Members had big smiles on their faces with having monthly lunches back. Members were able to sit down with friends and get a wonderful meal served at their table by our hard-working volunteers. Please look to our emails or website for more information. We have a Christmas lunch planned in December with all the fixings. Tickets typically go quickly so do not delay getting your tickets.

We currently run our club with one staff member, in addition to our class instructors, so we are extremely grateful and reliant on our member volunteers to help us with running our programs. We are always looking for talented individuals that can share their crafty side for new programming as we develop more activities. Interested in giving back? Whatever your skill or your age, we can find a place for you. To find out how you can help, call 204-416-1067 or email us at [email protected]. Remember we are a club of people that look out for each other, and volunteering is an important way to give back!

I’d like you to consider everything you do to reduce your carbon footprint positively. Your answers are similar and diverse, from composting and buying local to lobbying and keeping lawns chemical-free. But there’s more…Your environmental stewardship does not stop when your heart does. You have one more thing to do. The planet asks you to consider or reconsider your Green Legacy and how your funeral plans can make a Positive Difference. For More information visit RichardRosin.ca.
