We are happy to report that our Membership Appreciation events were successful.

Three of our members left with winning a basket, and Shelley (President), had the assistance from a members daughter.

We want to congratulate the following members, Candace DeCoste, Kerri Faulkner, and Bonnie Ashton on winning their baskets.

Members got the opportunity to relax and chat with members of the executive and other members in a social setting with some snacks.

This year will be a year to celebrate our membership.

Our Executive will be hosting 2 events, Sunday June 8 at Halifax Central Library, and Sunday June 22 at Zatzman Sportsplex.

Come meet the executive, and get to know your fellow members.

Remember to RSVP to the best date that works for you.
