Mr. Harvey shared with us the unique advantage that AT&T has in the world ofcommunications. It is no longer just the telephone business anymore, but also, cell, internet, data network, voice network, etc. Fibre optic intraconnections in cities has become a virtually endless number of connections to customers. AT&T, by its recent acquisitions, is now the only Canada-wide telecommunication company. Mr. Harvey said that e-commerce will dramatically increase over the nest few years. It appears that Windsor will soon be connected with a view to be more competitive for phone service and long distance calls. The changes that are yet to come will put technology at a far greater advance than seen today.

Pat described the activity schedule for the Capitol Theatre complex and its meaning
to the district cultural melieu. She said that a recent study calculated a 11.5 million dollar
annual impact on the community as a result of the theatre operation. Over 100 groups now use
the theatres. In the 1997-98 year, 259 events drew 58,900 attendees. The Capitol staff issue a
quarterly newsletter, maintain a local talent bank and an internet site which allows patrons
to not only see the event schedules but also to order tickets through.
She said that renovations to the structure were not yet completed and
would proceed as funds became available. President Steve told Rotarians that the Capitol
Theatre had contributed greatly to recent Easter Seal campaigns by providing a home to the
entertainment side of the telethon.

What are called Club Assemblies are held at intervals during the year, certainly at
midyear. They have no administrative functions but they sustain club activity and offer
opportunities to appraise the club's service activities and to exchange ideas on how to
make the programs and service projects more
effective.
About 40 rotarians took the opportunity to take part in this year's discussions.
A report on the proceedings is available in the
Club Assembly pages
which are password protected (club members only).
