  1. PIPSC Winnipeg Gathering: Pramesh advised that PIPSC is planning a weekend event at Assiniboine Park for all Winnipeg PIPSC members and their families. If there is interest, a food truck could be provided or PIPSC could rent a BBQ. Bouncy castles for children and prizes were also items that were talked about.
  2. Promotional Items: Rose would like feedback from the executive on what types of promotional items we are interested in purchasing. Money needs to be spent by Dec 31st. Some ideas were:
    1. Phone Poppers (David will get these from PIPSC);
    2. T-Shirts; and
    3. Small door prizes for May 28th Pizza lunch.
  3. Finances: Rose has advised there is currently $1541 in the bank account with an additional $1500 coming (still needs to be requested from PIPSC).
