Little Free Lending Library

• Douglas has spoken to the Library Board Chair. A library cannot be placed in the location suggested due to the area being closed off.
• Alternate areas:
  • Foodland?
  • Lobby of ELNOS building?
    • Brenda advised that this was explored with our first LFLL years ago, owners would not grant permission.
• Perhaps with the library set to re-open in the coming weeks this initiative is unnecessary.

100 Elliot Lakers Who Care

• Bill received information from Paul Eldon:
  • ELNOS is also funding part of this project with the City of Elliot Lake agreeing to cover any shortfall.
  • City of E.L. will be doing/assisting with the installation.
  • There is a slight delay with the vendor; but, the project should be going ahead this summer.
• Shawn and Bill will be starting into this year’s event shortly.

TV Bingo

• John updated the club following his fact-finding mission regarding this potential project.
  • Before summer, participants were seeing approx. $2 to 3K profits. Since summer (fewer participants) approx. $1K.
  • TV Bingo executive decide which groups may join.
  • He spoke with a couple of members who seemed amenable to the idea of Rotary participating.
  • Participants of TV Bingo are also required to participate in Bingo Hall bingo.
  • We would have restrictions placed on the funds raised via this venture in the same way as the funds are from our current Bingo venture.
• Concern expressed over the time/work commitments required for participation with TV Bingo.
• Funds raised would not be able to be used for: e.g. Youth Exchange; International projects.
• Perhaps we need to find other fundraising project(s) that are not as restrictive on how we use the funds raised.
• Follow-up with this at the board level.
