the “For the Love of Canada” event and the Florida Golf and Tennis trip. • Senior Citizens Committee Chair Emma Grell reported that our Committee and the Music Committee conducted a sing-a-long at St. Patrick’s Home, entertained them and residents of the Rideau Veterans Home at Christmas and Bron Vasich planned a tour for them of the City’s Christmas Lights. Thanks to Tom Moore and Peter Patafie who organized the Christmas Day Dinner for residents of the Donald Street Seniors Home and to Mark Max and his group who provided the entertainment and helped serve the meal. In March over 400 seniors enjoyed a Tea Party in the Ballroom of the Chateau Laurier organized by new members Alan Cocksedge and John Fitzgerald – they were entertained by Harry Brown, Sol Max and Dominic D’Arcy as well as the RCMP Bison Band. Summer barbecues were held at Asher Place, Thorncliffe and Sterling Place with Harry Brown, Norm Torontow, Stephen Smye and Dominic D’arcy entertaining. We again allocated $3,500 to Lifeline at the Elizabeth Bruyere Centre to provide emergency response and to help seniors with special needs who feel more comfortable and safe living alone at home. • Spiritual Aims and International Affairs Committee Chairman Bill Baker reported that $5,000 was provided for clerical bursaries, $500 went to the Centre for Spiritual Growth and 3,000 Churches/ Synagogues brochures were provided to the Welcome Wagon. $500 was donated to 2 Columbian children, one for an eye operation and one for a tongue operation; $2,500 for a bee keeping pilot project in Venezuela. $8,000 for a joint project with the Antipolo Kiwanis and the Philippines Government to benefit over 100 children in 3 centres; $1,500 to Watercan for a well- digging project in Namibia and $2,160 to the Salvation Army for the support of 12 foster children. • TV Auction Committee Co-Chairmen Tom Beveridge and Peter Nadeau reported that the net proceeds from this year’s Auction were $161,438; the reason that the net has slipped are that we now pay GST on purchases of TV time, phones, advertising, etc. and while the Club eventually claims back 50% of the GST paid, the portion attributable to the TV Auction expenditures do not get allocated to the net results of the Auction. A car raffle has been part of theTV Auction for years; for the last 2 years this has been conducted in conjunction with CHEO; some years the car being raffled is donated to us, other years we acquire it at cost; this year we paid $42,000 for the His and Hers vehicles.

232 TV costs have risen from $8,000 to $10,000 in the past 3 years, the net cost of the catalogue has gone up considerably, telephone costs rose 100% in the last 2 years as we had twice as many phone lines. Our thanks to host Ron Wilson and Producer Ben Heslinga of CJOH, to Jamie Johnson and all the people at By Design for all their time and effort on our computer system, to Ken Birch for his two years as our Executive Director and our gals Shirley Tomblin and Rita Harper at the office for once again spending three months “under the gun”. • Ways & Means Committee Chairman Tom Williams reported that his Committee reviewed 13 new fundraising activities but only a) the sale of Nevada tickets, b) the organization of a joint fundraising event with the Ottawa Lynx and c) operation of casinos at public events were fully implemented. Proceeds from the Lynx Stadium bar were $4,529; from Casinos $1,101and from Nevada tickets $1,166. Most of the others were rejected on the basis that rewards were not likely to justify the efforts of organization. • Youth and Community Services Committee Chairman Peter Laverdiere reported that the Committee investigated over 100 requests and recommended expenditures on 46 of them in the amount of $32,140. Major expenditures were: Canadian Citizenship Court (5 times) $1,006; Christmas Exchange $1,000; Interval House $1,164; Operation Breakfast Program $1,000; Hooked on Kids $2,200; United Ostomy Camp $1,500; Youville Centre $1,000; High School Scholarships $6,000; Purchase of a special CCTV for a legally blind lady $1,000; 27th Scout Group $1,200; Trillium Children’s Cancer camp $1,400.

• Air Cadets Committeee Chairman Hugh MacKay announced that he was proud to announce that our Commanding Officer Bryan Healey has been promoted to Major during the year, a promotion that was solidly endorsed by the Committee. Notable among the Squadron’s accomplishments during the year was the continuing development of the music program including the introduction of bagpipes. The cadets were involved in helping out at theTV Auction, Relay on Ice, Duck Race and detagging of the 94,000 ducks following the Duck Race. The highlight of the year for myself was the opportunity to accompany 25 cadets and two staff members on a one week visit to an Air Cadet Squadron in Kamsack, . • Benefit Dinner Committee Chairman Dave Parkes reported on the 33rd annual Benefit Dinner which was held at the Civic Center, Lansdowne Park. Over 300 people attended this event; our theme for the evening was the Ottawa Rough Riders, with many past and present players in attendance to encourage the Football Club under new ownership; we kept the ticket prices at a relatively low level of $125 each; revenue increases were achieved by the addition of a Silent Auction which raised $3,855 and by all accounts, was a great boost to the evening.

The Environmental Scholarship was reduced to $750 and the Carp Fair was made self funding.

234 We maintained contact with the green Community Initiative and we are involved with the Green School Project. We were responsible for the Environment Week luncheon featuring a presentation on composts that was very unique. Again we were involved with the 4-H winter show in presenting the Kiwanis Trophy to the winner of the Best Beef Division. The 4-H Convention was a great success as Jim Anderson organized the drivers and the special lunch at City Hall; thank you to Byron Martin for his assistance in providing the food. The Carp Fair was handled by Jim Anderson and a small sub Committee and both the Story Book Farm and the Seniors Pavilion were successful; as a result of contributions and efforts from various Kiwanians, the Fair did achieve the goal of being self funded – in fact, a cheque in the amount of $250 was turned over to the Club. • Inter-Club, Sports and Social Committee Chairman Frank Tipper reported that the Annual Divisions 12 and 13 Kiwanis Bonspiel was hosted by the Nepean Club at the RA Centre; 20 teams competed, with 4 from our Club. The team of John Law, Reg Gilstorf, Ross Hadwen and a ringer won all the marbles. A hardy group of Kiwanians assembled at Dow’s Lake Pavillion for the Sip and Skate and to face a challenging -32 degree celsius evening of skating on the canal – thanks to Hugh MacKay who provided us with the nice warm shacks scattered along the canal. The group eventually made their way back to Dow’s Lake Pavilion where hot chili and hot beverages awaited them. The Mont Ste Marie Ski Weekend saw over 60 people turn out for good skiing, good food and terrible line dancing. Again, the President’s Ball was superbly handled by Gilles Langlois at the Chateau Laurier where members, spouses and guests had a chance to dress up, eat good food and strut to “The Fizz” band. Amberwood Golf Club, as in the past, hosted our annual sports event organized by Jim Anderson and Jack Johannsen. In July, similar to the ski weekend, participants were hosted at their chalets at Mont Ste Marie for golf and tennis and, oh yes, poker and socializing. The annual Round Robin organized by Jim Anderson with help from Ross McHardy and Ted Digel was held at Vic Whittaker’s mansion and catered by the Westin Hotel. • Key Club & Circle K Committee Chairman Maurice Powers reported that the motto of the Nepean High School, Lisgar Collegiate and Glebe Collegiate Key Clubs is “Caring – Our Way of Life”.

The Parent Preschool Resource Centre was supported again for their annual Parenting Show and we helped obtain new kitchen appliances for the First Steps Program at the Somerset West Community Centre at a cost of $929.

Jill Bobula organized a Fall Rapsody bus tour of the Gatineau allowing 40 seniors to enjoy the spectacular Fall colours; at Mont Cascade they were treated to coffee and donuts. The Committee again allocated $3,500 to the Elisabeth Bruyere Lifeline project. • Spiritual Aims and International Affairs Committee led by Ed Healey reported that we provided $4,000 to fund theology bursaries for four students at St. Paul’s College, we coordinated the weekly Padre schedule, organized the staffing for the Christmas Salvation Army Kettles, provided $500 to the Canadian Amateur Musicians of Ottawa-Hull to produce “Come Sing Messiah” which was shown widely on television with credit to our Club.

236 Through International Affairs we supported the Salvation Army for 12 Foster Children, and we contributed $2,400 to support one child through the Foster Parents Plan. • TV Auction Committee Chairman Chris Fournier reported that the TV Auction proceeds were $236,172, advertising revenue $7,475, donations $26,115 and sponsorship $19,000 for total revenue of $288,762. Expenses – TV production and advertising $110,804, stationery, printing telephone and other $35,254, Merchandise $15,075 for total of $161,133. Net revenue $127,629. The Car Raffle which has been considered part of the TV Auction for years and which is not run in conjunction with CHEO was not in fact managed to any degree by the TV Auction Committee. This year, due largely to the efforts of Tom Spence, all tickets were sold and we anticipate to realize $40,000 from this raffle. Over the last several years the total revenues of the Auction have levelled off and the expenses have continued to increase. Of the 530 items obtained most items were brought in by: Ken Birch 52, Tom Grossman 30, Tom Gaul 22, Shirley Tomblin 21, Tom Beveridge 20, Ted Horton 14, Kiwaniannes 13, John Klatt 13, Tom Spence 13 and Steve Moore 11. Ways and Means Committee Chairman Alan Smith reported that the Committee’s objective was to bring in $50,000 additional funds from an alternate source and this was met by revenue received from the Duck Race of $55,000 and Winterlue which grossed $18,000 with $9,000 credited to our account. A new project, The Kiwanis CPR Lottery Calendar became a reality in June under the Chairmanship of Mike Lundy and it has the potential to be the largest single contribution to our Welfare Account outside of the TV Auction. The CPR project is in full swing and hopefully, the gross revenue from Calendar sales will exceed $100,000 in the first year. • Winterlude Committee Chairman Ken Nelson reported that the Lansdome project was refocused to concentrate energies into a one-day event in partnership with the Royal Ottawa Health Care Foundation into a unique Canal event – The Relay on Ice. Relay of teams of 10 skated for 10 hours from Pig Island opposite Lansdowne Park to the Laurier Street bridge (3.5km/lap). While members of 58 teams skated laps on the canal, their teammates enjoyed games, entertainment, food and beverages in the warmth of the Lansdome. Team members collected paid pledges of $39,363 from donors for distance skated, there were $3,000 donations from our sponsor Labatt’s and revenue from beer and food sales of $4,348 for total gross revenue of $46,711. Net revenue amounted to $32,484 and was split evenly between our Club and the Royal Ottawa Hospital. Youth and Community Services Co-chairs Gord Fleming and Ross McHardy reported that the Committee investigated over 140 requests recommending expenditures on 46 of them in the amount of $33,073.

• The new Lottery Calendar fundraiser raised $24,000 from the sale of 5,410 calendars at $20 each to purchase mannequins with the hope that “every high school student will know how to apply CPR before they graduate from high school”. The calendar portrayed the many Kiwanis activities in the community with a separate photo (1000 + words) each month of the year and highlighted our involvement with the four local School Board’s CPR Program inasmuch as our Club paid for the mannequins. • Shirley Tomblin retired after more than 20 years of great service to the Club. Club Activities

• Air Cadets Committeee Chair Michael Morling and Vice Chair Bruce Jones were proud to announce that our Squadron received the Silver Circle of Excellence Award as presented by the Air Cadet League for the Eastern Region. Five cadets entered our Squadron competition for Effective speaking and the winner went on to the Regional Championship and placed second. Our Cadets tagged over 75% of the Ducks for the Duck Race, they took home most of the awards at the annual Olympiad Sports Competition, along with first place in the Drill Team and Tug-of-War Competitions. We maintained a balanced budget of $26,000 during the year of which half the funds were generated by the Committee and the Cadets. • Auction (formerly called the TV Auction) Committee Co-Chairmen Steve Georgopoulos and Ken Birch reported that this was a year of change to the format. We started the planning and execution of a combined “TV and Live” Auction – we went “Live in 95” for the first time in 32 years! The TV audience had turned very small and costs of production and TV time continued to escalate. Since the CJOH Studio was no longer available in ‘95 we moved to the very large 30,000 sq. ft. Coliseum Building at Lansdowne Park; we went on TV from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. and Live from 2:00 p.m. on. So as to ensure audience for the live portion, we collaborated with the Fall Home Show, attracting an average of 8200 visitors on a Saturday. We enlisted the help of 5 professional Auctioneers and they worked tirelessly from 2:00 p.m. till 10:00 p.m. By the time it was all over we had sold 510 items, 125 on TV and 385 in the Live setting; our gross sales were $118,000 on TV and $76,000 Live; total retail value on Auction day was $351,000, $79,000 less than the previous year. Our TV Auction costs ran just over $60,000 and to us, is out of proportion to the sales. Notwithstanding our disappointing financial results at just over $57,755, the day went quite smoothly. Thanks go to the great people who contributed many of the 3500 person hours: Jamie Johnson, Steve Creighton, Tom Spence, Tom Beveridge, Alan Smith, Wilf Brousseau, Don Keyes, Shirley Tomblin; Rita Harper and Karen Haddon in the Kiwanis Office worked leading up to the big day and cleaned-up the returned items and paid the bills. Those who brought in most items were: Ken Birch 46, Shirley Tomblin 28, Tom Gaul 25, Steve Georgopoulos 22, Tom Grossman 16, Ted Horton 15, Steve Creighton 14, Buck Madden 13, Tom Spence 13 and Ron Wing 12.

239 • Benefit Dinner Committee Co-Chairs Gail Ryan and Bob Houston reported on the 34th Annual Benefit Dinner which was held at the Ottawa Congress Centre with 375 people in attendance; tickets sold for $150 per person and allowed for the provision of a full bar, cocktail hour and high end, four course dinner. In an effort to re-energize and re-invent the evening we chose to provide live entertainment – Cabaret Style – featuring the “Second City Revue” Improv troupe from Toronto, in conjunction with a Silent Auction of 75 items and one live Auction item – Chicago Bulls tickets for two with hotel and airfare; the reverse draw was eliminated from the evening’s activities. The Silent Auction resulted in revenues of $6,940, an increase of $3,085 over last year; the inclusion of the Chicago Bulls package brought in $1,300 in revenue; the total from Auction items was $8,240. Overall revenue was $66,083; expenses were higher than in past year but the net revenue was $25,500. Our MC was our own Kent Wilkinson; special thanks to 417 Infiniti-Nissan for the donation of an elegant vehicle. • Charitable Gift Planning Committee Chairperson Barb Perrin reported on this newly formed Committee to evaluate the long term requirements of charitable giving. At a Club luncheon Paul Kane outlined the ways in which gifts can be made by Will and George Perrin made a presentation on Charitable Annuities - “Doing Good for Others”. The Committee agreed with a five year plan to evaluate the long term requirements for the Club in an effort to meet the competitive nature of fundraising. • Duck Race Committee Chairman Ian McDonald reported on the 8th Annual Kiwanis Duck Race for Tiny Hearts where a cheque for $300,126 was presented to CHEO during the Miracle Network Telethon. Total sales were 85,000, which, along with merchandise sales, produced a total revenue of $439,402. Kiwanis was well represented with the following Clubs participating in the ticket sales: Nepean, Westboro, Sage, Orleans and Carleton, along with our Club. Prizes worth over $95,000 were provided with a car, courtesy of Capital Driving Force in the amount of $25,000 being the first prize. As well, the Million Dollar Duck was sponsored by Corel in the amount of $10,000. Media coverage and sponsorship was again excellent this year with well over $100,000 being donated in PSAs and Air Time. • Education, Attendance and Membership Committee Co-Chairs Peter Charboneau and Lynda Campbell reported that the Committee continued the investigation of the safe keeping of our historical records with the goal of appointing an Archivist – this work continues in 1995-96. Total members at year end – 248: Active 196, Privileged 4, Senior 39, Honorary 9, Life 3 (included in the Active and Privileged). 12 new members joined and 18 resigned/deceased. John Cole and Chummy Watt passed away during the year. • Environment and Agriculture Committee Chairman Henry Krzywicki reported that, due to continuing absence of a significant progress over the past several years in developing projects in the areas of Environment and Agriculture, it was decided by the Board at the beginning of the year to temporarily suspend the Committee; it was felt that the current level of Kiwanis involvement with any of the functions could be carried out without the involvement of the Environment and Agriculture Committee The Ottawa Board of Education was contacted about the Environmental Scholarship of $750 but no candidates came forth. We offered to continue to provide drivers and lunch for the 4-H Annual visit but this was declined by the 4-H. We were again involved in the Carp Fair and the milk and apple sales were brisk.

240 • IDD Committee Chairman Ed Healey reported that the Committee met regularly to formulate plans and programs for the upcoming campaign for the Kiwanis International Iodine Deficiency Disorder Project within the Club and Districts 12 and 13. A comprehensive four part plan was presented to the Board for approval; an initial commitment to raise $50,000 for IDD from the Club over the period 1995 to 2000 was approved; the first payment of $10,000 was approved for the end of this Kiwanis year. • Inter-Club, Sports & Social Committee Co-Chairmen Ross McHardy and Rob Thompson reported that the Committee achieved their aim of one Interclub per month. The Division 12 and 13 Curling Bonspiel was held at the Rideau Curling Club, hosted by our Club and we had 4 teams competing; organizing Committee of John Law, Jim Anderson, Barry Young and Gerry Slobodian did an excellent job . 24 members participated in the Sip and Skate Night organized by Frank Tipper, Ted Digel and Hugh MacKay at Dows Lake. The Ski Weekend planned by Gilles Langlois at Mont Ste Marie was enjoyed by 63 Kiwanians and spouses – thanks to the hosts who opened their chalets to all of us. A total of 150 members and spouses took part in a new event, the Sock Hop. The outfits were outrageous, the band was great and the dancing didn’t stop till past 1 o’clock. Thanks to Frank Tipper, Gilles Langlois, Darrell Powell and Rob Thompson for an evening of fun. The Annual Amberwood Golf day organized by Jim Anderson, Gerry Slobodian and Jack Johannsen was enjoyed by 60 golfers and 66 who came for the excellent BBQ steak dinner. The Vic Castledine Trophy for Low Gross was won by Jim Wright and the Jim Plant Trophy for Low Net was won by Dave McAlhone. Frank Tipper organized the Mont Ste Marie Golf Day; good weather, golf, dinner, poker and fellowship was the order of the day. The Annual Round Robin was hosted this year by Ann Levencrown, Brian and Dallas Reinke and Ian and Lorraine Hendry. • Key Club & Circle K Committee Chairman Bill Keating reported that every Tuesday at lunch hour, Keyclubbers from Nepean, Lisgar and Glebe meet in their respective schools sharing a common objective as members of their Key Club – their motto “Caring – Our Way of Life”. The following are contributions made: A canned food drive with over 2000 cans collected for the Ottawa Food Bank; Collected pop cans to be used to buy wheelchairs for the disabled; Christmas carolling with proceeds used to buy Christmas gifts for battered women and children; a joint volleyball tournament with proceeds going to IDD and Bake Sales, Licorice Sales and Pizza Sales with proceeds going to various charities in the city. They assisted the Kiwanis Club in serving dinner at the Donald Street Seniors Residence, they participated in the Duck Race, volunteered at the Shepherds of Good Hope and took part in the Relay on Ice. The District Convention was held in Ottawa and 30 students participated in the organization of the weekend which saw 250 Key Clubbers attend from Eastern Canada and the Caribbean. • Lottery Calendar Committee Chairman Mike Lundy reported on this new fundraiser with $24,000 raised from the sale of 5,410 calendars at $20 each to purchase mannequins with the hope that “every high school student will know how to apply CPR before they graduate from high school”. The calendar portrayed the many Kiwanis activities in the community with a separate photo (1000 + words) each month of the year and highlighted our involvement with the four local School Board’s CPR Program inasmuch as our Club paid for the mannequins. Cost of the mannequins $27,500; cost of lottery prizes $36,500; cost of printing, design, license fee, promotion, etc. $20,200.

