At this meeting, the Club gave best wishes and presented the Bauman family (Ron, Sharon & Mike) with a going-away gift as they were already packed and heading off to reside in Elliot Lake. The Club formally announced the end of the School Fishing Program -- and thanked Ron for his leadership with it since its inception. Ron looked after getting the fishing gear a new home by donating it to the police so the Kids & Cops Fishing Program could continue on.

The Club also confirmed that it was giving up responsibility for hosting a bingo session every second Saturday evening. With its revenue thereby severely reduced, the executive began the process of reassessing the Club's commitments and the funding of various programs.
