Burns Club holds November Meeting Elects new member to Board

The Winnipeg Robert Burns Club welcomed John Madden to the Board of Directors in an aclamation held at its November Luncheon Meeting. John, a member of several years standing will complete the term of Chris Conway, who resigned in the spring due to family commintments.

Also, those in attendance approved the Board recomendation that the Burns Supper be held on Sundasy, January 25, 2009. The decision to hold the event on a Sunday is unprecendented in club history, but with 2009 marking the 250th anniversary of Burns birth, it was held to be appropiate. The Supper Committee are exploring the possibility of a late afternoon/early evening event, rather than the usual 8:00 p.m.

Burns Club Resumes Luncheon Meetings

The 2008-09 schedule of luncheon meetings resumed this afternoon. Club members and friends gathered at Churchill's in the Marlborough Hotel, the club's new home.

Following lunch, the assembled gave a spirited "Happy Birthday" to Club President Roy McLeod, paid tribute to three deceased former members and learned some of the details of the forthcoming Burns Supper.

Copies of the latest club newsletter were distributed by Secretary Jim Carrigan, and copies of the Report of the Constitution Review Committee were made available as Chairman Colin Harris asked for members' input, prior to the final report. The report will be presented formally at the Annual General Meeting in April.

Whatever mitigates the woes,

or increases the happiness of others,

this is my criterion of goodness:

and whatever injures society

at large, or any individual in it,

this is my measure of iniquity.

For thus the Royal mandate ran
When first the human race began
The social, friendly, honest man
Whate'er he be

'Tis he fulfils great Nature's plan
And none but he.
