Burns Club holds November Meeting Elects new member to Board

The Winnipeg Robert Burns Club welcomed John Madden to the Board of Directors in an aclamation held at its November Luncheon Meeting. John, a member of several years standing will complete the term of Chris Conway, who resigned in the spring due to family commintments.

Also, those in attendance approved the Board recomendation that the Burns Supper be held on Sundasy, January 25, 2009. The decision to hold the event on a Sunday is unprecendented in club history, but with 2009 marking the 250th anniversary of Burns birth, it was held to be appropiate. The Supper Committee are exploring the possibility of a late afternoon/early evening event, rather than the usual 8:00 p.m.
