GET YOUR GLASS OVER HERE
We are in search of clear wine or liquor bottles in the 750ML size. We are using these for decorations for the Bash, so drink up and save for us your empties, or if you don’t drink, you are welcome to bring us full bottles as long as they are clear! We’ll take care of the unused contents. Bottles can be dropped off at Kathie Cocchi’s house, Summerwood Court. If you have some but can’t do the drop off, contact Diane Beaudoin and we’ll see they get to Kathie.
COOKOUT
Record Set! For the first time, seemingly in forever, 100% of the 93 sign-ups showed up last Saturday for a fabulous hamburger/cheeseburger cookout event! Ruth Henry-Dickinson and a crew of Canadian volunteers nailed this event like no other. Organizers, cooks, servers, set up and clean up helpers adorned in Canada Club red aprons gave it their all. Tables competed in Canadian Trivia. Background and dance music was played. Special candy, only available in Canada, was distributed to attendees. Fantastic Night! To all of the 100% who were there, and to all who put on this fun memorable night, THANK YOU for this event. Canada rocks!!! Oh, did we forget to mention, this event was pulled off in the RAIN. Canada ain’t no sissies!!
Marie Knowlton, TPPC President.
