August 14th 2009 Update

Well, it appears summer is winding down, we’ve only started to see some Summer like weather this last week or so. We always have to complain about the weather,I often wonder, what would We do if we didn’t have the weather to gripe about?

We had our second annual summer fund raiser picnic in July , at MacFarland Park on Niagara River Road in Niagara on the Lake, with an attendance of almost 30 people. It was a perfect day ,considering all the rain & cool weather we’ve had this year. I for one enjoyed lots of good  food and conversation with fellow members & guests.  The food was excellent as always, Thanks  to Cathy & Bruce, you people do an awsome job on the barbeque!

It was a pleasure to have Roger & Anne Ivol from the Hamilton & District Chapter attend this event, It’s always a delight to chat with them, they are a wealth of information and ideas, I’ve tapped into their ideas in the past, and I’m sure I’ll be  picking their brains many more times in the future. (Just to warn you , Roger)

I would also like to thank the following  Companies for their kind & generous donations to help make our summer fundraiser even more succesful.

Dell/Lewis & Krall    101-105 Queenston Street , St Catharines (905)938-5138

The Executive have been taking it a bit easier over the summer, but that’s not to say we’ve been totally lax either, we’ve been working on lining up the Guest Speakers, promoting Chapter awareness, and some other background detail work, however, having said that,I think  we’re all getting ready to get back into the swing of the upcomming year.