241 The companies of 12 Kiwanians agreed to underwrite the cost of the Calendar and the Lottery prize money in the event that this fundraiser should be misguided and fail! These were Brian Reinke, Gord Fleming, Dave Costford, Doug Legere, Ron Wing, Mike Lundy, Matt McGrath, Alan Smith, Ted Horton, Bob Kingham, Dave Parkes and Botho Von Hampeln .. and it was a success! • Major Emphasis Committee Co-chairs Barb Perrin and Mike Robinson were sorry to report that the Committee met for two months until its unfortunate disbanding for the balance of the year. Our support for the Design and Technology Challenge will continue and Ken Bickley agreed to organize this event. The Parent Preschool Resource Centre will be referred to theWays and Means Committee to determine the financial viability. • Medical Foundation Committee Co-Chairmen Richard Clayman and Rocco D’Angelo reported that expenditures totalled $33,000 for two projects; we entertained approximately 12 requests for funding through the year. Since its inception the Foundation has provided almost $750,000 in grants to leading edge projects. The Night at the Races was another successful fundraiser with 8 corporate sponsors and 35 guests for the evening resulting in a profit of $7,500. • Music/Entertainment Committee Co-Chairs Ann Levencrown and Don Timmins reported that the Music Committee began with a new vision, the Music/Entertainment Committee with emphasis on broadening our base and becoming more proactive in the Club’s events and activities. The first performance highlighted the talents of Don Timmins, Maurice Powers and Larry Haffner; our “ballet” performed by several “prima donnas” included President-elect David Fair and proved to be a resounding success. The tribute to our Administrative Secretary Shirley Tomblin on her retirement showed the fabulous talents of all Club members as everyone pulled together to write, direct and perform in our Western Day. With our jeans, Stetsons and catchy tunes, we provided a well-deserved tribute to a wonderful lady. We “carolled” our way through Christmas at St. Patrick’s Home, the Parkinson Society and the Seniors Dinner – a special thank you to Dominic D’Arcy, Harry Brown and Stephen Smye for always being available to assist. We performed for TV Auction, Duck Race and St. Pat’s Day and even managed to inject some Gilbert and Sullivan into Turnover Day! • Kiwanis Music Festival Committee Chairman Stephen Smye reported that our 50th Anniversary Festival year began with a changing of the guard – the Board of Directors of the Festival was headed by a new President, Mr. Jim Brough, and supported by a new Managing Director, Mr. Gary Morton. In late April, one of Kiwanis’ largest “hands-on” projects began. Over a period of two weeks and ten sites, more than 250 Kiwanians volunteered their time to act as program hosts and ushers for the Festival. We are very proud of the accomplishment of Anne Sophie Goulet of Ottawa, a talented young actress who went on to win the prestigious National Award of the National Music Festival in Calgary; this achievement is especially commendable since this was the first year that Theatre and Speech Arts were included in our Festival. On a sadder note, in view of the unfortunate past behaviour problems experienced with the participants from the various dance schools, it was decided to cancel the Dance Festival for 1995; it is likely that it will not be re-instated for 1996.

242 • Program Committee Co-chairs Janet Dodds and Peter Reynolds reported that the highlights of the 52 programs included: Ann Levencrown “Amateur Talent Day”; German Wine Festival – Dr. Karl von Schonoborn; Minister Sergio Marchi – Citizenship Day; Shirley Tomblin Appreciation Day with 325 guests in the Chateau Laurier Ballroom; Regional Police Chief Brian Ford; Chinese Cultural Day with Frank Ling at Fuliwah’s Restaurant; Tom Pullen and Cam Hughes – “Getting Involved”; John Piggott– “Health of the Region”; New Members April Fools luncheon; Canada Day with the Honourable Gib Parent, Speaker of the House; “Children Priority One” Sister Betty Ann Kinsella; “True Friendships within Kiwanis” by Peter Patafie; “The History of Clothing” Kent Wilkinson. • Public Relations Committee Co-chairs Michael Chettleburgh and Myrna Beattie reported that the Committee focused on public relations generated for the Calendar Project, the Duck Race, the TV Auction and the Medical Foundation. We re-launched the Communi-K late in 1993-94; it was nonetheless a struggle to get articles submitted by Club members and we hope that members will step forward with timely articles and ideas so that it can live on in the coming year. • Senior Citizens Committee Co-chairs Pierre Laurin and Peter Patafie reported that we were joined by the Music Committee and Santa Claus on the Christmas Light Tour to entertain the residents of St. Patrick’s Home. The Christmas Day Seniors Dinner was relocated to the Alex Dayton Centre and meals were served to 145 seniors who gathered together from 6 different residences and support agencies. Some 34 Kiwanians with their families contributed to making this a highly successful event. Four summer barbecues took place at the Asher House, St. Patrick’s Home, Sterling Place and the Ottawa West Seniors Support Centre. 15 seniors were chauffeured to an indoor mini-course in Chelsea, Que. to enjoy a pleasant afternoon of Mini Golf. The Kiwanis Seniors Social Tea in the Chateau Laurier Ballroom entertained 470 seniors; J.J. Clark acted as Master of Ceremonies while the Grey Jazz Band provided the musical entertainment. Once again we operated the Seniors’ Hospitality Centre at the Carp Fair. We were joined by 30 residents of Harmer House and Glebe Centre for a beautiful Fall Rhapsody Tour through the Gatineau Hills with a stop-over at Edelweiss Golf Club for refreshments. This was the last year of our participation in the Elizabeth Bruyere Centre’s Lifeline Project; over the past 7 years we have helped 86 seniors receive this assistance. • Spiritual Aims and International Affairs Committee Co-chairs Tom Keogh and Major Cliff Hollman reported that we continued to fund 4 bursaries of $1,000 each to selected students at St. Paul’s University, co-ordinated the weekly Padre schedule, provided speakers for Easter, Thanksgiving and Remembrance Day luncheons and co-ordinated volunteers for the Salvation Army Christmas Kettles. We continued our support through the Salvation Army of 12 Foster Children and supported a child through the Foster Parents Program for a total contribution of $2,320. • Ways and Means Committee Co-chairmen Jamie Johnson and Bob Normand reported that the Committee evaluated a significant number of potential fund raisers: A Travel Lottery, Sale of Fruit Baskets, Kiwanis Fly Day, Participation in a TravelNet for discount travel, Microsoft participation in Hole in One, Parenting Show or Snowball Lottery, Kiwanis Software Challenge and Partnering with the Picadilly Circus - each of these events were analyzed for the ability of the event to act as an effective fundraiser for the Club; the analysis led the Committee to the conclusion that the Club’s members had reached a saturation point for many types of fundraisers. • Winterlude (Relay on Ice) Committee Co-Chairs Jill Bobula and Ken Nelson reported that, working in conjunction with the Royal Ottawa Hospital Care Foundation Group, the 1994-95 Relay on Ice was a success.

243 The event included over 600 participants and raised over $40,000 net to be equally divided between Kiwanis and ROH. As in previous years, the event, held during Winterlude, was held at Lansdowne Park in the Dome and the Relay teams skated for an 8 hour period from the Dome to Pretoria Bridge. Unfortunately the Civic Hospital Bed Race was scheduled for the same weekend as our event and took place on a large portion of the ice, causing difficulty for the skaters – we will ensure that no other events are held on the same day as our own next year. We provided entertainment, karaoke, groups of singers, pool tables, basketball and hockey and sold food and drinks which brought in over $2,000. • Youth and Community Services Committee Co-chairs Eddy Cook and Neil McDonald reported that we reviewed over 150 requests for assistance and we were able to spend $33,910 on 55 cases all the way from dental assistance to hearing devices, camperships, education bursaries, food baskets to the needy, assistance with an electric chair, scooter for a disabled, refrigerator for a school, Citizenship Court receptions, renovations to Boys and Girls Club and many others.

We were fortunate in having the Ottawa Senators as our major sponsor, plus 12 monthly sponsors who were identified throughout the Calendar. We were able to raise $20,000 after all expenses, through the sale of 4209 calendars. Club Activities

• Air Cadets Committeee Co-chairs Michael Morling and Val Berlis were proud to announce that the lLast year we received the Circle of Excellence for the second year in a row – this year we were awarded the Gold level; this identified the 211 Squadron as being in the top 15% of the approximately 100 Squadrons in Eastern Region. One of our cadets was the winner in the Effective Speaking and went on to capture first place in the Ottawa Valley Regional Competition and then on to achieve second place in the Provincial Competition in St. Jean Sur Richelieu, Quebec. We sent a record 50 cadets to summer camp this year ranging from Basic through Flying scholarships. Two of our cadets earned their wings with the passing of all requirements for the pilots licence. We maintained a balanced budget of $30,000 with the Squadron and Committee raising 40% of the $12,000 themselves. • Benefit Dinner Committee Co-chairs Mike Moore and Glen Vaillancourt reported that the 35th Annual Dinner was held at the Corel Centre. Ticket prices remained at $150 and we sold 315. The SilentAuction organized by Tom Beveridge brought in $9,655 and overall we netted $28,066. The MC for the evening was our own Ed Mulkins and Myrna Beattie very capably decorated the Corel Centre. Entertainment was provided by comedians Delmer and Cecil. • Charitable Gift Planning Committee Co-chairs Bill Cowie, Bill Siekierski and Paul Kane reported that George Perrin delivered an excellent overview and example of the type of charitable gift possible for many Kiwanians. In May Robert Houle invited all Kiwanians to participate in a Chartered Life Underwriter’s seminar on gift giving. Other gift planning information was given to Club members through the weekly educational spot. A letter from President David Fair was sent to everyone encouraging consideration be given to Kiwanis as the recipient of any member’s planned gift. • Duck Race Committee Co-chairs Rick Barrigar and Steve Tanner reported that the 9th Annual Duck Race for Tiny Hearts was a limited success. A cheque for $252,775 was presented to CHEO during the Miracle Network Telethon. This brings the total amount raised from this event to $2,621,163. Ticket sales were 71,222 which represented a considerable drop from previous years because of the inclement weather and economic conditions. Prizes worth over $96,000 were given out including the 1st prize, a 1996 automobile from the Capital Driving Force valued at $25,000.

245 Sybase Million Dollar Duck: One duck, chosen at random by our auditors, should it come in first, provides the ticket holder with a $50,000/year annuity for 20 years, as well as the first prize – Sybase Canada Ltd. retail value $10,000. If the duck does not finish first, the ticket holder will have a choice between a Pentium Personal Computer, retail value of $2,500 or $1,000 in cash from Digital Equipment of Canada. There were discussions with the Children’s Hospital Foundation concerning Kiwanis Club of Ottawa involvement in upcoming years, the focus being the financial return to our Club. As a result of our discussions, it was agreed that our Club will receive $30,000 or 4% of the gross revenue, whichever is the greater, as an administrative expense. • Education/Historical Committee Co-chairs Ken Miller and Janet Dodds reported on this, the newest and smallest Committee in the Club.

246 • Iodine Deficiency Disorder Committee Co-chairs Fred Rendell and Ted Horton advised that the goal for the year was to raise the level of knowledge about the Iodine Deficiency Disorder Project within our Club. The following are some of the ideas achieved – a) an 8 x 11 acrylic tent stand was placed on each table at Friday luncheons, the message was changed each week to show a different fact each time; b) an 8’x 1’ banner was displayed each week at the head table that said “Kiwanis International Salt Solution for Kids”; c) Pledge forms were placed on the tables each Friday where $5,700 was raised; d) Ian Peddie and Fred Rendell spoke at two assemblies at Nepean High School at the request of their Key Club. • Key Club and Circle K Committee Co-chairs Maurice Powers and Jim MacLeod reported that each week members of the 4 Key Clubs met along with their Teacher Advisor and Kiwanis Advisor to conduct a business meeting. We chartered a new Key Club at Sir Robert Borden High School and special recognition is warranted for Howard Lithwick who, with the assistance of Teacher Advisor Judith Miller, was able to bring this Club to fruition with a membership in excess of 20 members. 26 members travelled 22 hours one way by train and bus to attend the District Convention in St. John, N.B. Membership in the 4 Clubs totalled 88 students and they all participated in collecting 4100 cans in the canned food drive for the Ottawa Food Bank; volunteered in the Lighthouse Project which involves reading to young children after school; sold crocuses with proceeds donated to the C.N.I.B. and were involved in all Kiwanis fund raising projects.

The highlight of this year was the Turnover Day Skit which featured our Committee dressed as the incoming Board of Directors and spoofing each Board member.

247 • Kiwanis Music and Dance Festival Committee - Chairs Barb Perrin and Stephen Smye reported that this, the 52nd year of the Festival, was a great success thanks to Gary Morton, Managing Director and Jim Brough, President, for their patience, enthusiasm and energy to help keep this large organization in operation. Total performances during the Festival was 5,687, total audience approximately 14,500 and total volunteer hours are 7,000. Fundraising has become essential for the survival of the Festival. This year’s projects included the First Annual Police Ball, the Rideau Carleton Raceway event and the Vienna Concert. The gem of the Festival is, without a doubt, the Highlights Concert. All fundraising events contribute to balancing our $105,000 annual budget. Dominic D’Arcy was the recipient of this year’s award which recognized his outstanding contribution to Community Service. • Programme Committee Chairman Bob Kingham reported on programs for the 52 weeks of this year – some of which were: Maureen Kempson-Darke, President of General Motors; , Jackie Holzman and Marcel Parent - “Post Referendum Panel”; Roger Newton – report on the Palladium (now the Corel Centre); Dr. Brent MacInnes - “Laser Eye Surgery”; Peter Evans - “Centrepoint Theatre Group”; Dee Brasseur - 1st Female F-18 Pilot; Ed Harsant “Advent of Box Retail Business in the 90’s”; Howard Galganov “Quebec Language Debate”. • Public Relations Committee Chairman Wilf Brousseau reported that, throughout the year, specific initiatives included: The facilitation of links with Ottawa Business News in order to assist and benefit our interests in getting our Kiwanis message to the Ottawa/Carleton Business community; the development of a series of stories for distribution to media sources on Seniors, Youth & Community Services and the Kiwanis Duck Race for Tiny Hearts at CHEO; input assistance to Jamie Johnson regarding the format and public relations impact for the Club’s home page on its site on the internet. • Senior Citizens Committee Chair Mary Dashney and Vice Chair Jane Brady reported that 30 Seniors were taken on a bus tour to view the beauty of the Fall leaves - the bus was donated by Ottawa Valley Tours and we stopped for refreshments at Eidelweiss; In December we accompanied 60 Seniors from St. Patrick’s Home and Ottawa West Home on a Christmas Light Tour of the City – Santa Claus (Ken Miller) came along for the ride and the sing-a-long was led by members of the Music Committee. We served Christmas dinner to 150 seniors at the Alex Dayton Senior’s Activity Centre, assisted by many Kiwanis members – Lynda Campbell did an excellent job of organizing this event. We held 5 summer barbecues at St. Patrick’s Home, the Glebe Centre, Ottawa West, Sterling Place and Asher Place. Entertainment for all 5 events was provided by Dominic D’Arcy and our Music Committee. In June we accompanied 60 seniors down the Rideau Canal for a Boat Tour donated by Paul’s Boat Lines. • Spiritual Aims & International Affairs Committee Chairman Major Cliff Hollman reported that preliminary discussion centered around the feasibility of establishing a Kiwanis Club for the mentally challenged. We sponsored 12 Foster children in various parts of the world through the Salvation Army and 4 scholarships were granted to students studying at St. Paul’s University. • Ways & Means Committee Chairmam John Booth and Vice Chairman Rob Tripp reported that the Committee was asked to review existing fundraising and comment on special activities, namely the Benefit Dinner and the TV Auction. • Benefit Dinner – although the cost reward is somewhat low in relation to the amount of effort it requires, it was felt that given it regularly raises in excess of $20,000 that we should make every effort to come up with new ways to enhance the Dinner without incurring further costs.

248 • TV Auction – was thoroughly audited both from a cost point of view and from a time commitment point of view. The format was indeed changed this year and the outcome will be measured when the results come in – this should take place as soon as possible after the Auction inasmuch as it takes so much time to organize the next year’s event. • Winterlude Committee Chair Jill Bobula and Vice Chair Steve Moore reported that the Kiwanis and Royal Ottawa Hospital Relay is twofold: Firstly as a fundraiser, the event provides a vehicle through which the Kiwanis Club of Ottawa raises funds for the Community Services Account, as well as for the ROH Health Care Group; secondly the Relay on Ice is a recreational activity to be enjoyed by the Ottawa-Carleton community at large. Net revenue from the Relay on Ice was $55,000; we had 55 teams participating. As in previous years, we paired with the Royal Ottawa Hospital for the event. In addition, we worked with the Grace Hospital and the consultant, TBM Sports, who specialize in organizing large sporting events. The event took place at the Aberdeen Pavilion this year in order that we might have a better ambiance than was experienced in the Dome. This year the Relay became an official Winterlude event. Our corporate sponsor was AST Computers based in Toronto and we received $7,500 from them. • Youth and Community Services Chair Neil McDonald and Vice-Chair Ian Peddie reported that there were over 120 requests received and 90 of these investigated by the Committee. We decided to continue with the two $500 Youville Centre bursaries as well as a $1,000 bursary to a deserving student at Carleton University. Total expenditures for the year were $23,200.

Their contribution was instrumental in realizing a surplus of $58,700; the raffle of Air Canada tickets raised $4,480 for the Red River Flood Victims which was sent to the Kiwanis Club of Selkirk.

