Dear fellow  Skallegues,     
We have now arrived at the summer break for our Club meetings.  If you have not attended the past couple of meetings, specifically the May Mystery Dinner Event and the June 28th Member Development meeting with the visitation of Marc Rheaume -President Skal Canada ...then you have missed some very good ones.   We thank Marc for making his way from Calgary to conduct the club visitation and also being a member of the industry panel.  Thanks are also extended to Dale Bruzell, Chair Social Committee for her work in arranging the events for these meetings.  I have received very favourable comments for the direction of our meetings.   Thanks is also extended to Lilian Tankard for moderating the Industry Panel discussion at our June dinner meeting.  The panel with Nick Hays, Pres. & CEO Winnipeg Airports Authority, Ryan Whibbs, Chair Hospitality & Culinary Arts Red River College Polytech, Marc Rheaume, President Skal Canada & Hotelier and Mark Fallis, Director Sales The Fort Garry representing the MB Hotel Association provided updates for their sectors and answered the formatted and ember questions .

So the Club takes a break over July & August and will return to our fall meetings on September 27th.   Enjoy your summer and we will see you in the fall.
