Thanks
to all who attended the four meetings in June.
The
Elvis festival in Penticton was a pleasant surprise. I enjoy his
music but have never been a special fan. Friday night in the park
was a concert with many Elvis's. Saturday evening show was spectacular,,
Sunday's gospel morning was wonderful and the final competition
on Sunday produce some wonderful talent. Next year will be the
10 anniversary and they have some excellent "Elvis's"
already signed up. Tickets are selling fast already. If anyone
thinks they would like to go next year please let me know now!!!

Windsor, Saskatchewan and Edmonton newspapers. Locally we have
had write-ups in the Abbotsford Times, Tri-city News, Vancouver
Sun, 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 a meeting of the Abbotsford/Mission/Aldergrove
singles club and the Abbotsford Learning + giving presentations
at both. 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.