Roll calls were supervised by Barry Weatherdon and Shirley Tomblin. • Hands-On Committee Co-chairs Buck Madden and Bob Horlick reported that a major face-lift and paint project was led by Bruce Brooks at Britannia Safety Village; the Committee expended 300 hours there over two weekends. The major project for the year involving over 30 Kiwanians and friends was St. Mary’s Home for Women; 900 person hours were expended.

We worked diligently to encourage other Kiwanis Clubs to attend the Roger Moore IDD luncheon; we even had members from the Watertown and Syracuse Clubs attend this event. The Sip and Skate Night was hosted by Don Blakslee at the Lord Elgin Hotel; unfortunately we only had 11 members attend. Thanks to Gilles Langlois and Wayne French for chairing the Mont Ste Marie Ski Weekend where we made a profit of $118.45 from this fun event.

Thanks to Tom Pullen and Jack Johannsen for this fun night. • Key Club Committee Co-Chairs Jim McLeod and Bill Keating proudly report that membership in the Key Clubs remained consistent with other years except for the Lisgar Club where membership exploded to 60 members. Sir Robert Borden, in their 2nd year, built their membership to 24 members with Howie Lithwick as Kiwanis Advisor and Judith Safran as Faculty Advisor. Total in our Key Clubs reached 128 members. Although small in numbers, Glebe Key Club makes up with a great deal of enthusiasm. Maurice Powers and Tom Moore have done a terrific job of keeping the level of activity high with this Club. The big event of the year was the 50th Anniversary of Key Club International held in London, On. 60 Key Clubbers, 3 Kiwanis Members and 3 Teacher Advisors made the train trip to the Convention. We won many awards for great work this year. Members were active in our Duck Race, canned food drives, chocolate bar sales with proceeds going to IDD, Relay on Ice, sponsored a blood donor clinic and held licorice sales. A Circle K Club was chartered at the University of Ottawa. • Lottery Calendar Committee Chairman Clive Woolley reported that we introduced two new Charity Partners by welcoming the Ottawa-Carleton Police Youth Centre and the Children’s Aid Society who finished the project with sales of over 2000 calendars and raised approximately $20,000 for their two organizations. Another innovation was that we changed the prizes from a daily prize of $100 to a weekly prize of $700. With the introduction of these changes we were able to increase our calendar sales from 4,209 in 1996 to 4,962 this year with $23,335 available to our Club to continue to help those in need. • Major Emphasis Committee Chairman Keith McGruer reported that two programs were selected for action: Reading is Fundamental at Connaught School, was selected for a pilot program, in an area of the City where lower-income and education levels in parents with English as a second language combine to create greater need. Our Club provided $1,350 for reading materials, field trips and a nutrition cart.

We assisted with the Seniors’ Light Tour followed by the annual Parkinson’s Christmas Party. 252 Many members of our Committee volunteered to help out at the Seniors’ Barbecues – thanks to Dominic D’Arcy and Firma French who helped with the entertainment. We provided musical thanks for both the TV Auction and the Duck Race. Anne Max had many of the Committee and Club members dress in drag for Turnover Day – it is my hope that having us wear dresses more than once a year does not become another Kiwanis “tradition” - stockings are just so hard on the legs! • Kiwanis Music Festival Committee Chair Barb Perrin reported that the Festival continues to grow under the leadership and guidance of Gary Morton, Managing Director and Jim Brough, President of the Board. 5 Kiwanis Clubs participated in the activities. Fundraising initiatives have been rewarding this year – Friday bingos have raised $16,000, a City of Ottawa grant was received for $8,000 per year for 3 years and we are the beneficiaries of the CBC Concert Series which should raise an estimated $10,000. The participation in the Festival has increased to over 4,000 competitors and 400 volunteers giving approximately 3,500 hours of their time.

Kiwanis-Corel Initiative – A percentage of sales of Corel WordPerfect Suites 7 & 8 is going to support Kiwanis IDD Worldwide Service Project. Interviews were coordinated with CJOH for broadcast on the Champions for Children Award Gala and the development of a new brochure for the Club’s use was initiated. Jamie Johnson has put considerable effort into preparing a Club Web Site on the Internet, featuring vital information on our activities which receives about 400 hits a day. • Winterlude (Relay on Ice) Committee Co-chairs Steve Moore and Geoff Godding reported that, in it’s 6th year of existence, the “Winterlude” event has matured and the success of the “Relay” is complemented by the partnering between the Royal Ottawa Hospital, the National Capital Commission and our Club. Our Major sponsor is Northern Micro, along with Second Cup, Ottawa Sun, Baileys, Sports Experts, Wendy Diegel Catering and Discount Truck Rental. Northern Micro Relay on Ice attracted 49 corporate teams of 10 skaters collecting $100 per skater. $41,414 was pledged, 989 laps skated and 2,967KM skated during the 6 hour event. The top team was Welch & Company raising $3,169; 14 teams raised over $1,000 with another 5 raising over $900; 60 volunteers helped out during the event.

Christmas Dinner – We served dinner to 250 seniors from different homes at the Alex Dayton Centre; many Kiwanians volunteered with their family members and Dominic D’Arcy and his young friends provided the music while Stan Greenwood’s son entertained us as a clown. The wine was donated by “Beer and Wine By Design” and Michael’s store donated the favours. We called Winter Bingos and provided the prizes at 3 different senior’s homes during the cold months and hosted 6 Summer Barbecues at St. Patrick’s, the Glebe Centre, Ottawa West, Sterling Place, Asher Place and Thorncliffe House and entertainment was provided by Dominic D’Arcy and Firma French and friends. With an average of 60 seniors per barbecue we felt this was a very worthwhile project. In June we accompanied 60 seniors on a one hour Boat Cruise down the Canal on a boat donated by Paul’s Boat Lines and in July we took over the program for our weekly luncheon and nominated and honoured 5 “Super Seniors” from our own Club for their volunteer work in helping other seniors. Our final project was Tea at the Chateau Laurier attended by 365 seniors who came prepared to dance! Music was provided by the Grey Jazz Band with Bill Luxton as Master of Ceremonies; 20 Kiwanis volunteers assisted on this special day. • Spiritual Aims and International Affairs Committee Chairman Fr. Bill More took over when Peter Charboneau took ill. We provided four $1,000 bursaries to theology students, co-ordinated the monthly Padre schedule, contributed to the Prayer Breakfast, took part in the Salvation Army Christmas Kettle Appeal and provided speakers for the Easter/Passover and Remembrance Day luncheons. Through the Salvation Army, 12 foster children received $2,200 and we contributed to “The Sustainable Goat Project”, a project undertaken by students at the Charles Hulse Public School to provide milk for children in developing countries – the Committee “bought” two goats at a cost of $100. • TV Auction Committee Co-chairs Steve Georgopoulos and Steve Creighton reported that a very difficult but correct decision was made this year – after 33 very successful years of raising hundreds of thousands of dollars, the decision was made to cancel the TV Auction following the 1996 event. It was felt that the financial risk and cost associated with theTV Auction had become too great and it was increasingly difficult to secure good-yieldingAuction items. For the final year of theAuction the Club partnered with JacMar Depot to present the 1996 Kiwanis- JacMar TV Auction; JacMar contributed an incredible $50,000 to the Auction and the Club is greatly indebted to Bob St. Louis (former General Manager of JacMar)for their donation. TheAuction was held in the Curling Rink at the Nepean Sportsplex and was broadcast live on CHRO-TV. Net revenue was $41,586. • Ways & Means Committee Co-Chairs Rob Tripp and Mike Morling reported that a new project, our Nevada Ticket sales at Billings Bridge Shopping Centre brought in a profit of $30,000; we sold in excess of 170,000 tickets and we, as members did not have to sell one of those tickets!

• 211 Air Cadet Committee Chairman Mike St. Louis proudly announced that we finished the year with 112 cadets and the squadron was fully staffed with experienced people who have been involved for many years. Our squadron acted as hosts for the National Effective Speaking Competition and they billeted visiting cadets from across Canada. The Annual Inspection at CFB Uplands included marching, music, model plane building and flying. 4 senior cadets were hired as instructors at Summer Camps; 2 received their glider certificates and 3 their wings to fly as pilots in small aircraft; one cadet was involved in an International Exchange and he attended a summer camp in the United States - this was the first time the squadron ever achieved this goal. For the first time, additional funds were raised when a dessert eating contest at Club luncheons was staged; Janet Dodds faced off with Rick Barrigar and Rick walked away the “Champ” by downing 17 desserts! • Benefit Dinner Committee Chairman Rob Thompson reported that the 37th Annual Dinner was held on the ice surface of the Corel Centre; 337 guests enjoyed the four course meal, followed by loads of laughs by Comedian Larry Horowitz. The Silent Auction has become the highlight of the evening with over 120 items up for sale; the Ottawa Senators donated 100 pairs of pre-season hockey tickets. We exceeded our goal and realized a surplus of $59,669. Our thanks to Bob Kingham and Rob Tripp, our Masters of Ceremonies, to Shirley Tomblin, our Ticket Controller and Mike Moore and Tom Beveridge in charge of the Silent Auction. • Charitable Gift Planning Committee (now known as the Legacy for Life Committee) Chaired by Robert Houle reported that it was agreed that general bequests under a will, as well as all charitable gifts, in favour of the Club will be administered by a 3 person sub-committee consisting of the Chair and Vice-Chair of the Legacy for Life Committee together with a Board Member. The Committee then launched an initiative to find a name for the “fund”. Members of the Club were asked to offer their suggestions on a name for this fund – out of 54 submissions, it was agreed that the Charitable Gift Planning fund would be known as The Kiwanis Club of Ottawa Legacy for Life Fund. • Whenever a bequest is received by the Club, recognition is paramount (unless otherwise requested). The Program Committee ought to consider designating one day to recognize all those who have made bequests, inviting family members as guests of the Club. To date we have achieved $200,000 in bequests and planned gifts. • Circle K Committee Chairman Frank Hegyi reported that the University of Ottawa Circle K was chartered with 38 members in September, 1997 with Tom Moore and Frank Hegyi attending most of their meetings. The Carleton University Circle K was organized and chartered in mid 1998 with Peggy Clark as the main contact person together with Frank Hegyi and Rick Barrigar.

A cheque in the amount of $236,565 was turned over to CHEO at the Miracle Network Telethon; this brings our total contribution from this fundraiser to over 3 million dollars. The duck dealer support network came from Bell Canada, Royal Bank, Royal Trust, Business Depot, MacEwen Petroleum, Carlingwood Seniors, Canada Trust, Scotiabank, Ottawa Firefighters, Mark’s Work Warehouse and Shoppers Drug Mart; the new dealers introduced this year included W.O.

We secured Farm Boy as title sponsor for $25,000 a year for the next 5 years. We introduced the Duck Bus – a mini bus vehicle contribution from Wayne French and Blue Line Taxi; it was used as a promotional vehicle and a new outlet for ticket sales. Wayne and Coach Quacky (Peter Patafie) travelled the City and the Valley for two months. The bus sold over 6,000 tickets over the two-month period. Through the efforts of Broson Media Consultants, we secured over $200,000 worth of free radio and television advertising. Blue Turtle Sound and General Assembly helped to produce the media for our radio and television spots. Pizza Pizza promoted the race on their pizza box lids. We had over $100,000 in prizes plus our Million Dollar Duck sponsored by Sybase; there was no winner this year, however, a consolation prize was awarded to the ticket holder. Race Day was great! Over 5000 people were in attendance and the winning duck took 22 minutes to reach the finish line. • Education/Historical Committee Chairman Peter Charboneau reported that 5 Roll Calls were held during the year, Rob Tripp and his young people at New Beginnings for Youth continued its program of scanning old Kiwanis archive documents and a number of “two minute” presentations were given to the Club which informed members of current Committee activities.

We had 53 successful Interclubs throughout the city as well as at Pembroke and Cornwall. • Iodine Deficiency Disorders Committee Chair Kathleen Holst reported that a luncheon focusing on IDD was arranged with International guest speaker Vankatesch Mannar; the day was highighted by a lottery featuring a condo in Florida as first prize donated by Walter Boyce and won by Red Emond; the Early Bird draw of a string of pearls donated by Elliot Melamed was won by our guest speaker of the day, Ron Zambonini, CEO of Cognos Inc. Combined with a donation from the Beamish Foundation the event raised a total of $4,000. In the summer we resurrected an idea in the form of the “Mile of Twoonies” on the Sparks Street Mall organized by Kathleen Holtz, Shirley Tomblin, Kent Wilkenson and Ross Hadwen and assisted by many Kiwanians. Teams convinced passersby to place loonies or twoonies on the double-sided tape, hoping to raise more than their nearby competitors; 45 teams representing various local companies joined in the fun and after only two hours we had raised over $5,200 with very minimal cost. Dominic D’arcy provided entertainment and information to an interested audience. • Key Club Committee Vice-Chair Howie Lithwick reported that the Glebe Key Club participated in the Lighthouse Project, reading to and playing with children at a day care centre. Lisgar Key Club had an excellent year; they were involved in the Key Club Shaken Baby Syndrome Group, held a pancake breakfast for the United Way which raised $1,900, held car washes and won the Achievement Award, for the third year in a row, at the Regional Key Club Convention. Nepean High School’s President, Sarah Milne, received a Distinguished President’s award at the Convention for the 2nd year in a row. The Club activities included a canned food drive which provided the donation of in excess of 2,500 cans of food to the Youth Services Bureau, assisted in the Duck Race, held a Bake Sale in support of IDD and held a very successful canvassing for the Canadian Cancer Society. Thanks to its superb Teacher advisor Judith Safran who has always provided Club members with caring direction. Sir Robert Borden High School Key Club is our youngest Club but has been a very successful one in its short history. They collected $1,000 worth of Canadian Tire coupons used to shop for toys donated to Toy Mountain, they held a Clothing and Book Drive and two members sat on our Duck Race Committee. • Kiwanis Lottery for Kids Committee Chairman Neil McDonald reported that the concept of producing a calendar was changed to printing a ticket and reverting back to prizes of $100 per day for 365 days. The change was introduced in order to stimulate sales and increase the net proceeds to the Club. We started off by introducing two new Charity Partners to the Committee – the Easter Seal Society and the Youth Services Bureau, with the Champions for Children returning from last year. We held a door-to-door blitz as well as a direct mail campaign to try to boost ticket sales, however only 2,572 tickets were sold; we were able to return approximately $10,000 to our Charity Partners.

258 • Major Emphasis – Young Children Priority One Committee Chairman Martin Diegel reported that the Reading is Fundamental program was launched at Connaught School with Club members and friends taking part in the initiative. We read from a selection of books available to the Kindergarten classes with each child choosing the book the child wanted to read; at the end of the school year they were presented with a book that they wanted in a presentation by Mayor Jim Watson and Club President Marcia Saipe. The other major program carried to a successful conclusion was the Never“ Shake a Baby” video which was produced in cooperation with the following community partners: CHEO, Champions for Children and Health Canada. Many favourable comments have been received on the video. • Medical Foundation Committee Chair Jennifer Rae reported that the Fund now stands at $650,000 thanks to wise investments and fundraisers over the years.

President Ron Wing was awarded the Kiwanis Diamond Award for sponsoring 22 new members into the Club. We regret the passing of John Harcourt, Sr. this year. • Music/Entertainment Committee Chairman Maurice Powers reported that to start off the year, the “Sound of Music” was used to underscore our Turnover Day to welcome our new President (a.k.a. Reverend Mother) Marcia Saipe into the pulpit at Kiwanis; Sister Mary Margaret Ann (Max?) worked a miracle as she ‘converted’ those famous passages of Rogers and Hammerstein’s best loved hymns into a tribute fit for “nun” other than Marcia. Our Annual Family Party was entertained by the Estabrooke Brothers and Laura Hillary. Paddy O’Malley, the world’s oldest living leprachaun celebrated St. Patrick’s Day – the highlight of the day was Earl Crowe’s rendition of “Danny Boy” which brought a tear to everyone’s eye. We performed a farewell to the members leaving the Board at year end, highlighting the guitar mastery of Dominic D’Arcy, performed to the tune of “Farewell to ” and included the newest member of our Committee, Sister Maco Cassetta who came out with her guitar and jammed alongside Dominic. • Program Committee Chairman Henry Kryzwicki reported that some of the following programs highlighted the 52 Club luncheons: Community of Musical Theatre “West Side Story”; Celia Franca/Jennifer Fournier, “National Ballet”; Walter Sellers, President Kiwanis International; Ron Zambonini, Cognos C.E.O.; Dr. Dan Offord, Christie Lake Camp; Carleton University Professor Charles Haines, “Valentine’s Day”; Picasso Breakfast, National Gallery; Hon.

Jamie Johnson continued to evolve our web site and its links to other sites with his exceptional skill. • Senior Citizens Committee Chair Lynda Campbell reported that we started the year by calling bingos at the Elmsmere Residence where 25 seniors participated, with another one held at Bearbrook Court in March. Don Blakslee arranged for 4 seniors to go to a Senators Game at the Corel Centre and in December we took 48 seniors from St. Patrick’s Home, Ottawa West Seniors Support Group and Elsmere Residence on a tour of Parliament Hill and the City to view the Christmas lights.

259 We served 115 senior citizens at the Christmas Dinner held at the Alex Dayton Centre with a turkey dinner catered by Lolacher’s Catering; Dominic D’arcy and friends provided the entertainment. We held 3 barbecues during the summer months – at the Glebe Centre, Asher Place and Ottawa West Centre; the food was provided by the homes and cooked and served by Kiwanians. In June 77 seniors and 6 Kiwanians enjoyed a Boat cruise down the Canal, donated by Paul’s Boat Lines. The Seniors Tea was again held at the Chateau Laurier with 175 seniors attending. Bill Luxton and the Grey Jazz Bank provided the dance music and the Shriners’ Clowns entertained throughout the afternoon; 10 Kiwanians assisted in making this a successful event. • Spiritual Aims & International Affairs Committee Chairman Fr. Bill More reported that we made a contribution of $300 to the InnerCity Ministries, provided 4 bursaries of $1,000 each to theology students at St. Paul’s University and arranged the speakers for Thanksgiving Day, Remembrance Day, Brotherhood/ Sisterhood Day and Easter/Passover luncheons. Through the Salvation Army, 12 foster children received support of $2,200; we donated $1,500 to the Living Water Community in Trinidad for an air conditioning unit for their residence and Sarah Burton of the Queen’s Project on International Development received $200 for her project in Bolivia. The Committee did some research on establishing anAKtion Club, a Club consisting of and run by the mentally and physically challenged, a project brought to us by Tom Assaly who was impressed with such a Club in Florida. It appears to be a project we can take on and will be passed on to next year’s Committee. • Youth & Community Services Committee Chairman Tom Keogh reported that well over 100 requests for assistance were gathered and 56 received financial support of the Club; we are confident in stating that well in excess of 1000 children and adults benefited from our fundraising activities this year. Major beneficiaries were the Youville Centre, the Ottawa West Community Support Group and a variety of summer camp programs; the Committee continued to support several orthodontic cases and these alone accounted for 25% of the total budget. One of the major activities of the Committee this year was a drive for wheelchair donations; this was very successful, due primarily to Bob Littlemore’s efforts in obtaining free advertising in the Ottawa Citizen, and as a result we received 3 electric wheelchairs and 17 manual ones; the electric chairs were picked up by Canada Care which then serviced them, replaced batteries and parts and agreed to store them for us. The manual chairs were placed at Boyd’s storage to be given out when needed. Financials

It was decided to have a major prize for all our participants rather than a prize table; we negotiated a gift for all 144 golfers with the Senators Hockey Team. • Hands On Committee Chairman Bruce Brooks reported that the principal project was the 100 Winter Survival Kits that were distributed to homeless people in the winter.

