Hi
Everyone
Say
Home - Stay Safe.
Never thought I would tell anyone to stay home!!! Travel has come
to a standstill with Covid 19. Remember this is just for now,
we will travel again soon. Fortunately we have Dr Bonnie &
a government that listens. It has been bad in Canada but not nearly
as bad as the rest of the world. Keep a social distance - 6' or
2m. If you know someone who is sick or can't gt out give them
a call, we need to stay connected.
At
our May meetings we worked on the calendar for 2021. If you have
any suggestions please let me know. Some suggested we keep the
same calendar as this year but we still had other suggestions.
Let's make it a fantastic travelling year to make up for this
one.
I
am expecting next year to be a busy one for travel so once the
calendar is decided we will need deposits.
We
will
continue to have 4 meetings a month once we are allowed to meet..
Regular
meetings once Covid 19 is over are:
Vancouver
3rd Tuesday.
Surrey - 3rd Monday
Coquitlam - 3rd Wednesday
Nanaimo - last Monday of the month
Please
click on "Meeting" for firm dates and locations.
The
club has been featured across the country appearing in the Vancouver
Sun, Toronto, Windsor, Saskatchewan and Edmonton newspapers. Locally
we have had write-ups in the Vancouver Sun, Abbotsford Times,
Tri-city News, Richmond News, Tri-cities Now, Georgia Straight,
Kelowna and Victoria. I was also invited as a guest on Shaw Express,
Channel 13 Breakfast Show. I attended meetings of the Hydro Pioneers,
Abbotsford/Mission/Aldergrove singles club, the North Vancouver
Seniors Club and the Abbotsford Learning giving presentations
at all of them. If any of you have any contacts for further exposure
for the club please let me know. The more members the more friends
we can make and the more trips we can offer.
Volunteers
are needed for a phoning committee and to welcome guests at our
meeting. If you can spare one hour a month it would be greatly
appreciated.
The
yearly membership fees are due in January and will be $30.00 +
gst $1.50.
If
anyone has a short article for the newsletter please let me know.
I
look forward to seeing you at one of our next meetings.
