The suggested donation for use of the church room is $1 for club members, $2 otherwise (waived for first time visitors.) All donations go directly to the church. There is a phone in the church hall on the first floor. Local calls are free.

Two RCC Meetings & A Poll
Today (Friday): The RCC will be meeting today at Peace United Church. The club will open at approximately 6:45 PM. Here’s a note from Jack about the status of the Friday meetings:
As promised the club will be open this Friday. If the attendance for Friday meetings is decent, then I will incorporate the Friday meetings along with the Tuesday night meetings. But if attendance for the Friday night meetings is low after a four week trial run, then I will discuss terminating the Friday night meetings with the RCC officer board.
The reason for this is the Tuesday night meetings have been a pretty big success so far. With three weeks of Tuesday night meeting the club has had its biggest turnouts. Our first week we had 15 members show up. Our second week was a lot lower due to the fact I did not send out a e-mail announcement. We had a total of 6 members. Our third week we had a total of 17 members show up. So far with these numbers it shows the officers and myself that Tuesday’s are a hit.Regards,Jack