For raising the greatest amount in the two-hour event Trane Canada team won dinner at Kristy’s Restaurant compliments of President-elect Ed Healey. The event was rounded out by a very successful second lottery; due to the generosity of Ed Healey, Kent Wilkinson and Elliot Melamed we were able to offer significant prizes including a condo in Mexico, a strand of pearls and a dress jacket. Thanks to Kent Wilkinson, Ross Hadwen, Shirley Tomblin and Patrick Flain for making this event so successful. • Kiwanis for Kids Lottery Committee Co-Chairs Tom Moore and Pat Charbonneau reported that the Committee was initially established in 1997 as The Scavenger Hunt by two members, Geoff Godding and Tom Moore, but it was decided that a fundraiser in this format should not be pursued. In its place Steve Georgopolous proposed a format suggested by the Marketing Director of the Rideau Centre – it would be a prize lottery held at the Rideau Centre with the Centre as our principal partner. A new theme and logo “Kiwanis for Kids Lottery” was adopted. Five major prizes totalling $26,986 were obtained from Turpin Pontiac Buick, Claudel Kitchens, Ski Trip to Whistler/Blackcombe, Jubilee Jewellers and Rogers Cable. The Lottery ran for 16 days, ticket sales netted $11,967, a great success. • Legacy for Life Committee Chairman Paul Kane reported that one of the long-term visions of the Committee was to raise donations and legacies totalling $1,000,000 or more over the next 7 to 12 years. Under the guidance of Robert Houle, a Legacy for Life brochure was developed to be used as a reporting vehicle to the Board of Directors and as a means of communication to members of the Club and the Ottawa community regarding the aims and objectives of this Committee. By the conclusion of this year the Committee had received 6 donations by way of policies of insurance from members of the Club,4 donations in the form of testamentary instruments and 3 cash bequests through the estate of two deceased individuals resulting in total donations/insurance contracts of testamentary bequests totalling $230,000. • Medical Foundation Committee Chairman Lorne Usher anticipated that through a solicitation campaign seeking bequests, this could be achieved by the end of the year 2000; this effort will now be undertaken by the Legacy for Life program; realistically the KFM will now have to consider other fundraising initiatives to reach their long-term financial goal of one million dollars within three to four years. 263 At the end of this year the fund stood at $668,030. Three projects were supported with grants this year totalling $32,122 and a total of $325,200 since its beginning. Harry Brown’s recent death is a personal loss felt by all Committee members. • Membership Committee Chairman Walter Boyce reported a positive net growth of 3 new members (one Honorary); we now have 253 members including 197 Active, 46 Senior, 8 Honorary and 2 Privileged. Past Pres. Ron Wing was elected Lt. Governor this year and recognized as Distinguished Lt. Governor. 17 new members were introduced and 14 resigned/deceased. • Music/Entertainment Committee Chairman Maurice Powers reported that the Committee arranged at the Remembrance Day luncheon for Lorne Smith to assist with a special program featuring songs from the Second World War, complimented with Lorne reading some of his poetry. For St. Patrick’s Day our luncheon was transformed into an Irish Pub where we were entertained by “wee lass” Tara Mason who performed traditional Irish jigs; in addition Patty O’Mally returned with his bag of bad jokes and the Committee led our members through a boisterous singalong of Irish tunes. In September Dominic arranged for John Allen Cameron to entertain with his Cape Breton humour and repertoire of songs. Our Vice Chair Shirley Tomblin orchestrated our Newfie Day luncheon; this entailed finding a number of songs that reflected the heritage of Newfoundland and then teaching the songs to members of our Committee. She arranged for the decorating of the Ballroom, co-ordinated the induction of 10 of our members as “Honorary Newfies” by having them each kiss a codfish, drink Skreech and take a Newfie oath. As many of our members, we experienced a monumental loss with the passing of our dear friend and mentor, Harry Brown. Stephen Smye’s arrangement of “Piano Man” which he played at the luncheon following Harry’s death was indeed appropriate. • Partners in Caring Committee Co-chairs Tom Pullen and Ross McHardy were pleased to report that we more than doubled the revenues earned from last year’s activity – a total of $27,000 was raised which included hockey ticket sales and funds raised from the 50/50 Ottawa Senators raffle. Club members went out of their way to purchase groups of 10 and/or 50 hockey tickets at a time but the outstanding performance award must go to Tom Spence and his son Jeff as they sold in excess of 300 tickets to Kiwanians and friends of Kiwanis. Special thanks to Bill Siekierski who organized a series of creative announcements at the Friday luncheons and to Shirley Tomblin and her magnificent 50/50 draw volunteers who surpassed all expectations in this aspect of our fundraiser. • Programme Committee Chairman Michel Podeszfinski reported that some of the luncheon highlights included: Jack MacPartlin, Entertainer and Political Satyr; Brian O’Higgins, VP Entrust Technologies “Internet Security”; Senator Trevor Eyton “Canadian Sports Hall of Fame”; , Ottawa 67s “Rebirth of the Ottawa 67s”; New Members April Fool’s Luncheon; Red Shield Luncheon with Frank O’Dea, Founder of Second Cup; 75th Anniversary of the Boys & Girls Club – Mark Max and the Music Committee; Peter Charboneau, VP Newbridge “Canadian Special Olympics”; National Gallery – Breakfast meeting at the Van Gogh Exhibit; Peter Sorensen “Confederation Bridge”. • Public Relations Committee Chair Krys Rudko reported that we attacked our mandate to strengthen the Club’s profile and position of the Club in the business community as the preferred partner for charitable activities with energy and ingenuity. All significant events such as the IDD Mile of Toonies, Kiwanis For Kids Lottery, the Bon Appetit Silent Auction, the Kiwanis Music Festival, the Charity Golf Tournament and the Duck Race were publicized through media releases and, throughout the year the Public Relations Committee offered itself as a source of support and advice to all committees.

264 • Senior Citizens Committee Chairman Guy Desnoyers reported that 48 seniors from the Ottawa West and St. Patrick’s Home enjoyed the Christmas Light Tour with the bus kindly donated by Art Dowd; the Christmas Day luncheon was again served at the Alex Dayton Centre with entertainment by Dominic D’Arcy and his young people; there were well over 50 Kiwanis volunteers and their families helping to serve the dinner. In July we held an award presentation to deserving seniors during a Friday luncheon; their work for the community over the years was truly inspiring. This year over 470 seniors enjoyed the Seniors’ Tea at the Chateau Laurier; the Grey Jazz Band provided the music and the dance floor was full.

A representative participated in one of the workshops at the First National Conference on Shaken Baby Syndrome held in Saskatoon. Through the dedication and commitment of Ross Hadwen, the second full year of the Club’s support of “Reading is Fundamental” at Connaught Public School was very positive. Two “formal” presentations of books were made to each of the children during the year in the presence of parents, staff and volunteer readers; the children were treated to a tour of the city on a double-decker bus; new and used clothing, “treasures” for the children and microwaves were acquired and donated to the school and reading-based computer programs were provided to the school. The Committee commenced work with partners, particularly the Federal Secretariat on Literacy, to develop tools, including a video called “Early Years Last Forever – Nurturing Literacy” and later called “Precious Minds Video”, aimed at “transferring” the latest scientific insights on emergent literacy in very practical terms to those whose individual actions can have an immediate impact upon infants in their care.

285 The Parent Support Group is working well led by Mrs. Jaquie Meelker and they are alleviating some of the financial burden from the Kiwanis Club of Ottawa. Activities of the squadron included Fly Day, Poppy Sales, Gliding, Bush Weekend, First Aid, Tag Day, Curling and Bowling Competition, Public Speaking Competition, Swim Competition, Battle of the Atlantic and Battle of Britain Parade and help at the Champions for Children Trivia Night and the Christmas Dinner. 3 cadets completed their glider and power pilot’s license. Governor General Foot Guards Committee Chairman Buck Madden reported that the Guards Cadets continued to lead the province by winning the Colonel Cleary Award (which comes with a cheque for $1,000) as the best Army cadet corps in Ontario for the 3rd straight year. This is a result of the fine leadership provided by CO Major Robert Barrette and the Parents Committee who raised over $4,000 for the cadets. Financial assistance was also provided by the Royal Canadian Legion; Kiwanis Club of Sage’s Tom Moore was again the Treasurer and performed a yeoman’s job reconciling the funding from the different sources.

Requests were for large amounts of funds as well as making commitments that would be more than one year in length; adding to that was that several requests were from organizations that Kiwanis had historically supported; it became evident that this year, until the Club’s financial picture improved, we could not support any of these worthwhile proposals. The Committee suggested that the Club be more hands-on and try to find projects that would be in sync with our mandate of Young Children-Priority One and Literacy for Kids – get involved with programs that the Club can control. • Young Children Priority One Committee Chairman Howard Whittaker reported that the Committee managed 5 projects that touched lives of thousands of children and families: • Kiwanis Read-A-Thon – Pilot Project: Launched first-everRead-A-Thon - During Read-A-Thon, the emphasis is on reading and building literacy skills in Grades 1 to 8. For three weeks during the school year, students agree to read every day and keep track of what they’ve read and/or minutes read by filling in their individual Student Reading Records. Parents, teachers or caregivers initial the Student Reading Record to verify what the student has read. Reading takes place in the classroom and at home. At the end of the program, students tally up their individual reading, and class totals are tallied as well. The totals are brought together to create a grand total based on school-wide participation. The totals are important if the school is working toward a financial goal or school resources such as library books, class book sets and other literacy tools. Our Club provided certificates and prizes to encourage the students; thanks to Howard Whittaker and his wife, Lee Ann Scott who spent hours organizing this project. 16 Ottawa elementary schools participated, 4,677 children from 211 classrooms read 38,286 books; 4 schools used Read-A-Thon as a fund-raiser and 839 students from 80 classes raised $20,513.

Special thanks not only to our great committee but to those outside of the committee, in particular Steve Tanner and his many Staples’ Associates, Ross Hadwen, Shirley Tomblin and Steve Georgopoulos who pitched in to help at the last minute; we could not have done it without our Office staff, Rita Harper and Mike Kruger. • 211 Air Cadet Committee Chairman Mike Flint reported that we obtained 40 new recruits, took part in the Battle of Britain Parade at the Aviation Museum; we held a tag Day which raised over $4,400 – the best ever!

The financial burden imposed on the Club was at an all time low requiring only $13,000 in operational funds from a high of $21,000 in year 2000.

Members and Kiwanis volunteers sold Dream of a Lifetime tickets at the CHEO Dream Home but this year, unfortunately, will be the last of our Club’s involvement with the Lottery due to increased ticket sales through the internet and at the Dream Home. This is the first year that CHEO has assumed all administration of the Duck Race including the administering of ticket sales to all Kiwanis Clubs in Division 12 and 13. • Charity Golf Tournament Committee Chairman John Norton reported that we netted almost $40,000 but there were difficulties in retaining some of the incumbent sponsors and in securing new sponsors; we will work on doing better next year. • Interclub, Sports and Social Committee Chair Kathleen Holst was proud to report that we accumulated 37 interclubs with 141 participants this year.. • 70 members and guests dinned in the elegance of the Rivermead Golf Club for a Christmas dinner; members placed gifts under the Christmas tree for the children at Connaught Public School and the evening ended by a raffle of Senators tickets and lively dance music by DJ Ron Conlin. • 37 members enjoyed the hospitality of the Mont Ste Marie gang for our Ski Weekend, in March 30 folks headed out to the Rideau Carleton Raceway for an evening of fun but the highlight of our year was the Chinese Banquet at the Yangtze Restaurant with a record setting 99 guests and a great evening of entertainment. • New ground was broken in May with a Mother’s Day buffet at the Courtyard By Marriott with 70 guests enjoying a truly family affair. • We returned to Amberwood Golf Club for our annual Golf and Tennis Day with 64 golfers participating; it was wonderful to resurrect the 1928 trophy for “Interclub Golf Champions” originally created by George Nettleton – his son Doug presented the refurbished prize to this year’s winning foursome.

We contacted both Hopewell Public School and Notre Dame School to open discussion about starting a Builder’s Club and they will approach us when they are ready to move forward. • Legacy for Life Committee Chairman Ian Hendry reported that it has been a difficult year for the Committee but our long term goal is to raise a sufficient level of capital to provide “permanent” funding for our five sponsored youth groups:AKtion Club, Circle K, Key Club and both Cadets. We completed an agreement with the Community Foundation of Ottawa who have agreed to administer the funds previously held by the Legacy Fund and invest them along with other charitable resources. We received 5 gifts this year for a total of $2,036. We proposed a merger with the Medical Foundation (subject to Board approval) for several reasons: Membership participation at the Legacy Committee has been very weak for several years; We have been unsuccessful in adequately distinguishing the Legacy and Medical Foundation in the minds of our members; there may be joint fund raising efforts that will benefit both the Medical Community and our sponsored youth groups. • Kiwanis Medical Foundation Committee Chairman Victor Ferreira reported that they reviewed the Strategic Plan and one of the goals was that by 2007, the 25th Anniversary of the Foundation, to reach the one million dollar mark in the Capital fund; we are currently sitting at a little over $700,000. The second highlight was the Bed Race which increased our share of the funds by $15,000. During the Winterlude period we participated in the Ottawa Heart Institute Telethon where a cheque for $5,000 was presented with funds going towards the research of genetics and prevention of heart disease. The third highlight was our contribution of $12,000 to the ACT Foundation to purchase 480 mannequins for the local high school CPR program to help the teachers promote the life saving CPR program. Thanks to Kiwanian Dominic Ferrarotto who approached his colleagues in the Ottawa Construction Association who championed the “Dollars for Mannequins” campaign.

All in all we raised funds for Ronald McDonald House and $18,000 for Young Children Priority One. • Program Committee Chair Dawn Morewood was sorry to report that we only had an average of 86 attendees per lunch this year; after much discussion regarding location and frequency of the luncheons in order to increase attendance, it was decided that the Fairmont Chateau Laurier was our venue of choice and we should avoid relocating if at all possible. Programs included Dave Brown of the Ottawa Citizen, Walter Robinson, Canadian Tax Federation, David Cork, author “The Pig and the Python”,Circle K Luncheon with Bill Gosewitz saying “Pay It Forward”, Dr. Jack Kitts, , Julian Armour, Ottawa Chamber Music Festival, Greg & Sue Joy, Summer Olympics and Yves Ducharme, Mayor of Gatineau. • Senior Citizens/Hands-On Committee Chairman Doug Wilson reported that the Seniors Tea was cancelled as the Chateau raised their costs for the event from $18 to $34 and there was insufficient time for us to address the shortfall. Over 120 seniors enjoyed the Christmas Dinner at the Alex Dayton Centre; thanks to Don Blakslee who provided the flowers and candies and to Joni Swedlove and Doug Wilson who provided the loot bags. Dominic D’Arcy provided the entertainment and Peter Patafie and Bob Horlick managed the food preparation and the serving. David Kardish of Rideau Bakeries supplied the punch and 25 volunteers made it an event to remember. This year saw over 40 Kiwanians and friends spend 2+ days at Camp Smitty shingling, scraping, painting, cleaning out underbrush, cooking, cleaning and entertaining. With materials and funding donated by the community and Club members, much was accomplished in preparing the camp for next summer. The year saw the Committee devote 652 hours to Seniors projects and 650 hours to Hands-On projects.

294 » Optimize the Club’s structure to include 3 Steering Committees (Fund Raising, Community Service and Operations). » Increase involved members by 10%. » Fund internally for the Club’s own internal projects. » Develop an integrated approach to fund raising to make it easy for sponsors to partner with the Club on a single project or multiple projects. » Create a formal consultation with community Partners. » Active branding of our Club to attract and keep new members, sponsors and partners.

Advertising in the Membership Roster – Ken Birch has run with this single-handledly and has raised $8,500 for this year’s roster and almost $10,000 for the 2004-05 roster – this more than covers the $4,500 cost of production.

• 24-Hour Ultimate Golf Showdown (25 HUGS) Committee Chairman Doug Wilson reported that this event was originally intended as a fundraising partnership between the Kiwanis Club Of Ottawa and the Ottawa Senators Foundation but due to the NHL lockout, Kiwanis was left to put on this event on our own which caused it to be pushed back to the Fall of 2005. The Board of Directors decided to limit the risk during a period of stabilizing Kiwanis funding and to drop 24 HUGS and put the effort behind the new ”Helping Hands” fundraiser. • AKtion Committee Chairman Harold Moore reported that a second AKtion Club was formed called the AKtion Club of Bytown. Both Clubs were very successful with approximately 50 members from each Club attending on a weekly basis. A Christmas Party was held with over 100 Club members and sponsors attending; a picnic was held at Vincent Massey Park and again well over 100 members from both Clubs enjoyed a successful afternoon; many members of both Clubs attended an Ottawa 67’s Hockey Game and some members enjoyed an Ottawa Renegades game. A few members helped with the clean-up at Abbeyfield House, a donation of $120 was made to Sleeping Children Around the World for 2 bed kits, $565 was donated to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation by the Bytown Club – all donations are from monies raised through the .50 cents each member pays weekly. • Bed Race Committee Co-Chairs Alison Poirier and Al McIntyre reported that the NCC secured Enbridge as a title sponsor. Revenue $41,727, Expenses $5,017, Net proceeds $36,710. The Board of Directors contributed $15,000 to the Medical Foundation on behalf of the Bed Race Committee. Over 25 volunteers helped to make this a great success. • Bon Appetit Ottawa! Committee Co-Chairs Bruno Di Chiara and Katie Ng reported on this, the 7th year of our participation in this fundraiser.

