Fabac Christmas charity 2017

Al had volunteered to take on organizing the charity part of our Christmas event. Here is an update from Al:

The money will help send a "kid to camp". (summer of 2018)
The program is administered by Easter Seals N.B. for Camp Rotary at Grand Lake.

Each child that attends Camp Rotary has a disability. The average cost per child is approx $925 for the week.

The income tax receipts will be issued by Easter Seals N.B. They will issue an income tax receipt for $20 and above. So please include name and address if you wish to receive a receipt.

I will have a donation box available at the 2017 Christmas party next month.

Thank you
Al Thomas

Report on FABAC November Meeting

       Attendees of the November FABAC dinner/meeting were greeted by the long lost couple, Lise and Alex.  It's been a while and we were all happy to see them again. We almost sang Happy birthday in recognition of his recent birthday (89! Wow!) They were sternly admonished by all for their long absence, and they promised not to be strangers—weather permitting.

• As a few folks dug into the buffet, Gary opened with a short recap of the Oktoberfest run.  It was well attended by both groups, and for once the weather cooperated. 
• The upcoming Christmas party  (Dec 13th @ McGinnis Landing) will feature a yankee swap and a charity collection. 
• John introduced his brother Keith, here visiting from the UK.  
• There will be a rally from Buffalo N.Y. to Halifax next year.  It's a Hemmings sponsored event and will pass through here sometime in July.  As more information becomes available we hope to perhaps plan a concurrent event in conjunction with their overnight stop. 
• John Dewitt proposed a run on the Cabot trail sometime in the spring.

       John's quiz proved much more difficult this month with many questions drawing a lot of quizzical faces.  Tim won the contest with John Dewitt coming in second.

Anyone need a project?

Attention! New NB law requires headlights.

A new law comes into effect November 1st " all vehicles operated on New Brunswick roads must display daytime running lights. If a vehicle is not equipped with daytime running lights or they are inoperable, then headlights must be turned on at all times."

A violation will result in a fine of $172.50 and the loss of 2 demerit points.

Thanks to Kelvin for passing along this important information.
