Lanark AGM
The Lanark Branch AGM was held on Thursday, May 19, 2022 at the Carleton Place Curling Club.  Our officers were elected for the upcoming year and volunteers were appointed to their positions. We had 28  attending including three visitors from the Ottawa Carleton Branch.
A picnic on Mississippi Lake is planned for Thursday July 21.
The Lanark branch is thrilled that our Judy Drummond will be installed as Provincial President at the June RWTO Convention being held in London, ON.  We are part of the team planning
the 2023 Convention “Cruising Down the Waters – Sailing into Kingston”.
Area 9—Lanark and Ottawa/Carlton
 Our outdoor presidents/insurance convenors combined meeting— on a cool October day, well bundled and well distanced. Thanks to area director Kathy McLean for organizing her carport and her backyard gazebo to accommodate our get together!  —- so nice to be together in person.

Congratulations Judy Drummond