Two outstanding projects were started this year being a Charity Poker Tournament and Heart in the City Piano Program. Carleton initiated the Poker Tournament and raised $1,100 for Mothers Against Drunk Driving and the University of Ottawa conceived the idea of the Heart of the City Piano Program to give free piano lessons to children in beacon schools in grades 3 to 6; this September the program is being extended to 4 schools; an application for a grant has been submitted to the Trillium Foundation and if awarded, the program will be available in 8 schools benefiting over 200 children. • Golf Tournament Committee Chairman Jeremy Moore was proud to announce that, after a challenging “off” year in 2004, the 8th Tournament bounced back with arguably the best and most successful tournament to date, raising a net income of $66,366 - $450,000 net over the past 8 years! The removal of the Participant Gift was essentially a $10,000 expense that was wiped out and applied straight to the bottom line net income. Thanks to the yeoman work of Shawn Williams for taking on the tedious task of revamping our tournament’s promotional package and transforming it into an extremely professional kit befitting a tournament the caliber of ours. • Grey Cup Luncheon Committee Chairman Tom Pullen reported that the Ottawa Renegades offered to have our Club host the Friday Grey Cup Luncheon and it was well attended; although we did not capture the anticipated profits from this event, the event itself created tremendous Kiwanis Club of Ottawa awareness and proved once again that if you want a community event done well, you ask our Kiwanis Club! We raised $6,609.

298 • Interclub, Sports and Social Committee Chair Kathleen Holst reported that Jackie Holzman brought a hot news item to the forefront with a one day course on CPR; a letter was sent to Clubs in Divisions 12 and 13, offering Kiwanis Club of Ottawa speakers for their meetings and organizing an interclub around these speakers gave added interest; several members took part in this and were well received.

The highlight of the year is our most recent grant approval which came through the hard work of our own Jamie Johnson who developed a new software application called “iCanSpeak” which will provide patients who stutter with a measurable improvement in speech fluency.

Club Activities

President Peter Nadeau’s Report This was a year of many changes. While there were many ways to define our challenges, very quickly our priorities became: 1. Declining Membership and Members’ participation 2. Continuing and increasing, financial deficit 3. Effective communication The many discussions amongst our members lead us to the conclusion that the cost of membership, in both time and money, was causing many of our members to leave our Club, and just as importantly, was preventing them from recommending our Club to their friends and associates. Since our most expensive activity, in both time and money, is our weekly luncheons, your Board chose to reduce our weekly luncheon schedule to two luncheons per month as a trial. While this required some significant adjustment by our members, it was well received and was confirmed as our permanent schedule at the Special meeting in June, 2010. To begin to capitalize on these changes our Membership Committee planned and implemented their Engagement, Retention and Recruitment campaign. I am very pleased to report that we ended our year with an increase in membership numbers. We received a $77,000 bequest from an anonymous donor and we will use the funds as we get requests that meet the criteria of “helping disabled children in our city. The bylaws were revised (for the first time since 1990) and the 3 major revisions were Membership categories, Election process and Size of the Board of Directors. • Bed Race Committee Co-Chairs Gary Flockton and Alison Hunter reported on the 8th year for the Bed Race. To increase the number of teams the Committee once again formed a ‘bed building’ team to engage in the building of beds for sale to teams who wanted to participate but were unable to build their own bed and there were 19 beds built. Bedzz and Allstream returned as primary sponsors, as well as 8 other sponsors; the net amount raised was $33,019 from 33 teams.

318 • Bon Appetit Committee Co-chairs Dave Donaldson and Bruno Di Chiari reported on the 12th year of our participation in this fundraiser – we netted $21,482 with 140 items for sale which included many quality restaurant gift certificates and some were bundled with hotel packages. • Cadet Committee – GGFG Cadets Chairman Guy Milne reported that the highlight of the year for the GGFG Cadets was a visit exchange with a cadet unit in Barbados (13 of our cadets and a few staff members flew to Barbados for a week) and we reciprocated in August hosting the Barbadian unit here in Ottawa. The unit was involved in 8 Remembrance Day activities, held a successful Poppy sale and a tag day for Barbados fund raising. Over 30 cadets attended Summer Training. 211 Air Cadets Committeee Chairman Ken Miller reported that there was an increase in the number of new recruits this year. Trillium Ontario provided the squadron with a $10,000 grant which was used to purchase instruments for the band which ended the year with 16 active musicians. Over 25 cadets attended summer camps and 2 cadets qualified as power pilots. • Circle K Committee Chairman Anthony McGlynn reported that both Clubs supported the Bed Race, volunteered for various charitable organizations, attended the EC&C Convention and organized fund raising activities for the Haiti earthquake relief. • Communications Committee Chairman Jamie Johnson reported that the Committee took advantage of space in the Ottawa Citizen to run ads for the Bed Race, Bon Appetit, the Music Festival, Key Clubs, Reunion and the Golf Tournament. A new web site was created moving over 4,000 pages of history to a new site that allows for connection to social media, integrated photo galleries and a private members section. During the year 170 new pages and 190 updated pages were created and the site served about 150,000 pages. • Community Services Committee Chairman Neil McDonald reported that the Seniors Christmas dinner was again held at the Good Companions Centre and 3,500 performers and 400 volunteers took part in the Kiwanis Music Festival. The Festival held it’s first gala event “ENCORE” at the new Shenkman Arts Centre in celebration of the Festival’s 65th anniversary. 300 attendees enjoyed performances by Festival alumni and a Silent Auction organized entirely by Lynda Campbell which raised over $14,800 for the Festival. The activities of theAKtion Club are again managed by Harold Moore with assistance from Dave Trigger. They continue with their bingos every Thursday. Direct Assistance supported 14 requests totaling $9,709. • Golf Tournament Committee Chairman Pat Charbonneau was pleased to report that this year’s event was attended by 132 golfers and 14 Kiwanians volunteered for the day; the Charity Golf Tournament netted $63,081 thanks to all the Committee members but particularly to Clive Woolley for his work on obtaining sponsorships, Sheri Farahani for chairing the Silent Auction and Lynda Campbell who each year presides over golfer registration and looks after the set up and carrying out of the Silent Auction. • Interclub, Sports & Social Committee Chairman Bob Garrow reported that this year’s Christmas Party was held at the home of Bill & Joanne Gosewitz with over 40 attendees. 16 people attended a Lasagna Dinner at the home of Tom and Kim Beveridge with thanks to Dawn Morewood and those who slaved over the lasagna. In July a Barbecue was held at the home of Mike and Carol Lundy with 46 people attending and a Celtic band entertaining. Again thanks to Dawn Morewood for taking over the organizing of this event. We purchased 50 sets of knives, forks and spoons, reusable plastic dinner and small plates plus serving tongs and pie servers; these items will reduce our party supply rental costs for future events. • Key Club Committee Chairman Bob Sirotek reported that Sir Robert Borden Key Club held many successful fundraisers including a Heart for Haiti Cupcakes campaign which raised $1,000 and a very successful Toonie Drive which raised over $2,500. They participated in the Thanksgiving Food Drive and the Waffle Breakfast for the National Institute for the Blind. 319 They created awareness for Free the Children through various campaigns such as a 24 hour Vow of Silence during which the students do not speak, email or text to raise awareness for child poverty. Other activities included Toy Mountain where they raised $4,500, Dinner/Theatre Night, 4 members attended the Key Club Convention in Waterloo and the Club participated in the Kiwanis Club of Ottawa Citizenship Scholarship – the recipient was Melina Rymberg. Glebe Collegiate Key Club continues to struggle; nevertheless the Club had quite a successful year under the strong leadership of its President; they chaired the Key Club luncheon this year and were part of the “Glebe Gives a Goat” fundraiser for Plan Canada, supported the Cancer Society, Amnesty International, Sleeping Children Around the World and Glebe Goes Global. They collected toys for Toy Mountain and held numerous Bake Sales. Nepean Key Club continues to be a strong club. They held their 10th Annual Spaghetti Dinner which raised a record breaking $3,000 with over 300 guests in attendance and the proceeds went to Cambridge Elementary School to help build a play structure for their primary students. They spearheaded a winter clothing campaign for the Ottawa Mission and several other shelters and collected 5,000 items of winter clothing including 50 snowsuits for new families coming to Canada. This year’s members have clocked over 1000 hours!!! Lisgar Collegiate Key Club held several bake sales as well as their annual Spaghetti Dinner, a jellybean guessing contest and an Eastergram event; in total they raised $790. • Kiwanis Medical Foundation Committee Chairman Wayne French reported that Dr. Claire Footi was awarded the Kiwanis Club of Ottawa Medical Foundation and Dr. Kanta Marwah Scholarship in Medical Physics for her PhD thesis and she was awarded a Senate Medal for Outstanding Academic Achievement. We granted $15,000 to the University of Ottawa for the Parkinson’s Research Consortium Fund which now totals $85,000 that we have given to this fund. We completed our pledge of $25,000 to support the Elizabeth Bruyere Research Institute for pressure sensitive mats. Since its inception we have donated $1,050,547.65 for the advancement of medical treatment and research within the Ottawa area. • Membership Committee Chair Dawn Morewood reported that we introduced 9 new members this year, 4 new Corporate Members and 1 new Honorary Chaplain; we received 10 resignations and regret the passing of Ed Mulkins. We now have a total of 163 members. The sub-committee on Engagement, Retention and Recruitment led by Allan Castledine and Ross Christensen was set up to represent an effort to be proactive and systematic in reaching out to members both to enhance individual experience as well as Club performance. 110 of the targeted group of 137 members were contacted representing an 80% success rate and resulted in many recommendations as the “Policy and Process for Membership Progression in the Kiwanis Club of Ottawa” to be put in place in the future. • Program Committee Chair Hélène Crabb reported that, starting with the first meeting in November, and on a trial basis, the Club would meet twice a month instead of every Friday as was adopted at the June 2010 semi-annual meeting. As a result, 26 meetings were held compared to 50 in past years. On average 66 attended luncheons, 50 of whom were members or roughly 33% of our membership and the Committee reaffirmed its earlier decision that the Fairmont Chateau Laurier was our venue of choice and that relocating would not improve attendance. Highlight speakers included Cyril Leader, Senators Sports & Entertainment, Dr. Rosanne, President of Carleton University, Brigadier General Thompson, Senator Mike Duffy, Mayor Larry O’Brien, Max Keeping CJOH Television, Senator Jim Munson, Sue Holoway, Jamie Johnson “How to Navigate our new Website”, Mayoral Candidates Debate and Russell Mills “Future of Newspaper in Canada.

320 • TV Bingo Project Committee Chairman Tom Burnie reported that, in response to a Club need for seeking a new fundraiser, an earlier Feasibility Study concluded that a TV Bingo concept, based on the Kiwanis Club of Hamilton East model, was achievable. An initial project planning team comprised of Phil Rossy, Steve Moore, Guy Bourbonniere and Tom Burnie visited the Hamilton Club and gained valuable insight into their TV Bingo operations along with some of the ongoing lessons learned. We established partnerships with the Quickie Stores as the basis for the sales distribution network and with Rogers Television for producing the weekly program; in addition several retirement homes complemented the vendor mix. On March 26, 2010, the Club membership approved a funding investment of up to $100,000 (over 2 years) as start-up capital and operating costs; the preliminary expectation was that the project would clear approximately $72,000 in its trial-operating period. The project team, under the leadership of President-elect Phil Rossy, comprised of Tom Burnie (Project Manager) Steve Moore (Sales & Distribution Team Leader), Deidre Powell (Legal Counsel and TV Production Leader), Gary Flockton (Operations Support Leader), Guy Bourbonniere (Board Representative), Geoff Godding (Sales) and Warren Gencher (Marketing); the team blossomed into about 80 volunteers organized by Dawn Morewood and John Bathurst (a non Kiwanian) joined the team as the Bingo Manager with Tom Beveridge providing comptroller advice. The goal is to start the first program on November 8th, 2010. • Young Children’s Projects Committee Chairman David Urie reported that the Committee’s primary project was the Read-A-Thon which for many years was championed by Howard Whittaker and Lee Ann Scott; this year Laura Johnson stepped in to assume the role of Program Coordinator to replace Lee Ann and did an excellent job in her first year managing the many different aspects of this project and thanks to our webmaster Jamie Johnson for getting all the registration material and program information online. This year the project had 34 schools registered involving 11,169 students with 20 schools in Ottawa (12 Beacon Schools – economically disadvantaged), 6 schools in other Canadian cities and 8 international schools. The 3 year endowment from the Lea Cross Foundation has now expired and funding from one of our major partners, Canada Post, was suspended indefinitely due to budget restraints. • Reading is Fundamental Program at Connaught Public School continues with Ross Hadwen leading this program; they collected and donated books to the school library, collected winter clothes for children in need and helped with other school projects, as required. Our two videos (Precious Minds and "NeveryShake a Baby") have evolved over time from their initial format as VHS cassettes to now being available as DVDs and are available online. Financials

We must look for a new title sponsor as Bedzz will not be returning next year. We were fortunate enough to have 10 other sponsors this year. • Bon Appetit Committee Co-chairs Bruno Di Chiara and Dave Donaldson reported on the 13th year of our Club’s participation in this major fundraiser where we netted $17,556 with gross earnings of $43,479. Once again Steve Tanner’s crew from Staples lent us a hand by providing table security and cash handling using an electronic charge system for debit and credit cards. Our returning Committee members such as Tom Spence, Kanta Marwah and Tom Beveridge as our Marshall contributed to our success; special mention goes to Bob Alyea who appraised the donated jewellery and to Dawn Morewood for coordinating our volunteers and special thanks to Lynda Campbell and Barb Perrin for their behind-the-scenes help during the event and to Rita Harper who, as always, stepped up to the plate and gave us hours of diligent help. • Cadet Committee Chairman Ken Miller reported that this year the Club adopted a sponsorship funding formula for the support of our two cadet units - $250 per cadet, based on the number of cadets on parade at the Annual Ceremonial Review, plus 10% growth in funding for the following year (i.e. 80 cadets on parade x $250 = $20,000, 10% Growth 8 cadets x $250 = $2,000 – Total sponsorship $22,000). This sponsorship amounts to approximately $50% revenue required to support the units. The balance comes from funds raised by the Squadron Support Committee of the Air Cadets and the Unit Support Committee of the Army cadets and DND. The funds do not support salaries, summer camps or uniforms. The211 Kiwanis Air Cadets Squadron had an increase in the number of new recruits, they participated in a number of parades, over 25 cadets attended summer camps and two qualified as power pilots.

324 The Glebe Key Club has rebounded from close to extinction in previous years to becoming a very strong Club with 25 to 30 members regularly showing up. Their numerous fundraisers included the Bed Race, bake sales, coffee house, food bank drive, etc., they volunteered at the TV Bingo, Bed Race, etc. and set up an anti-bullying campaign that has caught the attention of many schools. There were five members on the Executive of Lisgar Key Club with 25 members regularly attending each meeting. A partial list of Club initiatives include: A major Spaghetti dinner fundraiser, a Toy Drive for Christmas and worked on “The Eliminate Project” which has a goal to rid the world of tetanus. Several successful fundraisers smaller in size such as bake sales, Eastergrams, etc. were undertaken. The Executive at Sir Robert Borden was comprised of 4 officers with 10 fulfilling support roles in public relations, photo archives, and “Free the Children Coordinators”. Attendance ranged from 35 to 95 people, but on average saw about 45 students at each meeting. As in the previous year, members were 90 percent females and 10 percent males.

Key Club provides food and beverages as a fundraising initiative for their Club with part of the proceeds going back to the school to help pay for the needy projects, numerous “Free the Children” initiatives,“Save the Bengal Tiger” fundraiser and various volunteer activities. • Medical Foundation Committee Chairman Wayne French reported that the Foundation in 2008 set up a scholarship called the ‘Kiwanis Club of Ottawa Medical Foundation and Dr Kanta Marwah Scholarship in Medical Physics’. The Foundation honored its second payment of three pledges of $15,000 to support Carleton’s assistive and rehabilitation devices research group. Your KMF pledged $50,000 to the Ottawa Hospital Foundation for research in the da Vinci Surgical Robot. We are most appreciative for the receipt of $10,000 from the Usher estate, which will be a part of this pledge. A special Honour Plaque for Kiwanian Lorne Usher will be placed in a special patient examination room in the Ages Cancer Assessment Clinic at the Ottawa Hospital. Since its inception the Kiwanis Medical Foundation has donated $1.2 million for the advancement of medical treatment and research within the Ottawa area. • Membership Committee Chairman Ross Christensen reported that 12 new members and 2 Honorary Chaplains were introduced to the Club; included in these were 3 new Corporate Members representing the Shred-It Corporation and the Ottawa Boys & Girls Club. We also introduced a new Family Membership category. 11 members resigned and we were very sorry that Lorne Usher passed away. Total membership at year end was 165. • Program Committee Chairman Bernie Shinder reported that a highlight of the year was the luncheon at which Justin Trudeau spoke to the Club with approximately 400 attending including 221 students. Average attendance during the year was 40%. We concluded that there are several challenges that face the Committee: 1) There are those who want the Club to remain at the Chateau Laurier and those who would prefer another venue; we met this challenge by holding approximately 30% of the luncheons at the Airport Hilton where parking is free and the food is perceived to be better. The perception of the Committee and many members is that the food at the Chateau Laurier continues to be of poor quality. 3) Some members of the Committee believe that the quality of the speaker drives attendance while others believe that attendance occurs pretty much independent of the speaker unless the speaker is of such outstanding quality to be a “star” attraction. This problem is exacerbated by the fact that meeting agendas are so crowded that the speaker is left little time; the Committee recommends that speaking time be increased to 45 minutes. Speakers included Dave Smith “Drug Rehab Centres”; Col. Pat Sogran; John Baird, MP; Dr. Victor Rabinovitch; Wayne French “Waste Management”; Police Chief Vern White.

325 • TV Bingo Committee Chairman Tom Burnie reported that the TV Bingo Project launched its first live program on Rogers Cable 22; the initial 32 week trial cycle extended throughout the summer months concluding on September 26, 2011 with 45 weeks of successful operations.

We completed our sales distribution network of 33 Quickie Stores, completed the minimum essential operating and support materials with the procurement of a bingo console machine with essential accessories, 3 laptop computers and specialized software, a computer monitor for office operations and promotional materials.

