Spring is Here
Members and their spouses enjoyed a socially distanced afternoon at President Nancy's.
 
After walking out into the sugarbush, Nancy explained their use of tap and lines.
 
We then saw the boildown process in action
 
 
Followed by a sampling of the finished product.
 
The weather was perfect and a great outdoor afternoon was enjoyed by all.
 
Easter Seals
We were joined in our virtual meeting tonight by members of The Easter Seals. In their presentation, they spoke not only about the programme that they run but also about how they have had to adapt it to the current health situation we are in. Joining us as well was the mother of a child who benefits from the programme. Laura explained the requirements that her son has, both financially and system supports and how Easter Seals helps meet their needs. All in all, it was a very thought provoking meeting.
Our next gathering will be on 23Feb at 1830 hours.
Thank You
THANK YOU
 
Thank you to everyone who contributed to our club's Christmas food drive. Your donations greatly exceeded our expectations and made a large difference to those families and individuals who are not as fortunate. Have a safe 2021
Christmas is Coming
Due to the cancellation of this year's Santa Claus Parade, the club has decided to bring a float to various parts of the community on the weekends of Nov 21/22, 27/28 and Dec 5/6. Donations of food for local food banks will be accepted along the routes from those who wish to contribute. Pictured below is the initial construction of the float,
 
 
the final product
 
 
and the construction crew.
 
PHYSICAL MEETINGS SUSPENSION
Due to the current public health  situation, our club will not be physically gathering until further notice. Our meetings will be held virtually for the foreseeable future. Please follow public health directives and stay safe. Thank you to those on the front lines for their efforts in keeping us safe.
