54 Plus Club June EditionReminder: There are no General Meetings held in July & August. The next one will be on Monday, September 19th, 2022 at 1:00pm Fundraiser for My Sisters Place One of our former members has organized a benefit for My Sisters Place. Since this is a worthwhile charity which we have supported in the past we wanted to let our membership know of its happening. The club has also donated $100.00 in gift cards for the door prizes and we hope that this will help to increase the funds raised for My Sisters House.

We have been asked to meet with this group with some representatives from our membership to discuss what topics might be of interest to our club to have presented at our club. We are looking for some individuals who would be willing to meet with this organization sometime in July. If you would be interested, please contact Brian Robertson and he could provide further information Fall Elections 2022 In October nominations for the 2023-2024 Executive will be open. Any member of the Club is eligible to run for a position on the Executive. At this time, most of your current Executive is willing to continue working on the Executive; should they be nominated. At this time, the 1st Vice President has decided to step down. Club Day Trips At this time, we do not have a trip organizer. The best solution we have found is to provide information booklets from Hamilton Tours with the various day trips available. It would then be up to individuals or small groups of 4 or 5 to select what interests them contact the tour company themselves and make bookings. We know that this is not ideal but it is the best that we are able to do at this time. Fall Barbecue at Club 54 Plus A suggestion has been made to have a barbecue at the club in the fall and give old and new members a chance to become better acquainted with each other. If you’d be willing to sit on a committee to prepare and organize an event such as this please contact Brian Robertson Come join us for current FUN activities Shuffleboard, Exercise with Sonya, Bridge, Bid Euchre, Book Club, Arts Group, Darts, Pool Games, Line Dancing, Bowling at Base Borden |