This year we made the 3rd payment of $15,000 towards our $45,000 pledge to Carleton University to support their assistive and rehabilitation devices research group in the Bio-engineering Faculty and the first of four instalments of $25,000 towards the $100,000 pledge to the Regional Cancer Foundation research “Making Cancer Cells Die”. We provided $5,000 to the Ottawa Cardiac Oncology Program at the Ottawa Hospital Cancer Centre to assist in research relating to the rapid assessment of cancer patients who are at risk of, or have experienced, cardiac toxicities from their cancer therapy. For the first time in its long history, we partnered with the Lung Association of Ontario,by supporting pioneering respiratory research being conducted in the research at the Ottawa Hospital and CHEO by Dr. Bernard Thebaud by providing $25,000 to the Association. His work is focused on infants suffering from surfactant deficiency which prevents lungs from developing normally. Our Foundation’s portfolio at year end was approximately $680,000. • Membership Committee Chairman Ken Nelson reported that we increased our membership by two this year with 18 new members and 12 members resigning and Jack Warner, George Perrin, Ian MacDonald and Vic Whittaker deceased resulting in membership at year’s end of 170 members with 10 Honorary and 160 Active members. President Peter Charboneau was elected to serve as Lt. Governor for 2 years. We remind our members that the Membership Committee has a budget to cover the cost of three luncheons for potential members. Corporate Membership Committee Co-chairs Clive Woolley and Ian Peddie reported that this year a new Committee was formed to add new organizations from the public, private and volunteer sectors. Each new organization can have a minimum of two members in the Club; 7 were introduced during the 2013-14 year – Ottawa Senators, Metcalfe Realty, Stevenson & Hunt Insurance Brokers, OSEG Ottawa Sports & Entertainment Group, Dymon Storage, McMillan LLP and Ottawa Boys and Girls Club. • Music Festival Committee Chair Barb Perrin reported that the Festival was held at 11 different venues and had approximately 2,100 entries with 8,000 young music participants. The Music Theatre Trophy Night was held at Glebe St. James United Church, the Highlights Concert at Algonquin College and the Celebration Concert at St. Thomas the Apostle Church was attended by 150 people; the event raised $2,000 for the operating budget. 46 entries went on to the Provincial competitions, 19 placed in the top three at the Provincial Competition, 2 choirs went to the Nationals winning best overall and 1st place for best performance by a choral group from a single school, 19 and under.

339 Established Spirit of the Streets Choir, in partnership with Ottawa Innercity Ministries, aimed at street- involved youth, giving them the opportunity to learn about music and the benefits that come from a musical education; funding for this program came from the Ottawa Community Foundation ($10,000) and the Ontario Trillium Foundation ($39,000). • Program Committee Chairman John Callan reported that the Committee secured diverse and interesting speakers for 24 meetings including the CFL Redblack luncheon at the Ottawa Conference and Event Centre with 72 members and 362 guests attending. In May our Corporate member, Ottawa Senators Hockey Club hosted a lunch at Canadian Tire Place where 67 members and 11 guests heard Cyril Leader speak and members were treated to a tour of the new facilities. In September our OSEG Ottawa Sports & Entertainment Group corporate member hosted a buffet luncheon at the new TD Place, Lansdowne Park where 97 members and 30 guests attended to hear Roger Greenberg speak. Our average member meeting attendance rose slightly this year to 48 and guest attendance increased to 25. A Luncheon Satisfaction survey of 15 questions was held to seek feedback from our members on the choice of venue for luncheons, the cost of luncheons and parking as well as program likes and dislikes. We received 88 responses representing more than 50% of the Club membership; the conclusion from the survey results is that the Fairmont Chateau Laurier is still the preferred location with the Hilton Garden Inn a close 2nd. The cost of luncheons was not an issue but an equal number of respondents would pay whatever for the parking costs and an equal number did not want to pay for parking. The majority of members think that the luncheon meetings are just the right amount of time and the biggest negative was that the food is not appealing. Other speakers included Ian Lee, Sprott School of Business, Mark Sutcliffe, Chamber of Commerce, Kent MacDonald, President of Algonquin College and Mark O’Neill and “Vietnamese Boat People”. • TV Bingo Committee Chairman Guy Bourbonniere reported that we tried increasing the amount of Super Bingos this year; this did increase revenue but did not materialize in the gross margin that we were hoping for. We have initiated the Valpak marketing and hopefully this will increase players in the stores who are in the same geographic area where we use the Valpak product. We did run into some production issues (all on Rogers) such as the HD Rogers signal not working. Our sales dropped across the board after this event. With the game changes and more advertising going on (Valpak) sales finally started to climb. Thanks to Don Charboneau for being the Operations Leader, Frank Nisi as Production Manager and offering legal support for the contract, Steve Moore for his great moral support and experience and Warren Gencher in Marketing, as well as all members of the Committee for their tireless effort to deliver one of the Club’s most successful fund raiser week in and week out. Gross Sales October 2013 to September 2014 $514,974; Prizes paid out $198,958; Monthly Income $316,015; Net Profit $209,923. • Overall for the Club In October 2014 in order to comply with the new Ontario “Not for Profit Corporation Act” (ONCA), we formed a Management Committee. We moved to a governance structure with a Board of Directors that oversees the Club, and the day to day management of the Club will be managed by a Management Committee, all subject to: 1st, the Club’s by-laws and 2nd, the delegation of authority from the Board to the Management Committee. The transition will see us operating pursuant to our current by-laws, with a significant and required change to the by-laws to comply with the ONCA and then operation, pursuant to the ONCA and the Club’s new revised by-laws. The Management Committee reports to the Board of Directors.

340 There will be 8 people on the Management Committee as decided by the Board. It will include the Secretary Treasurer and the President Elect. The Commitee is not limited to this arrangement.

• AKtion Club Committee Co-Chair Dave Trigger reported that the AKtion Club runs weekly at the Royal Canadian Legion on Kent Street. The space is donated to us by the Legion, and we have the meals catered by Elite Catering. AKtion Club is actually 2 Clubs - the AKtion Club of Ottawa, and the AKtion Club of Bytown - which meet on alternating Tuesdays from 6:00 until 8:00. With the assistance of non-Kiwanian volunteers (Denis St Louis, former member of Kiwanis Club of Ottawa, Mike St Louis, and Denis Lefebrve) and other partner clubs and organizations (Kiwanis Club of Ottawa-West, Kiwanis Club of Sage, ACT/UCT, Kiwanis Club of Manotick, Kiwanis Club of Ottawa, and OCAPDD), a meal and entertainment is provided to between 120-140 developmentally disabled adults (between the two groups) in a format that loosely resembles a Kiwanis Club of Ottawa meeting. So far this year we’ve had entertainment including Bingo, games, dancing, and music. We’ve had “guest appearances” from Glebe High School. Many of the members of AKtion Club have AKtion Club as their sole entertainment activity. The current AKtion Club advisors are Dave Trigger and Harold Moore with assistance from Kathleen Holst (for nights the Ottawa Kiwanis Club is sponsoring AKtion Club). • Bed Race Committee Chairman Jamie Johnson reported that this, our 13th Race, was another successful event with Accora as our repeat title sponsor and they provided 4 of their own teams in the Race. With their $20,000 sponsorship we netted $40,000. Allstream also returned as presenting sponsor. The Committee once again formed a bed building team for sale of beds to teams that wanted to participate but were unable to build their own bed. This was the 3rd year the Club was able to involve Algonquin College in building beds and their contribution was significant for the Committee. The Committee implemented an online registration and pledging system which allowed teams to solicit funds electronically. Special thanks go to Mike Zanon who once again secured an ideal warehouse space allowing the beds to be constructed, painted and stored. On race day 40 supportive and willing volunteers showed up. As always, their cheerful participation helped make the event a success.

342 Corporate sponsors included: Accora Village, Allstream, Lone Star Texas Grill, McDaniel’s Y.I.G., and Dymon Storage. • Cadet Committee Chairman Ken Miller reported that the squadron participated in a number of parades including the Battle of Britain, Battle of the Atlantic, Remembrance Day, the Club’s annual Remembrance Day luncheon and the Annual Mess Dinner. Over 20 cadets attended summer camps. The senior camps included, Senior Leaders, Band, Bush Survival and Gliding. Other activities included, bush weekends, band performances, biathlon, drill, public speaking competitions, Tag Days and poppy sales for the Westboro Branch of the Royal Canadian Legion. We continue to enjoy an excellent working relationship with the Squadron Support Committee (SSC) lead by Mark Cianfaglione. 2784 Royal Canadian Army Cadet Corps (Governor General’s Foot Guards) was extremely active throughout the year. As a result of their affiliation with the Governor General’s Foot Guards, the cadet unit enjoys a high profile in the community. They attended numerous parades at the National War Memorial, stood vigil at the War Museum on November 11th and participated in many civic events. 30 cadets attended Summer Training, participated in various advanced courses, international exchanges and staff cadet summer employment programs. We continue to enjoy a good relationship with the Unit Support Committee headed by Michel Asboth and Joe Pelisek the Army Cadet League Representative. They are certainly a dedicated and enthusiastic group. • Circle K Committee Chairman Howie Lithwick reported that the Ottawa U Circle K had another very successful year. They had 3 co-Presidents and this was felt to be a good idea as when one of them was busy with assignments or exams, the other two were able to step in and ensure the success of what was going on. 5 members of the Club volunteered at Vision Quest, a conference put on by the Foundation Fighting Blindness and 9 Club members attended the Remembrance Day service and laid a wreath at the War Memorial. A bake sale raised $250 for the Snowsuit Fund and members attended their 3rd annual Rideau Perley Veterans Home pre-Christmas program of making gingerbread houses and trains with the residents. In January they held a social program at a bar with the proceeds raised donated to the Eliminate program and a Valentine’s Day bake sale with the proceeds going to the Ottawa Heart Institute. Members participated in the Bed Race with their own bed designed by a Club member, winning one of the races and coming in second in another. Carleton University Circle K Club was not active during this year although Kristen Delcellier has now taken over the Presidency and, we hope, will bring the Club back to respectability. • Communications Committee Chairman Jamie Johnson reported that the Committee took the following steps: » Web site activities: The Committee continued to maintain and update ottawakiwanis.org, kiwanisreadathon.org, preciousminds.org, nevershakeababy.org, kiwanistvbingo.org, and the site for the entry of TV Bingo ticket sales. » During the year, 150 pages were created or updated pages, and the sites served over 30,000 pages. » The Committee initiated some changes to the brand logos for the Club, bringing them into line with new guidelines from Kiwanis International.

344 • Homelessness Committee Co-Chairs Suzanne Johnston and Ron Petersen reported that late in 2014 reducing Homelessness in Ottawa was identified as a “big idea” and an area where there was a big need within the Ottawa community and across the country. The Kiwanis Club of Ottawa (KCO) felt they could make a difference and wanted to take on this important initiative. Although it would be a big challenge it could also increase exposure for Kiwanis. This endeavor is big and we are only just beginning. A small group in late 2014, which included several Kiwanians, such as Peter Charbonneau, Mark O’Neill and Howard Whittaker, met with several community groups to discuss the Homelessness problem and identify areas of interest for Kiwanis. Out of this research an Ad Hoc Working Group was formed and Ron Petersen and Suzanne Johnston stepped forward as Co-chairs for the growing group. Peter, Mark, Howard, and Phil Rossy continued to be involved with the group and ideas and research continued. We decided to focus our efforts at this time on youth homelessness. We were fortunate to have valuable input from members that work in this sector including Rev Ken McLaren and Dan Brunette. When studying different organizations the group looked to identify how KCO could best partner. “Hands on” involvement, financial support, partnerships and/or branding. We also looked at how our partnership would benefit the largest group of homeless, what age group would be assisted, what type of recognition would Kiwanis achieve and what would be the ongoing involvement of KCO. Various members of the group met with and heard from different organizations, including, the City of Ottawa: Community and Social Services/Housing Services Branch, Multi Faith Housing, the Alliance to End Homelessness, the Youth Services Bureau, Ottawa Innercity Ministries, Operation Come Home, The Good Companions Centre, Push for Change/Joe Roberts and Chuck McIlravey, a member of Barrie Kiwanis who works with “Barrie Out of the Cold”, to mention a few. We have also attracted two new members to KCO to work on this committee and welcome Teresa Bermingham and Judi Pullen. As we researched this “epidemic”, we discovered that we were not the only group wrestling with a clear direction. The City of Ottawa was in the midst of changing its funding platform and many groups that did not fit the “Housing First” criteria were seeing massive funding cuts. Groups were having to reinvent themselves or lose funding. Support to the homeless and those marginally housed would stand to lose during these funding cuts and directional changes. The Youth Services Bureau was a group identified by the group in the first half of 2015, which would meet many of the KCO criteria. They were positioned to offer a Bricks and Mortar component, community profile with their many events, ongoing involvement by way of sponsorship and “hands on” volunteer work. A commitment by KCO to the YSB was made in April 2015 in two parts. $25,000 was given to the YSB in 2015 for their study and the additional $25,000 is earmarked for 2016, or once the Youth Homelessness Building Project is granted the money from the City of Ottawa to build their new building. Another key initiative being undertaken by KCO with regard to Homelessness, is the partnership with “Push for Change” and Joe Roberts. This initiative is no cost to KCO, however the volunteer roster will be harvested along with the Circle K and Key Club groups. It is our intent that other Kiwanis groups will also be called to action with Joe’s trek and the profile of Kiwanis will be raised across the country. In conclusion, although this working group now has a direction with respect to immediate events, the work has just begun and we are committed to work with different community organizations to help eradicate Homelessness over the next 10 years. • Interclub Sports and Social Committee Chairman Glen Vaillancourt reported that the focus of the ISSC for the year was to re-establish the importance of Interclubs, continue to support the relevance of social activities for membership, and to search out new and exciting fun venues with a view to appealing to a broader spectrum of membership interests. To that end, six Interclubs were successfully carried out with the following Clubs: Barrhaven, Rideau Club (Charter Night), Ottawa West, Manotick, and Ottawa-West.

345 The Committee helped host the Stratford Club for an Interclub on June 5, while Arthur and Dawn Morewood made the trip to Stratford to visit former member Helene Crabb. Unfortunately we lacked the numbers for an official Interclub but what we missed in quantity was ably supported through the quality of the Ottawa Club’s representation in Stratford in July. Thanks to Shirley Bradley for her leadership and organization of the Interclubs held. Turnover - A small but lively group got together at the Airport Hilton to relive the 60’s and welcome the new President while acknowledging the contribution of the outgoing President. Marilyn Monroe was a highlight for the event coupled with the dancing moves that most of us are grateful went out with the 60’s. Big shout out to Allison for taking on the organization of the event. Christmas Party: The annual Christmas Party for members was held at the Royal Ottawa Golf Club in Aylmer. A live band, great food and a spectacular venue were the highlights of the evening. 46 partiers took in the festivities. Winter Weekend Getaway to Mont Ste. Marie - An enthusiastic group of 18 Kiwanians found their way to a winter wonderland at the chalets of Allan & Marjorie Castledine and Wayne & Firma French. Arriving on Friday to join the locals at the lodge for dinner, and then back to the chalets for a good night’s sleep in preparation for a day of recreation of your choosing. The evening meal was delightful with appetizers and main meal at the French Chalet and dessert and table hockey at the Castledine Chalet. Great fun and great company. Chinese Dinner Night - was held at the Yangtze Restaurant with a great turnout of almost 100 attendees. Participants enjoyed a 10 course meal, an address by the Chinese Ambassador, dragon dance, martial arts display, cultural dancing and more. Thanks go to Ryan, Kathleen and Lynda for bringing us this very well received event in April. Turnover Night - Good participation from the Club at this annual event, where the outgoing President is recognized for their contribution through the past year and the incoming President sets the stage for our expectations for the coming year. The event was held at the Lone Star Ranch. The food, the line dancing instruction and the camaraderie were the highlights for the event. The monthly dinner meetings being hosted at the homes of the Committee members, continues to be a cherished tradition for this Committee. • Key Club Committee Co-chairs Guy Milne and Ron Vincent report that the 8 Key Clubs support approximately 350 students. The Key Leader Program, two weekends at the Circle Square Ranch in Arden, Ontario is full of team-building activities and saw 65 students attend each weekend. The Fall Rally saw all Presidents and Executive members from Divisions 8, 9 and 10 Key Clubs come together for a Saturday full of practical training on how to run a Key Club, raise funds, how to ‘pay it forward’ as well as providing an opportunity to the incoming Lieutenant Governor an opportunity to establish his or her role and leadership for the District. A large group of Key Clubbers were involved in the Kiwanis Bed Race; 34 students attended the EC&C District Key Club Convention in Toronto. 121 students attended the annual Key Club luncheon; this event provided an occasion and venue for an interclub with our Key Club colleagues in Ogdensburg, N.Y. 5 students competed for our Rick Barrigar Scholarship and it was presented to Vanessa Khuong who is attending Trinity College at the University of Toronto. 3 students were sponsored to the Internaqtional Convention in Indianapolis, In. with Kiwanian Janet Atkinson Des Roches acting as our chaperone. • Medical Foundation Chairman David Daubney reported that the Trustees this year were Don Blakslee, Allan Castledine, Dominic Ferrarotto, Neil McDonald, David Daubney (Chair), Clive Woolley, Dr. Kanta Marwah,Tom Burnie and Rev John Moor. The Trustees sit on the Committee of the Medical Foundation with other members of the Kiwanis Club of Ottawa who this year were: Nicholas D’Aoust and Hassa Mirchandani.

346 All of us deeply regretted the passing of our Founding Trustee and beloved colleague George Perrin who remained an active and dedicated member until his death. Tom Burnie filled that vacancy in November, 2014. The Foundation, in 2012, pledged an amount of $100,000.00 to the Ottawa Regional Cancer Foundation. This funding is directed to Dr. Robert Korneluk’s ground-breaking research MAKING CANCER CELLS DIE! This contribution is being paid over four (4) years in annual instalments of $25,000 that began in 2013, continued in 2014 and will be paid in 2015 and conclude in the first quarter of 2016. After distributing the final $25,000 to the Ottawa Regional Cancer Foundation the value of the Foundation’s portfolio at year end was approximately $660,833. • Membership Committee Chair Janet Atkinson reported that KCO membership numbers were alarming this past year in that we introduced 6 new members to our Club and 16 members left our Club with 154 members at year end. A number of items have been brought to the Membership Committee and the Board. They are: Our Club’s membership list needs to be regularly and thoroughly reviewed; the membership list has contained members who have not paid Dues for a few years. Corporate Membership Committee Chairman Peter Charboneau reported that we decided to continue the goal of adding new organizations from the public, private and volunteer sectors. The purpose of increasing this category of membership is to not only enrich our Club but also to enable the new members to have networking opportunities with various Ottawa business leaders in a common community cause. Each new organization can have a minimum of two or more members join our Club. Possibly this could be a representative from a senior management position who can add their skills and expertise into Kiwanis. As well, this could become a developmental opportunity for a newer employee. Our Committee was comprised of nine members and we developed a list of 35 potential new corporate members to add to the 7 that were introduced during the 2013/2014 year: The current members, up to September, 2015 are: » 1) War Museum/Museum of History; » 2) Metcalfe Realty; » 3) Arthur J. Gallagher Canada » 4) OSEG Ottawa Sports & Entertainment Group; » 5) Dymon Storage; » 6) McMillan LLP » 7) Ottawa Senators; » 8) Smith Bradley Insurance; » 9) Boyd Moving & Storage; » 10) Shred-it. • Music Festival Committee Chairman Paul Arnold reported that the 2015 Festival took place from April 4 - 30th at 10 different venues throughout the Ottawa area. We had approximately 2,215 entries across all disciplines. These numbers translate to about 4,000 young music participants. Entry income was up $6,700 this year from the previous year. Music Theatre Trophy Night showcases the incredible talent of these young artists in this category. In addition to Ashbury College and Glebe St. James United Church senior piano and music theatre was held on a real stage at the Ritchcraft Theatre. The Highlights Concert was held in May and continues to be the “highlight” of the Festival, showcasing the best young musicians who competed throughout the Festival. This is also the opportunity we have to award scholarships and trophies in a very public manner. The Celebration Concert in honour of Gary Morton’s retirement was held in October 25 at St. Thomas the Apostle Church. It included special performances by festival alumni Bryan and Sylvie Cheng, Jonathan Estabrooks, David Atkinson, and De La Salle Choir. The Gary Morton scholarship will provide funding to a senior student for a minimum of $750/year.

