Bill Brunjes will update us on the state of the Golf Day next Tuesday and what needs to be done.
Last Week
Jean-Noell Dollet, the Marketing and Commercial Director for France & International of Le Club des Marques, spoke to us on the history of Armagnac and how it is made. He also
spoke of the difference between Armagnac and Cognac. It was an interesting illustrated talk as Armagnac is not well known in South Africa.
Next Week
Robert Fischer of Fischer Furs will talk to us about furs today. It should be an interesting talk on what many would consider to be a controversial subject.
Fischer Furs is one of the last specialist furriers in the world.

The annual Pub N Paint event by the Rotary Club of Edmonton Whyte Avenue raises money each November to fight polio. The Alberta club’s regular meeting venue, the Rooster Kitchen, hosts the event. “I do a little spiel about the state of polio and Rotary’s role in eradication,” says Stan Bissell, a past president of the club who inaugurated the project. It’s not unusual for visitors to remark how little they know about polio, he says. “We talk about it so much in Rotary, but people don’t know and think it’s a disease of the past.” After his presentation, an art teacher distributes blank canvases and brushes, guiding Rotarians and guests in replicating landscapes such as Edmonton’s cityscape and a mountain range. “There are some very talented people” among the club’s members, reports Bissell. “But it’s variable — mine is in the garage.”