347 Achievements: » Over $46,000 in scholarships were distributed along with dozens of trophies. » Close to 60 entries went on to the Provincial competition held in Peterborough – 6 choirs, 3 orchestras, 1 band, 3 music theatre, 5 piano, 1 junior chamber group, 1 strings, 4 voice, 3 guitar, 5 woodwinds, and 1 brass. » 25 participants (ensembles, bands, individuals) placed in the top three at the Provincial Music Festivals Competition. » Canterbury High School Male Chorus went to the Nationals winning 1st Place in their category Spirit of the Streets Choir, continuing in partnership with Ottawa Innercity Ministries, aimed at street- involved youth, giving them the opportunity to learn about music and the benefits that come from a musical education. Funding for this program came from the Ottawa Community Foundation and the Ontario Trillium Foundation ($46,600). • Program Committee Chair Rachel Kooyman reported that a total of 22 meetings were planned including several Club luncheons such as the AGM, Semi-annual Business Meeting, the Legion of Honour/Hall of Fame, Circle K, Key Club and Turnover Day. Notable luncheons included: Lt. Col. Francis Chilton-McKay who spoke on Remembrance Day, the Family Christmas Party, the Bed Race recognition luncheon, the Dymon Lunch at the Duke of Devonshire, New Members Induction and Fun Luncheon, Clarisa Arthur from the Youville Centre, Louise Logue “Truth About Street Drugs”, Imam Mohamed Jebara “Defunking Stereotypes and Myths” and Ian Glen from ING Robotic Aviation who spoke about drones. Joint Kiwanis-Ottawa Safety Council Safety Village Project Committee Chairman Tom Burnie reported that in response to the “Big Idea” proposed by the Board of Directors and endorsed by the Club, a Committee was formed to explore the idea of supporting the Ottawa Safety Council for the creation of a Safety Village which would offer safety options for school children, parents with babies and young children and would teach safety at home and on the streets. The initial idea was that the Kiwanis Club of Ottawa would provide up to $50,000 per year for 10 years to assist with the developmental work; in turn, there would be consideration for Kiwanis naming rights for the facility, KCO use of facilities for an office and other activities and possible volunteer opportunities, etc. OSC conducted a feasibility study to examine all aspects of developing and operating a Safety Village; the study concluded that the project was not feasible within the scope and scale envisioned. The project was therefore cancelled for the foreseeable future. As an aside, KCO would have been unable to contribute as expected because of the shortfall in Club revenues. No KCO funds were expended. In conclusion, this was an excellent opportunity for KCO to expand its reach in supporting children and enhancing its name in the greater Ottawa area but regrettably the project could not come to fruition. • TV Bingo Committee Chairman Don Charboneau reported that this was the first year where we experienced both a decline in gross revenues and net profit. We continued testing the use of Super Bingos, with a corresponding increased prize board (an approach we discontinued in 2015-16). Unfortunately, multiple Rogers technical issues from 2013-14 triggered a significant drop in regular viewer membership from which we did not recover in 2014-15 and the increased prize board led to a significant drop in net profit – Revenue 2013-14 $480,132, in 2014-15 a difference of -$59,868. Net profit $139,939, a difference of -$27,190. In speaking to 3 other Kiwanis Clubs running TV bingos, they all indicated that they were experiencing significant year over year downward trends in their TV bingo revenues. This trend appears to be driven by two factors – for KCO TV Bingo specifically, Bell Canada’s transition from satellite to fiber has allowed it to more effectively compete with KCO TV Bingo partner Rogers; the second issue, impacting all Clubs, is the ‘cord-cutting’ phenomenon where people are cancelling traditional TV subscription and transitioning to internet based television and movie solutions such as Netflix.

348 The ultimate goal is to increase customer awareness of KCO bingo and second, we approached Rogers regarding the possibility of streaming the bingo on the internet which would allow us to expand the reach of bingos to a much larger geographic area; Steve Moore is working very diligently towards this plan.

Club Activities

• AKtion Club Committee Co-Chair Dave Trigger reported that the 2 AKtion Clubs still meet on Alternate Tuesdays at the Legion on Kent Street with catering by Elite Catering. Regretfully, in December, Harold Moore, one of the Kiwanians responsible for bringing the AKtion Club to Ottawa passed away; he was a 20 year member of our Club and he will be missed by many. In May the AKtion Club hosted an AKtion Leadership Conference. • Bed Race Committee Co-Chairs David Puff and Jamie Johnson reported that this, our 14th year organizing this event, was another successful one; with the $20,000 sponsorship of Accora Village we netted over $35,000. This was the 4th year that we were able to involve Algonquin College in building the beds. The Committee continued to use GiftTool, an online registration and pledging system which allowed teams to solicit funds electronically. Accora Village also provided 3 of their own teams and, on race day, 40 supportive and willing volunteers helped out. Corporate sponsors included: Accora Village, Hometown Sports Grill, McDaniel’s Y.I.G. and Dymon Storage. • Cadet Committee Chairman Ken Miller reported that the 211 Squadron enjoyed another excellent training year but unfortunately, because, as our fundraisers were decreasing over time, it was a financial decision to discontinue our sponsorship of the Governor General Foot Guards cadets. The Air Cadets participated in numerous parades including the Battle of Britain, Battle of the Atlantic, Remembrance Day, the Kiwanis Club of Ottawa’s Annual Remembrance Day Luncheon and the Cadets Annual Mess Dinner. Over 25 cadets attended summer camps; the senior camps included Senior Leaders, Band, Bush Survival and Gliding. Other activities included bush weekends, band performances, biathlon, drill, public speaking competitions, Tag Days and Poppy Sales for the Westboro Branch of the Royal Canadian Legion. • Circle K Committee Chairman Howie Lithwick reported that this was an excellent year for the University of Ottawa Circle K Club as they worked very well with 3 co-Presidents and a good “flow-through” with former Key Club members from Glebe, Sir Robert Borden and Nepean High School joining Circle K. A Bake Sale was held with proceeds donated to the Snowsuit Fund; an on-going project was the collection of used books and used eyeglasses which were to be sent to third world countries (in the end it was not possible to send on the books so they were donated to W.E. Gowling School).

350 The Club made a major commitment to participate in the “Push for Change” project and 5 members helped serve breakfast to those people who had been involved in a sleep-out on a cold November night. A social program was held at a night club in the Byward Market, the proceeds of which were donated to the “Push for Change” project. Members of the Club again volunteered at the Kiwanis Christmas Dinner at the Good Companions Club and one of the members played the piano; Club members, for the 4th year, visited the Perley-Rideau Veterans Home, chatted with the residents, played music for them and generally provided them with a very enjoyable couple of hours. “Women Helping Women” is a project which involves Circle K Club members collecting donated purses and filling them with toiletries and other items needed by women and donating these to women’s shelters. Bake Sales were also held for this purpose. The Chairman attended the Circle K International Convention in Toronto, along with 2 Club members and several members were involved in the “Circle for Sight” project which raised $75,000 for the Foundation Fighting Blindness. The “Heart of the City Piano Program” is now in its 11th year and remains strong with 5 participating schools; Circle K members attend to teach the students at their schools every week from September to April and the children at these schools get so much from being a part of this Program. The recital for the children which was held at Tabaret Hall, Ottawa University, was at the highest level with 65 participants. • Communcations Committee Chairman Jamie Johnson reported that the Committee took the following steps: » Web site activities: They continued to maintain and update ottawakiwanis.org and kiwanistvbingo.org and the site for the entry of bingo ticket sales. » During the year, 150 pages were created or updated and the sites served over 30,000 pages. » The Twitter account for the Club is now up to 60 followers, which includes very few Kiwanians. » The Club’s Public Facebook page made use of a number of Facebook ads to draw attention to events. Unfortunately postings from the Club are not being shared or liked by most members. » The Club’s Private Facebook page is not being used by most Kiwanians either. • Community Services Committee Co-chairs Barb Perrin & Mike Lafontaine reported that $63,000 was allocated - $26,249 for minor funding requests, $25,000 to the Youth Services Bureau, $2,000 to Seniors/ Hands-on and $12,000 to the Kiwanis Music Festival. Direct Assistance Funding Committee reviewed 71 minor requests and approved 32 but due to the budget shortfall they were not able to fund any major funding requests this year. TheSeniors Committee held its Annual Christmas luncheon at the Good Companions Centre – this included pre-dinner sing-a-long music, good food, a little vino and loot bags which were enjoyed by all. Kanta Marwah and Neil McDonald once again engaged members and their families as well as friends and sponsored youth to help by setting up and serving. Hands-On/Shred-it and Christmas Project with $10,005 raised from our 8th annual “Watch-it, Shred-it Day”, along with donations from Club members, family, friends and business associates, we raised a record- setting amount which enabled us to fill 645 cartons of food plus a turkey and deliver food hampers to 215 families; in addition a major sponsor provided food for another 45 families for a total of 260. The weight of the food distributed was 35,000 pounds! We were also the fortunate recipient of a large anonymous donor which allowed us to buy an additional 30 food vouchers, each with a value of $150 for needy families. Our thanks to Algoma Orchards, Costco Canada, Erb Group of Companies, the staff at Hendry Warren LLP, Ottawa Carleton District School Board, Ottawa-Carleton Mortgage Inc., Shred-it, The Boys Give Back and the Ray Otten Group; the fundraising and corporate assistance covered this project entirely.

• Interclub, Sports & Social Committee Chairman Rob Thompson reported that the year was divided into seasons known as “The Four Seasons” each with a Lead & Co-Lead. Interclubs remained a high priority for all of the “Four Seasons”; there were two themes to Interclubs, Divisional and Charter/Governor/ Anniversary Celebrations, etc. There were Interclubs with 4 Clubs throughout the year and a Charter Night with Manotick and the Governor’s Dinner at Algonquin College. Turnover Night (2015) was held at the Lone Star Ranch with good food, line dancing instruction and camaraderie to recognize outgoing President Wayne French and welcome incoming President Steve Tanner.

An Interclub had been set up with the Hamilton Club; however, due to a questionable weather forecast, the Captain felt it prudent to leave Port early and the Interclub had to be cancelled. 352 Canadian Museum of History Tour & Mill St. Brew Pub – a very successful event with over 25 attending a guided tour through the vaults of the Museum followed by time spent in the Mill St. Brew Pub. Wine & Water – In August over 35 members enjoyed an afternoon of wine tasting at Domaine Perrault Winery complemented by cheeses by our own Committee; a pool party followed, hosted by Ron & Teresa Petersen with BBQ burgers, salad, etc. Redblacks & Fury – In July 14 members attended the Redblacks Football game and in August 12 attended the Fury Soccer game which included an all you could eat buffet, free parking, etc. Turnover Celebration (2016) – a small but lively group got together at Zoe’s after the Friday luncheon to celebrate Turnover Day. • Key Club Committee Co-Chairs Guy Milne & Ron Vincent reported that we support approximately 350 students across eight schools. The Rick Barrigar scholarship, has been reduced from $5,000 to $3,000 due to fiscal constraints but is a large attraction to the students. It was won by Victoria To who also won the Distinguished President, Eastern Canada Key Club International award, in addition to winning the Honours Certificate for all four years of High School at Colonel By. A Key Leader’s weekend was held at the Circle Square Ranch in Arden, Ontario with over 65 students attending. The feedback was again overwhelmingly positive. All Presidents and Executive members from Divisions 8, 9 and 10 Key Clubs came together for practical training at the Fall Rally. Key Clubbers were involved in the Kiwanis Bed Race and College St. Joseph entered a bed in the race; 35 students attended the District Covention in Kitchener-Waterloo and this was their first ‘convention’ experience. 8 of our own members were elected to various positions; Ron Vincent acted as chaperone from our Club and two female chaperones from other Clubs assisted us. Jim Kyte, Dean of Algonquin College’s School of Hospitality and Tourism was this year’s speaker at the Key Club Luncheon at Sala San Marco. Three of our Keyclubbers attended the Key Club International Convention in Atlanta, Georgia at no cost to the Kiwanis Club of Ottawa. • Medical Foundation Committee Chairman David Daubney reported that the Foundation is administered by 9 Trustees, appointed by the Kiwanis Club of Ottawa Board of Directors. The Trustees this year are Don Blakslee, Tom Burnie, Allan Castledine, David Daubney, Chair, Dominic Ferrarotto, Dr. Kanta Marwah, Neil McDonald, Rev. John Moor and Clive Wooley. Since its inception in 1980 the Foundation has provided $1,216,147 to various organizations including a $25,000 donation as the last of a 4 year $100,000 commitment to the Ottawa Regional Cancer Foundation. • Membership Committee Co-Chairs Janet Atkinson Des Roches and Dawn Morewood reported an Engagement and Recruitment Campaign was planned throughout 2015 and launched in September under the leadership of President Wayne French, President-elect Steve Tanner and Director Steve Moore. The Engagement aspect of the campaign is to foster ongoing fellowship and mentoring for all Club members so that each member participates in the Club according to their talents, interests and availability. In addition the Commmittee is looking to being proactive in recruiting new members. 15 new members were recruited and there were 13 resignations for an increase of 2 members. Past President Peter Charboneau was re-elected as Lt. Governor for the third year. Past Presidents Tom Spence and Ross Hadwen maintained 40 years perfect attendance since joining the Club.

353 Corporate Membership Committee Chairman Peter Charboneau reported that the Committee held a cocktail function in the board room of McMillan LLP, hosted by Ron Petersen for potential new members which was very successful. New corporate members are Concentric Associates, Gowlings WLG, Otus Group, La=Z-Boy Home Furnishings and Golpro Holdings. • Program Committee Chairman Damian Ford reported that 23 meetings were planned during the year. The rising cost of meals at the Chateau Laurier continues to be a concern. This year luncheons increased to $41.00 and parking went up to $13.00. To provide us with options we tried some other venues and a Sub-Committee was set up to review our venues in the hope of finding one that is within an acceptable cost range, while keeping with the level of service we are accustomed to. The following locations were investigated: KS on the Keys, Milestones at Lansdowne, Salo San Marco, Rideau Tennis Club, Airport Hilton Hotel and the Ottawa Hunt & Golf Club. The final decision will be determined in the next fiscal year. • TV Bingo Committee Co-Chairs Don Charboneau and Howard Whittaker reported that 2015-16 was a transition year for the TV Bingo. Last year we diagnosed one of the primary challenges facing bingo (declining Roger’s viewership). The first step was to limit our marketing and prize spending for the year but while we have stabilized and improved our profit position, we fully realize that skimping on marketing paired with declining revenues year-over-year is not a suitable business plan. The second step of our plan focused on new options, specifically: » Investigating new distribution channels » Reviewing sales and cross-referencing with demographic data to better target marketing activities » Identifying new options for marketing, and most importantly » Securing permission to stream the Rogers cable feed online. » Macs indicated that they will soon be taking control of the Esso On-the-Run stores; once fully integrated in the Macs family (soon to be rebranded Circle K), these will serve as new distribution locations; unfortunately this will not be be completed until the summer or early fall of 2017. We have secured Macs support in preparing an exterior sign marketing campaign to bolster our presence in our key markets. Warren Gencher was able to secure an improved deal with the Ottawa Sun and the Citizen and we have explored additional marketing opportunities through several of the community newspapers. We tested the streaming solution in the summer and it worked as promised; unfortunately securing permission to go live was not obtained until March 15, 2017; more than 3 years of engagement with Rogers has finally paid off. Phil Asselin landed another business opportunity and, in November, stepped down as our Bingo Coordinator but remains on as our Bingo Caller; Sarah Binczyk joined our team as our new TV Bingo Coordinator. Total Profit for the year was $156,672. Financials

• AKtion Club Committee Co-Chair Dave Trigger reported that the AKtion Club still runs weekly at the Royal Canadian Legion at 330 Kent Street. The space is donated to us by the Legion and we have the meals catered by Elite Catering. AKtion Club is actually 2 different Clubs which meet on alternate Tuesdays at the Royal Canadian Legion. We are pleased that former Kiwanian Mike St. Louis has accepted the responsibility of Co-Chair for the AKtion Clubs. He gratefully donated the pop left over from his son’s summer 2017 wedding to the AKtion Club. Sales of pop to AKtion Club members generated enough funds to enable them to purchase 3 holiday hampers in support of the Kiwanis Christmas Food Hampers project. Actions are underway to continue direct fund raising from the Club members. 2 AKtion Club branded jackets are being purchased to enable a fund raising year end raffle. Donations of pop are being procured (but we could always use more) as pop sales proved to be a huge hit with the AKtion Club members. Proceeds from both of these activities will go to a suitable Kiwanis funded project. • 211 Air Cadet Squadron Christine Yamazaki, the 211 Squadron Sponsoring Committee Director reported on behalf of Chairman Ken Miller The 73rd Annual Cadet Review (ACR) was held June 4, 2016 at the Salaberry Armoury with Lieutenant- General C.

The 211 band cadets served or participated in the Ottawa Help Santa Parade, music clinics, Orleans Parade of Lights, Kiwanis Music Festival, Rapinese Association Parade, Ottawa Champions Baseball Game opening ceremonies, and Soundwaves concert. Due to disastrous spring flooding in the National Capital Region, the 74th ACR could not be held at the Salaberry Armoury; it was rescheduled to May 17, 2017 at Notre-Dame High School (our regular training location) with Past President Allan Castledine (211 Squadron’s first cadet and Kiwanis Hall of Fame inductee) as the Reviewing Officer. The Year-End Trip was held in June with a fun, educational weekend trip to Quebec City. • Bed Race Committee Co-Chairs Dave Dubue and Jamie Johnson were pleased that the Bed Race was another successful event; with Accora Village as our repeat title sponsorship of $20,000 the net proceeds were $35,000 for this, our 15th year of organizing this event and the 5th year that we were able to involve Algonquin College in building the beds. Special thanks to Mike Zanon who once again secured an ideal warehouse space allowing the beds to be constructed, painted and stored. On race day 40 supportive and willing volunteers were on hand to make the event a success. Corporate sponsors included Accora Village, Hometown Sports Grill, McDaniel’s Y.I.G. and Boyd Moving and Storage. • Circle K Committee Chairman Howard Lithwick was proud to report that this year was a superb one. A Bake Sale was help with the proceeds used to buy purses, fill them with appropriate toiletries and various necessities which were delivered to women’s shelters in the city. 8 Club members attended and volunteered at Vision Quest, a conference presented by the Foundation Fighting Blindness which dealt in fighting against Macular Degeneration and Retinitis Pigmentosa. In December, Club members attended the 5th Annual program at the Perley-Rideau Veterans Home where they worked with the residents, played music for them and provided them with a very enjoyable couple of hours. This time they made gingerbread cookies with the residents in a joint program with members of the Nepean High School Key Club. 5 Club members attended a sleep-out in support of the homeless held at TD Place at Lansdowne Park and helped serve breakfast to those who were participating in the sleep-out. Club members helped serve the Christmas Dinner at the Good Companions Centre and volunteered at the Kiwanis Bed Race. A joint fund-raising and social program to promote contact between the members of the Kiwanis Club of Ottawa and the Ottawa U Circle K Club was held in the form of a Wine and Cheese program and was well attended. 5 Club members volunteered on the Ottawa planning committee for the Cycle for Sight bike-a-thon which raised $60,000 for the Foundation Fighting Blindness. The Ottawa Heart of the City Piano Program was in its 12th year and remained strong with the five participating schools, Connaught, Manor Park, Queen Mary, Vincent Massey and York Street public schools. The Directors teach the students at their schools every week from September through April and the children get much from being part of this Program. The Recital was held in Tabaret Hall at the Ottawa University with 65 children participating.

357 • Communications Committee Chairman Jamie Johnson reported that the Committee continued to maintain and update the web sites, during the year 150 pages were created and updated and the site served over 45,000 pages. The Twitter account for the Club is now up to 85 followers which includes very few Kiwanians. The Club’s Public Facebook page made use of a number of Facebook ads to draw attention to events; postings from the Club are not being Shared or Liked by most Kiwanis members. • Community Services Committee Co-Chairs Barb Perrin and Mike Lafontaine reported that this Committee is responsible for supporting Direct Assistance requests (both for individuals (minor) and for various organizations (major $5,000), Hands-On projects, Senior Citizens’ programs and the Kiwanis Music Festival. These activities are funded through our TV Bingo proceeds. The annual budget was $82,772 and allocated as follows: Minor Funding less than $5,000 ($38,272), Major Funding $5,000 and over ($30,000); Seniors/Hands-on/Citizenship Court $2,500; Music Festival $12,000. Seniors Committee The Committee held its annual Christmas luncheon - as they have for many years – at the Good Companions Centre. 125 grateful seniors attended. Pre-dinner sing-a-long music, good food and wine, along with loot bags were heartily enjoyed by all. Kanta Marwah, Neil McDonald, and Guy Bourbonniere helped organize the event. Special thanks go to Frank, the Chef at Good Companions along with the musical arrangement provided. Hands-On/Shred-It Committees and Christmas Food Hampers Project On Saturday, October 21, 2017, we held our 9th Annual Watch-it Shred-it Day at Hampton Park Plaza. The five hour event was staffed by twenty-three of our members and the employees of the Shred-it company with their five trucks. We had an excellent turnout of people needing shredding with over 400 vehicles, shredding 1018 boxes and raising $8664. As there were no expenses, this total amount was used to help fund our Christmas Food Hamper Program. On Saturday, December 16, seventy six drivers delivered a total of 220 Food Hampers to needy families. Each hamper consisted of 3 large cartons of nutritious food and a turkey (a total of 137 lbs), which is enough to feed a family of four for a week. The total value of the food was $33,700 and was the result of a large cash donation from Costco, 190 free turkeys from Costco, donations from a number of our members and friends of Kiwanis plus the money raised from our Watch-it Shred-it Day. The Committee members organizing the Food Hamper Program were: Ian Hendry, Dave Trigger, Bill Gosewitz, Neil McDonald and Ian Peddie, and we thank them again for their hard work in putting together another very successful Food Hamper program this past year. • As a member of the Direct Assistance Committee, one learns very quickly the astounding number of people who cannot get any assistance whatsoever from any of the myriad of support organizations in the community. They need and deserve help and cannot find it. Direct Assistance funding is the very essence of our club’s community service. Our focus is to assist those individuals who “fall through the cracks” and are in dire need of support. Many requests are received from individuals, youth and seniors (usually from case workers, social workers and occupational therapists), community organizations and foundations that help the disabled and disadvantaged. In 2017, the Committee reviewed 66 minor funding requests (i.e. less than $5,000) primarily from individuals and some youth campership requests and approved 31 cases for a total of $33,596. Funding for our major funding requests (greater than $5,000), are reviewed in two separate funding cycles. The first is from Oct 1 to Jan 31 and the second from Feb 1 to July 31. In fiscal 2017, we received five funding requests in the first cycle, ranging in requests from $10,000 to $25,000. We funded two requests in this cycle, one to the Outcare Foundation for equipment for Hospices for $10,517 and one to the Education Foundation of Ottawa for $5,000 for their autism water safety program. In the second cycle, we received 6 funding requests, and funded one of the requests, Serenity Renewal for Families for their BABES Program, in the amount of $1,890.50.

358 The Committee, via the Board, was asked to also contribute $8,000 from the major budget in conjunction with the Medical Foundation contribution towards the Eliminate Program to help the Club finalize its last financial commitment to this project. • Golf Tournament Committee Chairman Mike Moore reported that 120 golfers took part in the Tournament which was held again at the Ottawa Hunt Club and 15 Kiwanians worked hard to make the tournament a success. The Tournament raised $37,000 and over the 20 years of our Tournament we raised approximately $1,214,000 with the support of our sponsors and players. • Governance and Strategic Support Committee Co-chairs Brian Reinke and Wayne Beaudoin reported that the following matters were considered during the year: Corporate bylaws, Compliance with Canada Revenue Agency requirements, Audit advisory Committee review and support for financial reporting, Risk Management, Board and Management Committee Operation, Controls and procedures, Youth protection matters and reference checks, Club policies and procedures and other Board requests for advice and assistance. The Committee reconciled the Club’s bylaws with the template requirements set forth by Kiwanis International and the Club bylaws do not comply with the template as the template requires amendment in order to accurately reflect the requirements of the Ontario Corporations Act under which the Club is presently incorporated. This is a matter that requires further consideration at the District and International level. • Interclub Sports and Social Committee (ISS) Chairman Ryan Fung reported that ISS Committee continued to adopt the “The Four Seasons” approach. Each season with a Lead and Co-lead helped organize activities that are unique, memorable, and interesting for the Committee membership. These events promote participation and offer opportunities for Kiwanis members to meet and exchange ideas to further support the cause of the Club. Interclub: with no exception, this year’s Interclub activities remained a high priority for the Committee. There were two themes to Interclubs, Divisional and Charter/Governor/Anniversary Celebrations etc. There were numerous Interclubs throughout the year i.e. Ottawa West, Rideau Club, Sage Club, Orleans Club as well Manotick (Charter Night) Algonquin College (Governor’s Dinner) etc. This year’s Turnover event was organized in a Round Robin format with each group of guests enjoying various courses of meals catered and served as scheduled among three houses. All the houses were within walking distance. On behalf of the attendees, a very special thank-you to Rob Thompson, Hassa Mirchandani and Ian Hendry for opening up their beautiful homes to everyone. Christmas Party Nov. 25th: Following a Committee member survey it was agreed that we needed a quieter place for our Christmas Party. The venue was changed to the Mystical Greek Restaurant on Kent Street. With 46 in attendance and again the ‘Secret Santa’ added to the fun. It was a hugely successful night. Parliament Hill Tour (Feb 22) : A very special tour indeed! David Daubney has managed to out-do his previous ones again. He d for Mr. Peters, the User of Black Rod to provide a grand tour to the Committee members. This was certainly a great and memorable evening for everyone. One of the best ones yet! Winter Getaway to Mont St. Marie (March 3,4,): We arrived on the Friday and joined the locals at the lodge for dinner and then headed back to the chalets for refreshments. Saturday morning and afternoon were free for a day of recreational activities of your choice. The Saturday evening ‘Round Robin’ was hosted by the Boyce’s, French’s and Castledine’s (1st house appetizers, 2nd house meal and 3rd house dessert/coffee & table hockey tournament). Kiwanis District Convention May 17, 18, 19, Every Committee member volunteered to help and meet arriving Convention visitors. The airport was covered by Manotick Club members, leaving the bus and train stations to be covered by our Club volunteers. David Daubney also organized a Parliament Hill tour for the Convention.

359 Wine & BBQ : An afternoon of wine tasting at Domaine Perrault Winery with a variety of tasty treats complimented by cheeses and munchies brought by Committee members. followed by a BBQ/pool party hosted by Ron & Teresa Petersen. Mmm... those juicy burgers and salad. It was a real splash. Not to mention the special background musical entertainment. A very enjoyable evening for all. Special thanks to our hosts who donated all the proceeds ($700) back to the club. Halloween Theme (Oct 28) : Tom Burrow graciously offered to host this theme night ‘Hat Party’ with pizza & beer. Tom also offered Whisky tasting to those so inclined. • Key Club Committee Co-Chairs Guy Milne and Ron Vincent reported that we support approximately 350 students across 8 High Schools. 5 students competed for the Rick Barrigar Scholarship which this year was in the amount of $3,000 and was awarded to Kate Vokral, a senior at Sir Robert Borden High School. Approximately 65 Key Clubbers came together for a weekend at the Circle Square Ranch in Arden, Ontario with Steve Georgopoulos and Rita Harper who acted as chaperones. In October all Presidents and Executive members from Divisions 8, 9 and 10 Key Clubs came together for a full day of practical training on how to run a Key Club, raise funds, how to ‘pay it forward’ as well as providing an opportunity to the incoming Lt. Gov. To establish her role and leadership for the District. Many Keyclubbers volunteered in the Bed Race and Gloucester High School and College St. Joseph entered beds in the Race. 34 students attended the Eastern Canada District Convention in Niagara Falls and two attended the International Convention in San Antonio, Texas. Lianne Laing, reporter and host of CTV’s Morning Show was the speaker at the Annual Key Club luncheon which was handled completely by the Keyclubbers. • Medical Foundation Chairman Tom Burnie reported that, to date, the Foundation has distributed just under $1.3M. As required by the Deed of Trust, the KCO Board of Directors appointed nine (9) Trustees to administer the Foundation. Beyond the mandated complement of trustees, the Committee also included interested Kiwanians who are non-voting members; Trustees - Don Blakslee, Walter Boyce, Allan Castledine, Dominic Ferrarotto, evelyne Kikoskin, Dr. Kanta Marwah, Rev. John Moor, Clive Wooley and Tom Burnie, Chairman. Non-voting members are Cynthia Bled, Philip Smith. Neil McDonald, Botho von Hampeln and President Stephen Tanner (ex-officio). In addition to revenues generated from investments and random small donations, the list below shows the Foundation’s major financial operations: $19,040 previous year Investment income for spending in 2016- 17, $5000 bequest from former member, the late Wilfred Parry, $503 donation from Kiwanian Imam Mohamad Jebara Bicycle Ride, $20,400 donation from Kiwanian Allan Castledine (transfer of stock), $60,000 restricted donations for the iCanSpeak Medical Research Project that will deliver a suite of software applications for use on mobile devices intended to advance medical treatment for persons afflicted with Stuttering, Danbe Foundation, RKIL (Jamie Johnson - Kiwanian) committed $70,000 in-kind contributed work services, software development tools & hardware for a total of $85,903. Disbursements $12,500 The Elizabeth Bruyère Augmented Alternative Communications Project (offset of last year spend from KCO Direct Assistance Committee), $3000 Trustee Administrative Fees - Cost recovery share for KCO operations, $2,600 KCO annual financial audit share estimate – Total $18,100. Financial Summary: The Foundation exceeded the requirement to spend 90% of its annual income ($17,500 of the $19,040) by $600 for medical research and Trustee Administration Fees which necessitated drawing the difference from the capital investment base. Strategic Questions:

360 » For the next business year, the Foundation will explore three strategic questions for enhancing mandate effectiveness. » What are options for revenue generation e.g. (Remain with current method only or relying in investment income and donations? Explore other methods e.g. funds from other charities? Explore major projects with private seed funding? » What is the most effective use of Trust Income to provide best value (Remain with current method; reacting to “shot-gun” benefactor organizations? Concentrate on one benefactor organization? Sponsor medical education in research? » Should the Trust terminate before 50 years (What is the value in continuing? What is the value in terminating?) • Membership Committee Co-Chairs Janet Atkinson Des Roches and Dawn Morewood reported that an Engagement and Recruitment Campaign was held throughout the year under the leadership of President Wayne French, President-elect Stephen Tanner and Vice President Steve Moore to foster ongoing fellowship and mentoring for all KCO members so that each member participates in the Club according to their talents, interests and availability; in addition we are looking to being proactive in recruiting new members. Membership at year end included 140 Active, 9 Honorary for a total of 149 – during the year we brought in 17 new members and had 23 resignations. Presently the Committee is developing a Member Departure Database based on exit interview information collected over a number of years. This data will help to determine why members leave the Club. Corporate Membership Committee Chairman Peter Charboneau reported that in September, 2013, the Corporate Membership Committee organized for the 2013/2014 year under the direction of Peter Charboneau with the goal of adding new organizations from the public, private and volunteer sectors. The purpose of increasing this category of membership is to not only enrich our Club but also to enable members to have more networking opportunities with various Ottawa business leaders in a common community cause. Each new corporation can have a minimum of one two or more members join our club. We met our years’ objective of inducting 7 new corporate members. In June of 2017 we held our third annual cocktail function for potential new members and it was held in the board room of Gowlings WLG. Potential members were introduced to Kiwanis and the function was very successful. It will be repeated in June of 2018. The 15 current corporate members, up to September 30, 2017 are: Canadian War Museum/Museum of History; OSEG Ottawa Sports & Entertainment Group; Dymon Storage; Ottawa Senators; Arthur J. Gallagher Canada Limited; McMillan LLP; Smith & Bradley’s Insurance; Boyd Moving & Storage; Concentric Associates; Gowlings WLG; OTUS Group; La-Z-Boy Home Furnishings; Golpro Holdings; Algonquin College; Investment Partners Fund Inc. Unfortunately, Arthur J. Gallagher Canada Limited, Gowlings WLG, OTUS Group, McMillan LLP and Boyd Moving & Storage all chose to not renew their membership in October, 2017. However, 3 people from these 5 Corporate Memberships converted their membership to being individual members of our Club. What the Committee has learned is that while Corporate Membership is of interest to many companies, some companies feel they cannot spare their employees time away from work for Kiwanis so they lose interest in continuing. Often, the employees find that they very much like being in Kiwanis and so continue on as an individual member. Early in the new calendar year of 2017-18, we accepted two new Corporate Membership members being: Athens Rugs & Staples and we currently have 3 or 4 potential new members that we believe will join as members in 2017-18. Our goal is again 7 new Corporate members. • Program Committee planned a total of 25 meetings including the AGM, Legion of Honour, Circle K, Key Club and Turnover Day. Some of the guest speakers included Mayor Jim Watson, Dan Ciuriak speaking on NAFTA, Bruce Linton, Canopy Growth, Rabbi Bulka on Kindness. We held Breakfast meetings and lunch at Greekfest.

361 One of the biggest challenges is the rising costs of luncheons which is something that has been on the Committee agenda consistently for several years. This year we tried 3 new venues such as the Rideau Tennis Club, the Ottawa Hunt Club and the Airport Hilton Hotel – the Ottawa Hunt Club was the venue of choice. During the year our Chairman Damian Ford had to step back from Kiwanis work for business reasons and we thank Ron Petersen for stepping up as Co-chair for the last of the meetings. • TV Bingo Committee Co-Chairs Don Charboneau and Howard Whittaker reported that this year saw many new milestones for the TV Bingo with the key strategic shift being the long-awaited implementation of TV Bingo internet streaming in May. This deploys the Rogers TV signal onto the internet, allowing our customers to play bingo on any web-enabled device. This frees our customers from the need to be a Roger’s cable customer as well as expanding the potential area of service; we have begun tracking how players are viewing bingo (TV or streaming) and have had multiple streaming viewers. We raised $388,800 with a net profit of $157,570. Sales were down this year approximately 3% from last year though this was a smaller decrease than the previous two years. The reduced decline in revenues we believe is a result of changes in both our approach to marketing and operations. Building on extensive research from the previous year, we implemented an exterior sign marketing campaign outside of 15 Circle K (formerly Macs) stores to bolster our presence in our key markets; at the majority of stores we noted a measurable uptick in sales week over week. Based on anecdotal discussions with customers and bingo winners, we believe that this was the primary driver in securing new customers and largely halted the year over year revenue decline this year. We also made some progress in expanding our distribution. Circle K (Mac’s Stores) has taken control of some of the Esso On-The-Run and Ultramar stores in the Ottawa region. Once fully integrated in the Circle K family, these will serve as new distribution locations but this will not occur until sometime in 2017-18; Circle K has also expressed interest in expanding bingo distribution at their locations outside of Ottawa. We have not yet pursued this opportunity as we are investigating how best to market Bingo outside of the Ottawa market. This year we struck a Bingo sub-committee to investigate the province’s plan to license a new game – Catch the Ace. Popularized in , it provides another mechanism to raise restricted funds for the Club. While we did not secure a licence until 2017-18, we undertook a great deal of work last year. It is our intention to announce Catch the Ace winners during the TV Bingo game and cross market through different media; it is our hope that Catch the Ace will draw new players who will then become TV Bingo players. Catch the Ace winners during the TV Bingo game and cross market through different media; it is our hope that Catch the Ace will draw new players who will then become TV Bingo players. Requiring around 200 volunteer hours per month, TV Bingo is a large, multi-faceted project with many moving parts. It is a major source of community funding for the Club and, as such, requires the support of more than 60 volunteers. We thank them and the Bingo Manager Sarah Binczyk for their tireless efforts in keeping the Committee on track and running smoothly. Financials
